[QUOTE="BookTenTiger, post: 9217669, member: 6685541"] Here are more questions, for figuring out details about the [B]setting. [/B]I'm leaving a blank option for each in case the players want to do something crazy like floating islands... SETTING What is the dominant environment of our campaign? [LIST] [*]The sunbaked desert stretches to the horizon, broken by harsh badlands and blessed oases. [*]Thick forests (or jungles) climb steep mountain slopes; rivers rush through verdant valleys. [*]Islands dot the cerulean sea, the boundless horizon only occasionally marred by a broad, sandy coastline. [*]The arctic winds blow constant snows over the harsh peaks, steep fjords, and stark forests of these cold lands. [*]_____________________________________________________ [/LIST] What is the power structure of our campaign setting? [LIST] [*]A single major sovereignty rules over most of the realm; power is divided between various counts, barons, and governors. [*]Rival city-states vie for power, forming and breaking alliances and always threatening war. [*]The realm is ruled by petty warlords and fierce chieftains; will a single power rise to unite the fractured populace? [*]Divine or supernatural beings rule over the people; some are worshiped, while others demand sacrifice. [*]______ [/LIST] Who are the common folk of our campaign setting? [LIST] [*]Almost everyone in the realm identifies with a single dominant culture; they speak the same language, celebrate the same holidays, and view outsiders with wonder or suspicion. [*]Banners and flags mark the territories of many different cultures; the food, music, and even currency changes as one crosses the many borders of the realm. [*]The realm is divided between two rival cultures; each has its own customs, laws, and tangled history. [*]The cultures of our realm were once diverse, but have recently become united under a single banner; some welcome the unification, others rebel against it. [*]______ [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
