The pitches set within the world, though: that's where the money is. A couple of short campaign pitches that got played for a while were:"Straggling survivors of a betrayed mercenary company, making their way Magnificent Seven-style through the Free Lands to rebuild and get their revenge," and "Nordic-style battle and intrigue in the Wolf Clan holdings; axes, mead-halls and glory." When I started up a small game just for my brother and wife, we actually narrowed it down to one of three: • Arabian Nights-inspired corsair adventures, high seas and perilous islands, fantastic treasures and heroic swashbuckling with your ship as your home base• Political exiles banished to an ancient and abandoned underground city, working to define your fate and that of your fellow prisoners• Residents of an immense Gormenghast-like labyrinthine city, with far more corridors and vaults and galleries than residents to walk them, exploring the long-abandoned halls and perhaps attempting to find their way to the outside world.In the end, we had to roll a d3 to decide.I'm of the school that believes that your world itself doesn't have to be incredibly distinctive, if it's diverse enough to host a myriad of entirely distinct campaign ideas. I'm working on accumulating so many potential campaign pitches that next time we'll have to roll a d20 to pick.</blockquote>
