Goodman Games joins the high-priced market...

I'll have to check this out. I'm looking for a setting to overrun with demons and devils for a possible new campaign, and this looks like as good a victim^H^H^H candidate as any!

The Wilderlands would also work well for this since the whole (unmapped) south is said to be populated by demons.

Bah they stole my world name. :\ It was on my submission to WotC's Setting contest.

I doubt that Goodman Games was privy to the setting search submissions, though.

I heard Joseph Goodman say, "we COULD make our own name, but why should we? Some ingenuitive fellow submitted a world name into the WOTC setting search. Aereth...sounds a bit like Earth...let's go with it! This way, he'll be upset that we stole his unpublished setting name! Ha ha!"

Well, the number of ways how you can spell "Earth" is limited .

I perfer Mondas.

(geeky sci-fi reference)

I perfer Mondas.

"Another name for Earth" . Although I have to admit that I've never seen any Doctor Who stuff.

In reality, it's a variant of "world" (lat. mundus, fr. monde, it. mondo). The latin name for Earth seems to be strictly limited to sci-fi.

Popular are also variants of Gaia, Greek for Earth.

actually it's not even just aereth. it's got that little accent line over the a which i usually think is a little overdone for fantasy names (especially apostrophes) but here i think it looks pretty good!

$69.99 box set.

Too pricey?

Looks like it's priced about right for the contents. I have no interest in it because if I want a relatively generic D&D-style world I just throw together my own, but for those who prefer not to homebrew it looks like a pretty decent buy.

Terra (latin, ground) seems common use too.

Terra (latin, ground) seems common use too.

As in the "erra" in "Aquerra" - Aqua + Terra

And yes, I was inspired by "Earthsea"

Well this looks very interesting! I'm a huge fan of Mystara, and have been thinking about using it for a future campaign. This product gives me pause a possible rival. .

At the very least I will likely purchase it in order to mine it for ideas, and the sheer enjoyment of reading it.

I like the two world maps, players and GM's. That's cool.

I agree that this is a great idea. I'm endlessly disappointed that more companies don't do this, as it is extremely useful for actual gaming
