[QUOTE="Blade of Desecration, post: 2203904, member: 27325"] Alright, I was thinking along the lines of a whole lot of islands clustered together. My thoughts were that they could be so close together that if it weren't for the deep trenches separtaing them, they would be a continent. Some could be far enough apart that you would need too take a ship to reach them, some of them close enough that you could just swim over from one to the other. The islands cuold also be of varying size, some big enough for whole countries, some small enough that they only have enough room for a single shack. As a result, much of the magic in the world could involve transport over large stretches of water. Also, I think that an entire campaign setting made up of hundreds or thousands of islands would be somewhat unique. You could have island fortresses and lairs. Military stress would be naval rather than infantry. Then think about the campaigns you could do. Because of the theoretically limitless number of islands, there is an incredible potential for making entire stories based off of trying to actually find the island the BBEG is on. Also, think about the fact that no only can you have dungeons on the islands, but also in the canals separating them. Imagin how many interesting underwater battles you could have. And the mythology or history could have something to do with the reason they are islands. Perhaps, in one culture's mythology, this used to be a great continent of mountains, but some deity or higher power became so POed at the humans, that they sunk the continent, only leaving the mountain tops above the water. Just my 2 cents (well, it was a long post, so I guess it could be more). [/QUOTE]
