[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3124886, member: 35678"] Well, my homebrew is vaguely inspired by Europe (there are a few big changes, like a huge inland sea which basically seperartes the east from the occidental are in my campaign, of which the southern portions are know for the bold "chinese" pirates :]) so I can see where you are omcing from. However, I see nothing wrong with this idea which you have :) Personally, I am a fan of the [i]Grand Theft Auto[/i] games, of which the most recent one is San Andreas, which is inspired by California and Nevada. I thinkk it's be cool to have the mountanous region of Cali and then the desert wastelands of Nevada beside it. Personally, I'd use differnet names for everything, and also I wouldn't clue in the players, just to see if they 'get' it :) I woudl also either feature this as an island or as a peninsula of a larger contient which isn't easily naviagted to. Keep it different (maybe that desert would be a good land barrier?). You'd have Vale elfs, which live secluded lives in the deep and lush valleys. Forest and Mountain giants would be common, as would Ents and the like. Dwarves might no be so prominent, and maybe only in the northern half of the mountains. Orcs could occuy the southern half. Halflings live whereever it's flat and comefortable, and humans: pretty much everywhere. Maybe you should consider buying Stormwrack, since the ocean is really close and I could see Hadozee's and Darfellans abounding. Also, Sea elves might be prominent :) Naw, this is pretty safe compared to say [i]Dark Sun[/i] :D Sure; although I do suggest choosing some different names for everything, but keeping their geographic locations the same. cheers (and good luck!) --N [/QUOTE]
