[QUOTE="BiggusGeekus, post: 2331417, member: 1014"] Not for some. Some of people (e.g. me) want places that "could have been". Worlds that could potentially exist in the infininte universe. The why of it kind of has to come first. If you want a world with radical weather and make a post to that effect you'll get a variety of answers, many of them not plausible because they rely on magic to work. That's fine, but some people (e.g. me again) have an easier time suspending disbelief if everything works according to natural law. You also get some cool ideas this way. For example, if you know how the plate tectonics of your world works you can be inspried to create a strip of mountians that are highly volcanic which would make for a pretty neat adventure area. Obviously, story is the most important thing. Nobody's suggesting that you get embroiled into the geo-physics of a world to the point where you forget story. Mordor has a square mountain range, but nobody ever gave Tolkien a hard time about it. [/QUOTE]
