[QUOTE="Ringtail, post: 7811032, member: 7015570"] I would say it depends on the world. For example, I'd say a standard High Fantasy world such as Greyhawk or Forgotten Realms would probably be in the 'Not Unheard of' category by default, with variation based on personal preference. Golarion from Pathfinder has a world-wide guild called the Pathfinder Society that is all about adventurers and their best exploits are published in serialized magazines/journals. While I don't think Golarion is "lousy with them" they are definitely more common than other places and are probably well known. While not D&D, I imagine Warhammer's "Old World" is very much a "You do what now?" That setting and that game is much more lethal than D&D. I think the concept of someone who just adventures in Warhammer is so foreign many would just consider them dangerous vagabonds. Homeless guys with swords. (Basically brigands) Though Warhammer does have lots of adventurous professions like Road Wardens, Witch Hunters and Caravan Guards. Personally in my own worlds I like a mixture of 'Not Unheard of" and "You Do what now?" depending on the tone of the game I want to run. [/QUOTE]
