[QUOTE="Sado, post: 1699453, member: 20589"] I don't know if this counts as a hook, but my favorite homebrew of mine, imagine a Mars type planet, a desert world with icy poles. Only bigger and hotter, where the poles are small oceans instead of icecaps, and the further you go from the poles the hotter it gets, until you get to the "tropics", which form a belt of impenetrable desert wasteland for about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Civilization is mostly confined to the area within 30 degrees of the poles, with more savage, barbaric, nomadic, and humanoid groups in the area between that and the mid-world wasteland. In the wasteland itself are strange and horrible creatures who have adapted to survive in that environment in interesting ways (and obviously a good environ for reptilian races), and who knows what life may have been driven underground by the overwhelming heat... Civilizations have risen up at the north and south poles, but they have had no contact due to the near-impossibility of crossing the middle desert. [/QUOTE]
