[QUOTE="Vengue, post: 341474, member: 7138"] [b]commentary[/b] I am really impressed with some of the settings I have read so far. Must say that I feel a little humbled knowing there is so much untapped talent out there (some much for that self delusion). Here are my initial opinions on the settings I’ve read and the settings I consider noteworthy; Beneath the Gray…really like the Void and the Flame idea…sounds like a cool setting…but wouldn’t want to start a level one character, seems like he would have the life expextancy of a Twilight 2000 character. Mosaic…Seems like you would have so much different types of environments to roleplay in…sort of like Ravenloft but substitutes originality and unknown instead of the Goth factor. Alterra…Because I would like to read a book based on it. Gonna have to steal the idea of the Zhen Tao though. Samurai as fighter sorcerers….awesome idea. And elves as Angels. Very sweet and very creative. *bow* *grovel* *bow* Vast Horizons…wish I would have thought to submit my submission that way: like a story instead of an essay. Sundered Seas…cause damn it a sea setting would be cool (and I like the idea of having a pet nomek…ranger with high levels in animal training and a helm of underwater breathing….sigh Shadows of the Dominion….well because its mine…and kobolds need more recognition. Avatar…because every gamer needs to say “well my character is umm me.” Moon Gate…history of the world sounds neat and I like the breaking up of magic…would have been interesting…sounds a little like Dark Sun though. Lands of Leone…cause it reminds me a little of birthright with the political side, and because orange is a cool color damnit! Myrik…the villains just sound mean; Bonecasters, Vampire Lords, Stoneblades, Shadowknights, and Darkwights (gonna borrow these for my game, muhahahah) and I like the details in the setting. Eidus…because its better than my setting damnit and the panatheon is a great idea. Verdistum…talk about a great epic level world, think my players are going to find a suspicious astral gate that says “do not enter” (one way of course), they will definitely go for it. Siddir…Sorcerers being tieflings…enough said. Empire Ascendant…because I personally think monster societies should be more developed than the standard “tribe that raids for food” and me strongest, me in power. Sounds like this would have done well in this department. Asgoth- because that’s a lot of words to fit on one page. Again all thoughts are strictly opinions, and from a highly questionable source, but good job everyone, even if you didn’t win. Edit: oh yeah...and my vote would have gone to Harn world. That should have won. :D [/QUOTE]
