[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8371411, member: 82106"] I admit I have a tendency when running anything that is pretty much D&D-style fantasy to assume it is set somehow within the persistent world I've assembled over decades of play. OTOH I neither care much about 'canon', nor particularly shy away from simply devising an entirely different milieu, or letting it arise, as required. I mean, thinking of the DW process, I think it works perfectly fine in a setting that is not entirely a blank canvas but where most questions are not supplied definitive answers by existing material. So, maybe it is pre-established that the town is a port on an island in a large inland not-Mediterranean. That's OK, what is under the waves? What is the rest of the island like? Is it near any other land, or not? Who/What lives here? These are all things that may have SOME answers that can be readily supplied, but where there is always plenty of room for more detail, and if it seems advisable to change something significant, that's fine, as long as it hasn't impacted the current fiction yet (or there's some fun reason to make things change).
