Seriously, though, do you prefer homebrews?

[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 339471, member: 6779"] My experience has been that one [I]D&D[/I] setting is very like another. For all the mighty warring that goes on about them, FR and Greyhawk and most of the homebrews I've played in feel pretty much the same, it's just a matter of what names are on the map in this particular scenario. Yes, there are some differences when it comes to PC races and so forth, but at best, they are variations on a theme. Low level wizards all know magic missile. Mid level wizards all know fireball. High level wizards all know wish. Rogues open doors and disable traps. You start by fighting kobolds, then go on to goblins, graduate up to bugbears, etc., until you're fighting beholders, mind flayers, and adult red dragons, and so forth. Right now I'm using a "disposable homebrew" for my game, because I had a neat idea for an alternate history for the drow. Once this particular game is over, and my alternate drow history has been explored, I'll probably dump the world and use GH or FR for "regular" [I]D&D[/I], and probably dump [I]D&D[/I] in favor of some other system (Hero, maybe) for gaming in my primary homebrew setting. -The Gneech [/QUOTE]
