[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 3234029, member: 232"] It is the best Campaign setting out there. Yes, from first ed to second and now in third. I even played using basic D&D and we tried using TRaveler though that wasn't as good. Role master was interesting though. The new Thieves World books are varianty from the PHB. The classes can be different, magic is very different. There are variant rules for their variant rules though if that is what you are talking about. 99.99% of what you will encounter are humans. In the short stories it does talk a bit about a few non human races, but they are super rare. THe humaniod races though are very well defined and so it doesn't feel like everyone is playing just a human. THe culture and backgrouns for each character make a big difference. Magic is there and kind of rare. It is really hard to master. It can be seen as more commonplace then it really is. For instance I frequantly have people selling magical items that are not relaly magical. So, NPCs and even PCs can believe that there is moire magic around because of these con men. However a true master of magic is someone to be greatly feared!! :D I hear that there is a new one in the set of combined books they are selling, but I haven't seen that. Green Ronin does have new generic modules and I had heard there would be web support to make them work for TW but I haven't seen that done yet (not that I've really been looking). [/QUOTE]
