[QUOTE="Ed Cha, post: 1497396, member: 10972"] I have Bluffside and it is great! Very high fantasy stuff. You might want to ask Hal Greenberg about it though. He's on here a lot. The Hamlet of Thumble is indeed a good introduction to a campaign. It's 72 pages of value-packed information for only $14.99 and you can get it right here at the EN World RPG Shop and help support this site: [url]http://www.rpgshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=32921&[/url] There's a fully detailed hamlet (all 130 residents are named with 58 adults having complete statistics, including possible dialogue and height, weight, hair/eye color, etc) along with a short basic adventure (burrow crawl), DMing advice, an article on how to encourage better role-playing, and lots of extras like 3 core classes, 56 new spells, 12 new magic items, 12 pre-gens, etc. It was recently nominated by GameWyrd as [b]"The RPG or Supplement Most Likely to Inspire Good Roleplaying"[/b] because the focus is on the characters and personalities and the role-playing tips have been described as very helpful. More detailed information can be found here: [url]http://www.openworldpress.com/a.php?p=1a_content[/url] The follow-up is The Village of Oester. But you really have to decide what kind of campaign (high magic, low magic, high fantasy, low fantasy, etc) you want to play and try to find the most similar. I'd recommend buying several different supplements and picking and choosing what you like. Or just reading them to get inspiration for your own ideas. By the way, thanks for the mentions, BiggusGeekus and Setanta. Always appreciated! [/QUOTE]
