[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 1445288, member: 2209"] If I know about it then yes. I did this a lot when I was doing Greyhawk in 1e and Ravenloft in 2e. Not significant time. Usually the ones I'd use that were not already located somewhere were specific location neutral, only requiring something like "when on a boat on a sea voyage" so I dropped it in when they crossed the Nyr Dyvv in Greyhawk. My brother did the opposite of this, he set his city of Ptolus from the Banewarrens on a post-apocalyptic greyhawk world (greyhawk gods are old religion, Ptolus is current dominant one) with Ptolus over Greyhawk on the map. He weaved the settings together so even one of the evil noble factions in banewarrens are descendants of the Scarlet Brotherhood and have their heraldry. I haven't figured out yet where Nightfang spire is on the map yet but I'm sure it is somewhere. My homebrews were usually when the party were in an established area and did something unexpected ("we are in greyhawk city, let's break into the crypts at night to see if there is anything worth looting!") or built off existing elements (Let's see Nulb is described as a hive of villainy but not much detail, I'll create some low level villains and villain groups they can tangle with, hmm, some rival gangs scrabbling for turf is a good place to start).
