[QUOTE="takasi, post: 3124756, member: 20194"] In addition to a monthly Eberron game, I've decided to run a bi-weekly game set in a homebrew setting of my own design. (As an aside, the game is 3.5 core only. 4d6 drop the lowest. Stats are rolled per ability, no reassignment allowed. I'm going for a Hackmaster feel without resorting to actually using Hackmaster. Highly freeform meatgrinder with lots of opportunity for infighting. This is with a completely different group than my first group and I'm running this because it's the exact OPPOSITE of what I normally run.) On to the topic of this post. I live in Northern California and I'm thinking of building my homebrew world as a fantasy bizzarro land of our home. Counties will be kingdoms and city and town limits will be fiefs. Has anyone done anything like this? Anything you can recommend? Does anyone have any input on what a fantasy world would like like if it took place in California? I want travel to take longer, so I'm thinking of increasing the size 5 to 10 times. I want a journey from the Bay Area to LA to take months instead of weeks. Any suggestions? Although I'm going for a somewhat goofy campaign, do you think this is a little over the top? Would you play in a campaign where there is a King of Sacramento (who looks a lot like Conan)? [/QUOTE]
