Message: <blockquote data-quote="boredgremlin" data-source="post: 5812750" data-attributes="member: 31646">I would like a default setting as a DM. I have 4 kids and a home based business. Squeezing in time to write adventures is hard enough without having to come up with an entire world. Anymore I am just going back to using worlds I wrote 5 or 10 years ago when i had time and I'm honestly a little bored with those worlds now. I think I'm probably not the only person with a time crunch who still enjoys running games either. So for people like me it would be great. I dont want anything too detailed though. Just a good framework I can hang something around. Something like the old grey box for FR, or even the western heartlands in later versions of FR. Ravenloft was great for that too. I liked the points of light concept for 4e. It was about the only thing about 4e that I did like. They wound up making it too detailed, but if they had just taken it back a notch or two that was the perfect world setting.   I mean if i had my ideal setting WoTC would just buy the rights to the warhammer fluff and I would use that world without having to re-write things. But since thats not likely to ever happen they just need to keep lots of open territory for beasties and lawlessness, some big centers of civilization that are detailed pretty well and for once, just once, finally include some of the info about the bad guys.  something like "in this large stretch of mountains there are scattered orc and dwarf holds. The most powerful of the orcs is a warboss named eatsomedwarf. He rules with an iron fist and this is his symbol. " Maybe include some info about his lieutenants and a common patrol you might run into along with a location for his base.  Things like that. A wide open sandbox is good. A sandbox with a merry go round and jungle gym is better. Lots of play room and some stuff already set out that you can play on and build with.</blockquote>
