[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 1356912, member: 264"] Mine is "The City"...it is the ruins of the worlds last mega-metropolis (Most of civilization having been destroyed in a failed attempt by a cabal of the world's most powerful Wizards and Priests to "raise" the world's Pantheon of Gods, after they had been killed in a "War in Heaven). The City itself is immense, so much so that most of the uneducated scavengers of the current generation beleive the entire world to be "neighbourhoods" in all directions...stories from grandparents tell of expanses of land devoid of buildings, but are largely dismissed as fables by the young. Dwarves live beneath the streets of The City, and are responsible for most of the food production (Mushrooms). They are a degenerate race, with +2 to Str, -2 to Int and instead of Orcs, get their combat bonus against Vermin. Gnomes are known as "elves" by the populace, and live in a enclave in the city that once once inhabited by Fire Giants ("Giant Hall") Actual D&D Elves are known as the "Graven" and are the result of the generations long inbreeding of the old ruling class. +2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2 Str, -2 wis. The rest of their mechanics are the same as standard D&D. Vast tracts of the city are uninhabited, and what areas are inhabited are mostly run by local warlords (The PC's have come across neighbourhoods where Ogres forced sentients to fight in an Arena for the amusement of their Voivode, a neighbourhood run by the precepts of "Law and Order", where the punishment for any misstep was death, a neighbourhood run exclusively by Vampire Spawn for the express purpose of "Farming" for their Vampire Lords, etc.) In the expanses between neighbourhoods, monsters wander largely unchecked. ruins are, understandably, common, if not always rich with loot. So far the PC's have been loving it. [/QUOTE]
