[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3333652, member: 22779"] That's all very well and good to say, but, again, didn't answer my question. Sure, Greyhawk is the setting. We're going to run Savage Tide in Greyhawk. Well, that already cuts out about 99% of the setting, since it only takes place in a very few locations. The campaign is going to be happening in and around water most of the time and pretty tropical. Right there, setting has knocked off desert creatures as a favoured enemy, as well as cold ones as well. Yes, the adventures will determine the campaign, but, unless your adventures are a fairly mixed bag of completely unrelated events, those adventures are going to rely pretty heavily on the setting. I did misspeak a bit when I said Against the Giants. Take it to GDQ or RTTOEE and now you have an entire campaign. Taking Favored Enemy Animals in either campaign is a complete waste of time. It's not terribly unfair to assume as a player that I'll have a bit of a hint as to what's coming. I don't see movies without any foreknowledge. I generally read the blurb on the back of a novel before reading it. I fail to see why the campaign I'm going to spend the next hundred or two hundred hours participating in can't survive if the DM gives me a couple of hints about what to expect. [/QUOTE]
