[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6059640, member: 9037"] If I am going to buy a new setting I want it to be different than the ones already out there. It is just a reskinned version of other fantasy settings then even the setting junkie that I am makes me skip it. I think history is very important and plenty of political intrigue and I don't mind a world that can be dark where there is racism and slavery is legal. I also want to see pantheons that are different why does every god of the dead tend to be evil why can't there be a good god of the dead. I like a world with a lot of NPCs but I like what Kingdoms of Kalamar did they don't stat them out so the DM can decide how to use them. There is a lot of reasons why Kingdoms of Kalamar is my favorite setting. One reason is that it has a static timeline it lays out the world and its past and there are tons of hooks for DMs to make the world theirs without worrying about new supplements coming along and changing everything. I also like that instead of a separate pantheon for every race there is only one. And the world is not a kitchen sink the atlas actually looks real and makes sense. I think one of the biggest mistakes is to try and kitchen sink a fantasy world so that it has something for everyone. I think it is better to focus on one or two things it is a Hyberion age then do a Hyberion age if it is more a renaissance style world pretty much stick with that. [/QUOTE]
