[QUOTE="Belegbeth, post: 1446263, member: 17228"] Well, since you asked, I would be thrilled to see a "campaign book" of some kind for Lyonesse (perhaps something for both d20 and the DERPG). It has always struck me that Lyonesse would make a great FRP setting -- it is closer to "high fantasy" than Vance's Dying Earth novels, but still has a distinctly sardonic 'Vancian' character to it. There are many great locations in Lyonesse. The Ulflands, Tantrevalles Forest, and Ys would all be interesting places for players to visit. Twittens Corner in the Tantrevalles Forest in particular would be great fun: an interesting "Faerie" and magic bazaar. There are also many interesting peoples in Lyonesse: Vance's version of Faeries, the changelings, the ancient militaristic Ska, the ancient people of Ys, and so forth. The magic system in the novels, if I remember correctly, is quite similar to the one found in the Dying Earth books (sandestin magic, etc.). But there are some interesting magic items that could be translated into game terms. I guess a campaign book that described some of these things -- either for use in a Lyonesse campaign or as ideas that DMs could integrate into their own campaigns -- would be a great resource. Though this is probably just wishful thinking, as I am not sure how much demand there is out there for such a product. [/QUOTE]
