[Merged] My Six Setting Proposals

[Random Goblin]

It might be just me, but I think Anthony Valterra did a good job in answering the deluge of questions.

Anyway - I really like Gondwanaland and Illyria of your proposals. I do, however, notice that you did use a number of real-world term, including Gondwanaland. That's fine for lesser-known terms, but in abundance, those names rather detract from the setting. And "Black Rupert?"

Twilight of Gaia was supposed to have a western-genre feel. I thought Black Rupert was dope-sounding.

What terms did I use "in abundance?"

Gondwanaland is a lesser-well-known term, and it sounds cool, and maybe I'm saying that prehistoric gondwanaland wan't populated by magic and monsters. Its fantasy, for crying out loud.

What terms did I use "in abundance?"

None, thankfully.
Considering your next sentence, I propably phrased myself badly. It is certainly ok to have the occasional "real-world reference" - in moderation, as everything. There is a fine line between using it to evoke the feel of the setting, and to detract from it.
I certainly did not want to suggest that your Gondwanaland is the geological Gondwanaland (nor do I believe it is).

Its fantasy, for crying out loud.

That's my battlecry, more or less.
