I have been tempted to do something more along this lines, though, for a RAW D&D game -- bring in towns from all sorts of supplements, add in every god written down, mix and match races and classes from all over, make it the ultimate melting pot, set on puree, and then top off with large doses of Terry Pratchett's wit.  Having Ptolus, Freeport, and the City State of the Invincible Overlord all in an area the size of, say, Germany would amusing.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
