[QUOTE="DMH, post: 2402764, member: 24945"] Someone asked to pimp their favorite d20 setting here: [url]http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=204751[/url] And here is what I posted: Oathbound is a extremely high fantasy setting where the PCs are put through the grinder so that either they die or become more powerful. The domain lords draw people from other world to find those few (like one in a trillion) that can best them and take their place guarding an imprisoned god. The god's power slowly trickles out of the planet (aptly called the Forge) and allows people to personally evolve (old system was powers for xp, new is power in place of levels) and causes other funky things. Since everything is drawn from other worlds, anything can be on the Forge as long as it is not powerful enough to kill the lords intially. You want jedi, dinosaurs, robots, the X-men, 600 forms of goblins, whatever- it can fit easily. The domains are a massive city and its environs, a war torn desert, an undead filled arctic wasteland, a forest where predators rule, a volcano and pirate city, a mountain range with giant monsters and wind wizards and an underground land that is controlled by rogues and vampires. One of the things I like about it alot is there are no published nations that are based on Earth history. They can be added easily, but it is not a pseudo medevel world. [/QUOTE]
