Of course some people want lite vanilla rather than deep longlasting flavour.I tend to either do settings that are either very specific and thus built for short focussed games or when wanting longer gaming will develop cultural thematic settings by region (eg Al-Qadim, Karameikos, Ravenloft Core, Mythic Polynesia, Cruithne, Majapahit, Central Europe) or by time (Bronze Age, Neolithic, 17th Century, Victorian etc) but within that different genre are possible including epic adventure, pirate, horror, war, domain management  (so is that kitchen sink?).</blockquote>
