[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8643607, member: 20564"] I do exclusively homebrew settings, and then run them each for one campaign (or very rarely two) of four to seven years in length. Each setting is internally consistent, making as much sense as it can while still following rules of the system I am using. There are lots of shades of grey, people (an expansive term here) have varied and believable motivations, etc. It should seem real, given the limitations of the DM as the window into the world. To put it another way, if there was a Turing test about reality of the setting, there shouldn't be any red flags that it's not. All of that said, since I do use Schrodinger's plotting and setting, nothing is true until it hits the table. So things can be revised as long as they don't impact anything already true (e.g. require a retcon), and those often are to help tell the story the table as a whole is interested in, as expanded in play from my thoughts on the needs for the next parts of the tale.
