[QUOTE="Shadowlord, post: 1121665, member: 10445"] I'm not sure what to make of this post. Was it sarcastic? If not, which post were you talking about? For those that wanna know, I'm gonna make my own rpg: setting, rules and stories. Never wanted to do that, but with what's currently available on the market, I don't have much choice. I'm looking forward to this thrilling project, but I'll do it step by step. It's a more mythical place, yet it's not so historically correct (for starters, the continent doesn't look in no way like Earth). It's a struggle between law (sience) and chaos (magic) with both being able to be good & evil. Think of Elric / Stormbringer. But there's more than this law vs chaos but I'm not gonna tell it all here! It's just this theme that keeps everything from becoming a mess, there's a reason why things are as they are. For ex elves are elves; ie mysterious fey that are hardly ever seen by humans. They aren't an uber-race. Magic is mysterious, magical, intriguing, corrupting, and dangerous. Magic isn't bound in strict spells & rules like a sience. On the other side there's sience that's growing. It's still primitive, so no electricity and such, but it allows for those cool inventions that Da Vinci drew 500 years ago.
