[QUOTE="stadi, post: 8780363, member: 6956946"] The world never seemed like one where people go on adventures to me. It is a fairly static feudal society, where all the people who have magical swords / armors are in the army of a noble. If I remember correctly, most people are not even allowed to travel. At least in the books I've read, we don't even get to know the world that much. Apart from a couple of shorter side-stories everything concentrates on the main story which plays in a singe location where not that much happens. People levelling up is not what makes a world suitable for RPGs for me, but how much they can go on adventures. Let's say Star Wars vs Star Trek. Even though I'm a big Star Trek fan, I never really thought playing a Star Trek RPG makes much sense, or at least that it would be fairly limited in what you can actually play. In Star Wars you can be whatever you want to and there is space for that, because that's how the world was set up. In Star Trek, you are either part of Star Fleet, or don't exist (this might be a bit exaggerated of course). Thanks, did not even know it existed, I might have to take a look. [/QUOTE]
