[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 4050481, member: 7177"] When creating [URL=http://eruvian.com/locale.asp?localeID=74]Urbis[/URL], I made the deliberate design decision to use a large number of elements that readers might be familiar with - parallels to Real World history, societies and cultures, as well as common tropes (even cliches) of fantasy and other fiction (including gaming in general and D&D in particular). The reason for this was that Urbis has some fairly strange and unusual concepts at its core for a D&D setting - its culture is based on 19th century Europe instead of the usual medieval paradigm, it has extremely large city-states (sometimes with populations ranging into the millions of people), limited mass production of magic items is possible, and so forth. Thus, anything that players are likely to be familiar with will also make it easier for them to understand and "get into" the setting. And recently, I found a brilliant resource for this which I really wish I had found earlier - the [URL=http://tvtropes.org/]TV Tropes Wiki[/URL]. Despite its name, it has gathered common tropes not just from television, but also movies, novels, comics and other kinds of fiction and dissected them and listed a large number of examples. This is perfect for my purposes, as readers will immediately understand them when they are found in the wiki - or, if they are subverted, serve to make the setting more unique and interesting while still being recognizeable. I have spend some time gathering a list of interesting tropes which I plan to add to the setting (some of them already exist within the setting - in this case, I will try to find [i]new[/i] ways of using them.
