[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 2832539, member: 359"] And now, a few (serious this time!) thoughts from somebody in the group. I've heard lots of good things about Iron Kingdoms, which might be a good way to play around with the Girl Genius steampunk elements that have been discussed. It might be a bit too similar to Eberron, though I really don't intend to play up the elements that are similar that much. Scarred Lands is pretty good. It's darker than what we normally do in a lot of places, but there's a lot of nice ideas there. The titan/gods conflict is interesting, something that's in several real-world mythologies, but doesn't show up in games too often. I'm not a huge fan of some of the setting-specific mechanics, though. The monster books are great fun. Wilderlands is supposed to be excellent. Everyone I've heard discussing it has seemed to really like it. You'd have to look at some reviews to figure it out, though - I've not really looked into it, since I'm a big Eberron fan, and intend to use that for most of my games for the foreseeable future. Let's see here. What else is still in print? Arcana Unearthed/Evolved is interesting, though the mechanics might be a little farther afield than what you were looking for. 'course, you already know that, since we've discussed the setting before. Just something to think about. Kingdoms of Kalamar is a solid fantasy setting, though there's not a lot that makes it stand out from the "generic fantasy" mold, at least in my mind. It's always seemed to me like Greyhawk with a different map. I really don't think this group would like Midnight all that much. That's just my personal opinion; they've liked Iron Heroes more than I expected, so maybe I'm mistaken. I just don't think people would like the unrelenting grimness. I'll continue to swear by Rokugan for as long as I can. Then again, I love it. Not everybody does. I will run Thousand Years of Darkness again, dang it. Hmmm. More later. [/QUOTE]
