Help Design a Grass Roots Setting

[Simon Magalis]

I am working on a homebrew world in which to set a new campaign. I want it to be fairly low magic in comparison with FR and other popular settings. I would like any and all ideas that you guys might have. I am also leaving out Gnomes and Halflings (I love both these races, but they don't really fit my vision here) and need some suggestions about what races could fill their places. Lizardfolk was one I was considering. I know this sounds very vague and it is meant to be. Basically, if you were doing this, where would you start? Big ideas, little specific suggestions... anything helps. Thanks in advance for the help!

I would direct your attention to the Plots & Places forum; you might read through some of the older threads for ideas and maybe post there as well.

Bugs.. Bugs are always in grass roots.
Maybe worms too. And plants. It's not
really grass without plants. And dirt is
a plus.

Oh.

Nevermind then.

The Plots and Places section doesn't look too lively, not that the advice I have gotten here about worms and bugs is all that helpful. Ahh well.
