[QUOTE="Drifter Bob, post: 1443069, member: 17723"] [b]DERPG Gazetters[/b] The thing about the DERPG stuff, as you probably know, is that it's quite rules-lite. The same goes for all their suppliments, they do not mess about constantly with crunchy bits, (thats what I get to do later when I'm converting things to D20) they concentrate more on characters, plots, mood, and humor. Oh, and recipes. They really like recipes... and food. And drinks. And funny hats. That makes it adaptable pretty readily. As for the three you mentioned, I don't have Acolais and the Land of the Falling Wall yet, but I have Kaiin and Scaum valley. Both are very richly detailed, full of NPC's and sub plots and adventure hooks. It would boil down to whether you want a city, or a swath of countryside. I personally found Scaum valley a bit darker and Kaiin a bit more humorous. As I said before I also highly reccomend the XPS issues, because they have such a variety of material in there, most of it again, readily adaptable to any other rules system. There aren't a lot of charts or numbers to get in the way. DB [/QUOTE]
