[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 2895601, member: 990"] I think the Kalamar books are wonderfully inspirational. Though I've never run a campaign in the setting, my home brews always seem to have Kalamar influences in them. I particularly love the half-hobgoblins, the well developed human cultures, the idea of enslaved dwarves and of course the atlas. Many of the published adventures are set in the Renaria bay area, and oddly that's the part of the world that interests me least. I have a bunch of notes for a campaign I was thinking of running in the Lake Jorak region, but which never came to fruition. These days I'm in love with the Wilderlands, but honestly I can imagine cobbling parts of Kalamar onto that setting. I haven't looked at the Kalamar books for maybe two years, but this thread has got me thinking about combining the two. I think the setting has a lot to offer the right DM & players. However, many people these days seem to have fallen for the kitchen sink approach of Eberron, so that might be why Kalamar is perceived as boring. In a nutshell, if you like Eberron, you won't like Kalamar. If Eberron leaves you cold, then Kalamar might be the setting of your dreams. [/QUOTE]
