[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7443345, member: 5100"] Sounds cool, to me. Oh, and don't worry about Tony Vargas -- I started GMing pretty much immediately, too. The down side is that, after 35 years, I'm still the standing GM. The up side is that I've had a lot of practice and fun. I have no idea what your age is, but I can tell you that the ideas of middle school and high school don't carry forward well. Even as an adult, understand that you'll probably regret (or heavily ret-con) your first setting. Don't worry about it. As long as the group is having fun, it's all good. I think the setting pitch sounds pretty fun, myself. It's horribly unrealistic, as others have pointed out. I wouldn't worry about that, though. My current home brew setting is a bunch of land masses floating in the air. If you fall off the edge of one, you'll literally fall to Hell, at least according to universal lore (dwarves are very careful and slightly crazy). Great seas flow off the edges because they're fed from elemental water. Don't ask too many questions. In your case, all you need as an answer is something along the lines of a magical Van Allen belt that mitigates the Mercury-like effects of being tidal locked to the sun (maybe someone managed to get off a [I]wish[/I] to the effect of "I wish this wouldn't kill all life on the planet" and *poof*).
