And it is sometimes fairly difficult for people to RP out going from sigil to Oerth or what have you. And so I'm saying that there isn't a lot of reason for the average player to go through all of that trouble to go to an empty or nearly empty room  because it's a different setting. I'm not saying they shouldn't and I'm not saying I agree with them, I'm just giving reason. But this is a problem. It is. I think that we should utilize the various campign settings and rooms more effectively if we want to have them at all. If we want people to really get into a setting, we need to say more than just "This room is in Oerth." We need to bring Oerth into the room, we need to make all the different parts of the setting fully integrated. Most people are just going to talk along the lines of "How are you, what's going on?" "Oh, I'm fine..." We can't expect all the players to spend their time talking about the setting if nothing's happening in the setting. We need to bring the settings to life if we want people to enjoy them as such. I'd suggest using a series of events, both in the rooms and not. For example, for the bazaar, put what's happening around the bazaar and the surrounding area somewhaere where we can access it so they can discuss it in the room and stay in-setting. And in tandem, have more events planned, not all like the upcoming social, smaller things, like maybe a weekly gambling event, or a gladiator match, or even a weekly show by a talented bard (Hint hint ;P) This'll keep people coming and then it'll keep the setting a part of the room. Just a few ideas</blockquote>
