Message: <blockquote data-quote="SavageRobby" data-source="post: 3655754" data-attributes="member: 51573">I'm going to address these out of order.My solution to that is to set it in a different time period than exists for canon. "Sure, that was what it was like .... 100 years ago. But we're 100 years in the future, and things have changed."I advanced the timeline in my Scarred Lands game and just wrecked some of written setting. But we had a blast anyways.I read a little bit in the Scarred Lands thread previously. We had a 2 year campaign in the Scarred Lands that explored a number of non "kill things and stake stuff" themes. I think the Scarred Lands is actually an incredible setting for that. You can look at any number of murky social topics. Here are a sample:Calastia: Is social security and order worth the loss of some individual freedoms?Gods vs. Titans: Is history simply written by the winners? Have the Gods destroyed the natural order? (I had a global warming theme going in the background.) Order of the Morning Sky: Lawful good, or lawful fascists?Hedrad vs Mithril: Law and order vs. truth and justice, also, Why do Paladins let poor folks starve?There are a lot of good topics in the Scarred Lands. More, I think than in other settings. If you've got canon freaks, advance the timeline a little bit, free yourself up. What would happen if Virduk died and Geleeda took over Calastia? Maybe Anteas recruits the characters. What if Yugman is secretly a servant of the Titans and Dar'Tan is actually a servant of the Gods? Or, vice versa, and the Titans must return to the Lands to restore the balance.</blockquote>
