Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shipyard Locked" data-source="post: 7081211" data-attributes="member: 6875947">Hey Sacrosanct, long time no see.I'm currently putting together a D&D setting that closely resembles the Fire Emblem series of games (specifically the 4th, Genealogy of the Holy War) without actually being Fire Emblem or losing too many D&Disms. I'm always mindful of having a relatively pure experience for the many new players who tend to end up at my table.Fire Emblem emphasizes military skirmishes over dungeoneering, so I'm hoping for once that mounted combat will play a major role. The plots also tend to be old-school political intrigues but with a way more upbeat tone that modern fare like Game of Thrones.The key obstacle was keeping the world relatively human-centric without outright banning D&D standard races because Fire Emblem is generally human only + dragons and/or animal-shifter people. My current solution is to say up front that the setting is initially designed to be human only, but if any player wants to roll up a nonhuman (and I'll allow almost any race for this purpose), I will include that race and ONLY that race in the makeup of the setting. And I'll do it thoroughly too, I'll seriously integrate them as a small but significant minority with a solid cultural write up that makes sense for the existing material. I figure this is a good way of getting that special unique feel the rare laguz/taguel* characters have in the games.* the previously mentioned shapeshifter races.</blockquote>
