[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 3283244, member: 4285"] If I remember rightly, Jorune (of Skyrealms fame) was a Jupiter sized planet, meaning it had enough surface area to encompass the whole of Faerun, Aerth, pretty much every other published fantasy gameworld, and still leave plenty of breathing space for more. I don't want my role-playing to be balanced in any way. I want heroes beating incalculable odds because That's What Heroes Do. In chess terms, it's getting checkmate with three pawns. I want the heroes to feel like they've achieved something special, not defeated some critters and only lost 25% of their resources. That's a cowardly way to play, in my mind. I want the Fighter to face off against a horde of Gnolls, and make them not only back down but follow him into the Caves of Utter Terror, and survive. I want a game like that. And y'know what? That's what we do in my group, every single week. Balance? Hah! :D [/QUOTE]
