[QUOTE="StarFyre, post: 8344557, member: 26055"] I use D&D settings, lore, locations, etc as much as possible. I do modify stuff, but only if needed for something not covered or something i really just want/need to change to fit a specific thing, but that,i would say is minimal. My base is 2e planescape from a general cosmology (using the creation of the multiverse from Guide to Hell, Die Vecna Die, and hinted background in Dead Gods and the final Dragon magazine from Paizo). Then i use setting lore where for details (for example the expanded Drow lore from 2e/3e, and those Drow novels - the ones dealing with Lolth and the other drow gods from the late 90s into early 2000s). I change it in a way that drow on Greyhawk are still like the Drow on toril but the original event is whats detailed in the FR detailed lore. Then the greyhawk ones basically joined in later. easier for me to treat them as one in that sense. I also incorporated a bit of 4e lore but thats a much more...strange change and dealing with the cosmos as a whole. again my campaign goes deeper into that stuff than most i would imagine. While many campaigns, at least from surveys in D&D groups, seem to use lord of the rings, conan, game of thrones (and then other fantasy sources) as the style and general world sense (with the added fantasy from D&D on top of that framework), mine is full on Infinity Saga/Infinite Crisis/Annihilation/Loki , etc . I find it easier to use and make adjustment to official lore as its less work for me in planning and its easier to answer questions for my players (cause yes, that stuff comes up).
