[QUOTE="Foundry of Decay, post: 956794, member: 846"] If your truly uninterested in the ruleset, the Warhammer Fantasy RPG books, and some of the Mordenhiem books are some of the most detailed I've come by. A LOT of detail has gone into those books. Please note, I'm not being smarmy here. I'm simply trying to help, since I gather that the original poster is trying to find a game world that is very well written. Palladium has an alright world. If rules seriously aren't what you'll be worrying about, you will find a lot of unique concepts in Palladium. However In my personal opinion, you might want to re-name some of the places, as it looks as if someone randomly threw darts at a chart of the alphabet to name some of the towns and sites across the world. For detail, you'll have to buy a lot of world books. I have 3 or 4 books that are pretty decently detailed, including cities and such, and I've only scratched the surface. My advice is that if your looking for a very well done world, go with Warhammer, though since they are expensive books and I think there would be a few to pick up and such, Palladium is a good runner up, as long as you don't mind the odd silly name and such, and perhaps having to buy a good deal of 'site' books as well. Your best bet is to nab the setting books, and use 1e DND rules (Which you can find for cheap in the used section of a game store). 1e was terribly fast, and had none of the little niggly things that you might worry about with 3e.
