Now that I have got my Castles & Crusades PHB and I am very pleased with it (nostalgic feel, simple rules that won't give you headaches and powergamers, better treatment of races IMO, and ability to houserule anyway I want), I have decided to convert some of my campaign setting to it.
At first I thought converting my defunct "Highlands" setting to it, but now I suddenly remember all the homebrew that I have begun at one time or another. So I put a poll here and ask you what you would prefer if you were to play with me:
1) Typical 1e Greyhawk/Zagyg Style: I still have a whole campaign setting with maps, all the stuff handwritten on paper, with maps and else. I remember fondly some of the adventures I ran ages ago in this setting.
2) Tolkienesque Style: This is my Highlands campaign setting which still have to be finished. Heavily based on, and reminding of, Middle Earth and the world of Stephen Donaldson (David Covenant the Unbeliever) where "Bloodguards" are of the monk class. All of this in a mountainous region vaguely inspired by Scotland.
3) World of Law/Chaos Moorcock Style: I have a world, inspired by Elric's world, plus Conan sword and sorcery. It has all new races, and many new classes. But the feel is peculiar: grim and gritty, no shiny knights and the like. Interesting world, but much rework from the C&C PHB.
4) Warhammer world with C&C rules: I originally determined to use that with Grim Tales, which is perfect IMO for that setting. However, Warhammer is a world of elves, dwarves, magic, etc., which originally was inspired by D&D, plus stuff inspired from Moorcock law & chaos. I think the world itself, vaguely altered, with NO explicit references to Warhammer could be used with C&C rules. One of the things is, that such a setting could emphasize an Euro-medieval look perfectly well.
So, what would be your choice? Any comment welcome of course.
