[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9233619, member: 6796468"] Yeah, I have no intent of putting a Civil War into the setting. I've dodged that comment once but I should put it out there. The "Lost Cause" was a myth created by those who came after the Civil War and didn't want their traitorous bloodlines to reflect poorly on them. Particularly the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy. The whole "States Rights" thing and other garbage I was taught in middle school in Georgia was revisionist propaganda. And with the political climate being what it is in the US, that's as far as I'd care to discuss the matter on this website. There are two reasons I'd like to use a map -reminiscent- of America for this setting. 1) 90% of D&D style campaign settings are Western Europe with the Unapproachable East equivalents. The Remembered Realms is just the Sword Coast and Silver Marches, the most Western Europe part of the map, with things going further East and South barely mentioned anymore and mostly tied to non-European cultures. I'd rather go East to West and have non-Euro cultures be the core of the game. 2) It's just -cool-. North America as a continent is massive beyond words. The variety of vistas and plantlife, biomes and ecological niches, not to mention cultural variety? It's dazzling and should be put out there into a game for it's own sake. Though I will almost certainly be shrinking the map significantly, and -definitely- changing the layout a lot. While I wanna keep certain elements (Appalachia, Rocky Mountains, The Mississippi, Great Plains, Northwestern Rainforest, Southern Deserts, Northern Taiga and Tundra) I definitely wanna reshape it some. ... I missed the pun. Point it out for me? I'm so sorry! [/QUOTE]
