Rejected Settings... (Humor)

Supermarket World! Where brave adventurers battle through cart traffic jams in the forest of canned vegetables to reach the treasure in the meat department! Thrill to the horror of the paper products aisle! Cower in terror at the endless sugary cereals! Gasp at the power of clerics who invoke the gods of bottled salad dressing!
 

Da 'Hood: This setting would have completely revamped much of the d20 core classes. New classes would include: Da' Mac Daddy, Gangsta', Crack Fiend, and the quintessintial gansta' rapper replacing the standard bard class. A large number of new "magic" items would be available: +3 Tec-9, Urza's Crack Pipe, Malt Liqour, and Gold Chains of Badness. Unfortunately this rich and vibrant setting was rejected do to the limited demographic appeal.
 


I can't believe they ditched my Standard High Fantasy World.

I mean, who can resist a combination of powerful wizards, mighty warriors, magical swords and terrible dragons!?!

The beauty of this world is that nothing happens in it. The adventures are all about nothing. The PCs go to a new pub run by "the Soup Tyrant": there's an adventure. The PCs go swimming, and talk about shrinkage. The PCs hold a contest to see who can go the longest without "polishing their swords," if you know what I mean (and I think Hong does).

The heroes are Jerry the jester, and his sidekick, George, a balding dwarf rogue, and the bumbling wizard Cosmo.
 

up side downia- where you sit under the chairs and eat food from under the plates

inside outia- where you live outside your housean dplant crops inside the farm

computer land- where computer rule the humans- but orc own the computers and dont know how to use them

game town- where everyone's a gamer- and favored weapon is a d20 dice as a ranged weapon

Peasantville- where no one can advance past peasant/ commoner
 

Kansas. Everyone is happy, and christian, and all the characters scold the players for playing that evil devil worship game called the universe. Not only that, tornadoes contstantly threaten everything you hold dear.

Everyone is a faceless drone living in a sad, sick opressive empire, where their every move is watched, yet beneath this, exists an even stronger government, one even more sick and twisted, one where something as small as body shape can have you shunned, a place where, despite all this strict law and order, complete chaos rules..... Middle School. Classes include Geek, Prep, Jock, Goth and Student COuncil Member

The land of the mystical nuthouse--- Everyone is loooooooooonyyyyy. From the man who thinks he is made of sugar, to the lady who likes to eat pants, no one here is sane.

BarnumiandBaleya--- Classes include Clown, Trapeze Artist, Freak Show Exhibit, and human cannonball.

Blah Land-- Everything is as it seems. And nothing seems particularly interesting. You must get a job and work your hands to the bone to survive. There is only one class-- Balding, nerdy white guy who works as an accountant.

Hello!

Posted by Wormwood:
I have high hopes for mine:

Legoland
If Wizards rejects that, you might want to do up a GURPS treatment and fire it off to Steve Jackson - he's supposedly a serious Lego-phile. In either case, sounds like you have a sweet "product placement" deal just waiting to happen... :)

Posted by DM with a vengeance:
Lethalworld: Where heroes battle monsters with items and abilities that do 300d20 damage in a single hit and everybody has 1hp/level.
Perhaps this one would bring some measure of consolation to the poor neglected Dark Sun fans out there. ;)


The rejected world I heard about was really weird. It had no name, but Jane Burnham ruled a magocracy, and Humbert Humbert and his lackey Jacob Kell plotted against her. Their plots were foiled, though, by Jimmy Olsen and Shorty Meeks. This world supposedly had great potential, and even attracted some serious development money, but was rejected for atrocious writing and a tendency towards marginal-to-Shatnerian role-playing among the playtesters.

Some rumors are just TOO impossible to believe, eh? :D
