[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 9789238, member: 6780330"] OK, here's the thing: Greenwood is not the one who made the Moonshae Isles Celtic and British Twee. The Moonshae Isles in the published Setting were imported from another Setting product thst got cancelled, because TSR had a novel ready to go by Douglas Niles. So they replaced an archipelago that was like Ursula K. LeGuinn's Earthsea with this cancelled Setting from TSR UK. All of the "real world analogues" were actually added to the Setting after TSR bought it, and tacked them on: Damara and Vaasa were originally the vaguely Slavic Setting for Modules H1-4 (also by Douglas Niles) which they replaced an area of uninhabited glacier with, or Maztica (also...by...Douglas Niles...) which came out of nowhere (other than Douglas Niles wanting to write self-insert fanfic of himself as Hernando Cortez). The important point is, Douglas Niles ruined everything. [/QUOTE]
