[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 4853640, member: 607"] Let's see: Eberron - Pulp fantasy: two-fisted adventurers in magical setting reminiscent of the 1920s. - Low, wide magic: minor magic is common, powerful magic is rare. - Old races are new again: elves, dwarves, halflings, goblins, orcs and gnomes all have unique flavor. - New races tied to the setting: construct soldiers, psionic ascetics, morphing changelings and savage beast-men. - Balance of Terror: a continent-wide war just ended because of a nation-wiping cataclysm, but peace is but a dream. - World of exploration: mysterious continents await brave adventurers. - Mercantile Princes: twelve houses hold control of major economic areas thanks to magical birthmarks. - Ancient Evil stirs: demons bound in the underground, alien entities sealed in a distant plane, insidious nightmares ruling a far-off empire, dragons manipulating a mighty prophecy to control the future. Dragonlance: - Heroic Fantasy: good-hearted adventurers in world where magic is rare and power has a price. - Balance in All Things: Good, Neutrality and Evil must coexist. - Magic is Controlled: wizards gather in secret societies, clerics in strict religions. - Dragons are no mere beasts: each dragon is smart and has its own agenda. - There's a place for funny: gnomes are crazy engineers, kender are benign kleptomaniacs, gully dwarves are decadent dummies. - There's a place for love: sincere love is the mightiest weapon, obsessive passion is the downfall of the powerful. Ravenloft: - Gothic Fantasy: tragic heroes in a world of supernatural horror and insidious corruption. - Evil is Rewarded... And Punished: evil deeds bring more power and corruption, until the evildoer becomes trapped in a prison of his own making. - The World is Beautiful By Day and Terrifying By Night: By day there's hope, beauty and love. Night brings despair, horror and rage. [/QUOTE]
