Adventuring in Austria

A post-apocalyptic world is a Wild West world,

Perth

without strong governments

Brisbane

and other "proper authorities".

Sydney

Everything is a wild frontier,

Darwin

and each new town is its own microcosm.

Hobart

That makes for good adventuring.

MORE BEER!

Additionally, hong, Oz is home to some of the most dangerous species known to man (no, not rugby players, I'm talking about the things that are genetically non-human). Not to mention the ones that are extinct. I once heard tell of giant carniverous kangaroos, which apparently are fun to joke about until they gutted you.

So ... is beer a Material Component or a Divine Focus?

 

[Talaysen]

Beer is a material component. Now SCOTCH is a divine focus!

...I don't drink, mind, but I have to say something on behalf of those of Scottish descent.

Re: Chances suck?

I dont figure how you figure.

To pin everything on a flying islands theme is odd. I take the mickey out of the flying islands theme because it doesnt make sense.

Why would a post apocalyptic world do better? What about a pre-apocalyptic world, on the verge of an apocalypse by a greater evil?

Even better no? Since the players know there is a grand threat, so the question becomes: Who was really behind the kidnapping, etc. In a pre-apocalypse setting, the hero's get to encounter sidekick EvilBob and bob's henchtrolls. (In LotR, it was Saruman).

Etc,

I was making a joke....obviously a really bad one since you didn't seem to get it.

There have been so many posts on "flying islands" and "post-apocalyptic worlds", so when AV said:

4) A number of "themes" are apparent. Its likely that aspects of the final pick will have similarities to something you wrote.

I automatically had the horrifying vision that the winning entry would be a post apocalyptic world with demon infestations on flying islands.



Personally I think "flying islands" is one of the most inane, unoriginal ideas out there, but I've already stated that before in other posts.

<SIGH>

I hate when I have to explain my lame-ass humor

Almostthere.

Scotch is a material component. Glen Livet is a divine focus.

OT

I watched this thing on the travel channel one time, about taking trips through the Australian (Austrian) desert, and all of the things you had to take with you or you'd die.

If you did one thing wrong, you'd die.
If you left your car, you'd die.
If you stopped to go to the bathroom on the way there, you'd die.

Man, it made Australia (Austria) look like Athas.

Well they have a long history. "Flying islands" are present in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver Travels, as espoused in the land of Laputa, the basis of the Studio Ghibli movie of the same name. If done well, I'm quite open to the idea.

Sounds cool!
