[QUOTE="Sundragon2012, post: 2635052, member: 7624"] I read it over and not to be a wet blanket I see it as a gigantic vanilla setting that I could mine for ideas from time to time if I was in a hurry to prep for a game. I guess that the Wilderlands is supposed to be a gigantic blank canvas upon which a DM can write his own tales, and as such a setting it succeeds on a massive scale. It is a great plug-n-play setting for DMs who don't want to do their own homebrew or don't want a setting with a strong personality. If you want a setting that oozes atmosphere and makes you say "damn! I wish I came up with that!" (not just in regards to production values but innovation or character) this is not the setting for you. For character and personality nearly any 3rd party setting on the market from Scarred Lands to Dawnforge to Midnight or Iron Kingdoms would suit your tastes far more than this setting will. I'm not downing the setting, it simply isn'y my cup of tea. If I want something that doesn't come with its own strong personality until I create it I would do a homebrew. When I buy a 3rd party setting, I look for something that strikes me in regards to innovation, personality, atmosphere and.....some undefinable quality that grabs me. Chris [/QUOTE]
