[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8850601, member: 6801228"] Since there is more than 8 pages, I don't know what setting you are referring to. However, I've certainly run settings with far less material than 8 pages. Heck, I could give you a sentence and it would provide enough material to run a very specific setting. Probably a long sentence, since you would pendant it and demand more details or you "couldn't possibly" run it, but it has been done many many times. A paragraph can cover even more. And yet, plenty of material to run the setting with. As I have discussed. Many times. The problem is, you refuse to believe it can be run with so little information. In part because you know the "correct" version of the setting, so you see nothing but holes. Uh huh. Because I was dealing with a single city. Note, I didn't start claiming that every room in the palace was a different notable location. In fact, if you knew the book and counted, you'd note I DIDN'T count the high city, the middle city, the lower city, or the underside as locations. They were divisions where the locations existed. Meanwhile, you counted the city, the first wall of the city, the second wall of the city, the third wall of the city, the fourth wall of the city, the fifth wall of the city, the sixth wall of the city, the seventh wall of the city, the gate in the walls of the city, the palace, the tower at the top of the palace, the courtyard in the palace... all as separate locations. Which, if I was doing the equivalent, like I said, I could count each wall of each building as a separate location. What do you call a gate? Isn't it a door for a city? And yes, so notable, the fifth wall of Minas Tirith is very notably different than the third wall. That pool of water outside the secret waterfall cave, just very notable, it carries significant differences to other pools of water. Oh, and let us not forget naming the same place twice, just under different names. I wanted you to be honest about the attempt. I was obviously a fool, but that is what I wanted. [/QUOTE]
