Then we did some revision of the magic system using spell points, and giving the mages a chance to use spells above their level (with the chance of very bad effects on the mage). From there, we started looking at how we could- in our mind- improve some of the monsters (such as basing the goblinoids on ancient warring societies such as the Romans, the Turks, the Mongols, etc). Then we looked at each of the classes, and decided where we could base themn on historically accurate societies without changing the game too much... just enough to give it a different flavor.The big thing to remember is that as you are designing your world, be preepared to make changes to your plan, and be willing to sacrifice decent ideas if they don't fit. Also... don't do it yourself. There are three of us building our home brew, and each brings in his own history with the game, and with their own lives, and their own viewpoints. We don't agree on everything the others do, however we are able to sit and discuss it dis-passionately, and come up with the best solution for the group and the campaign.Hope it helps</blockquote>
