[QUOTE="Gold Roger, post: 2627878, member: 33904"] My current and first homebrew "Sealon" is quite a hodge-podge of influences in flavor, fluff and crunch. It started out as an Iron Heroes Pirate setting inspired by the "One Piece" Manga In short you could descripe it as take the movie "Pirates of the Caribean", all three "Indiana Jones" movies, the two "The Mummie" movies and any Mantle and Dagger movie, then turn the whole thing into an fantasy Anime, with some more influences from that genre. The only player race are Humen. Monsters are rare, except for Neogi, that are mostly as in Lords of Madness, only completely seafaring and served by Chuul and not Umber Hulks. Players can take traits that grant them small magic abilities, that they can improve with feats. The current two PC group is a telikenetic Jack-of-all-trades thief with supernatural luck and Weaponmaster with powerfull build and supernatural eyes, that can sense magic and see through darkness (short range darkvision). Other magic is attained through Lore feats, using rituals you can learn in ancient ruins. There is no Arcanist, but a Sage class that grants bonuses with Lore feats and supernatural traits. I use self created villain classes, Iron heroes classes, standart D&D classes and Monsters from all books I own for opponents. The setting is all Islands, like in El-Remmens aquerra every mytholody stards with the worlds sundering. Because it's all island and a really large (the whole oceans the PC's are currently in is considered backwater!) world I can drop in whatever I want. Inspirations come from about 6 anime and manga and dozens of films. However, I don't consider this my "offical" homebrew, though I may revisit it once or twice after the current campaign. Instead I'm working at a Campaign World that has much more of my own work and is less over-the-top thrown together, though it uses Warforged, Shifter and Changelings together with most of theyr crunch from races of Eberron, though not as much fluff.
