[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 2051305, member: 1465"] There are things from different source settings which I'd like to use. For example, I think the Faerunian pantheon is still my favourite as it provides a large range of faiths to worship, but I am not willing to play Forgotten Realms in its entirety. I have nice 2ed adventures I'd like to run which are from settings such as Ravenloft, Dark Sun or Dragonlance (I have been ransacking WotC free old edition downloads page :p ). I have good maps found on different websites, which are from other settings as well. I'm thinking about using this material, eventually adapting it so that is makes something consistent, but I think most of it would be very recognizable. Probably not the adventures, but for example if I use a map of Faerun, no doubt that some players will think that we're playing in FR and may expect to find the Zentharim of Elminster somewhere. I could change the names of the Faerunian deities to try to disguise them, but then I can't show Faith & Pantheons to the players, and definintely I cannot change the names on the map. What is your opinion on using spare material from different settings. Do you think it's horrible? Would you hate to find elements of your favored setting used outside of the setting itself? A lot of things are adaptable and I'm willing to do that; for example a Ravenloft adventure doesn't have to take place on the Ravenloft plane itself, it could just be in a specific region on our homebrew world, and changing names is very easy, but at the same time there are those few things which I cannot easily change if I want to use the F&P book and maps. Just doing a little survey here, so that I can know what to expect from my players... :) [/QUOTE]
