[QUOTE="Drakmar, post: 1786793, member: 1318"] hmm. see I went and designed a campaign world myself. Because I have trouble understanding most of the worlds.. Dragonlance (old style) I mostly got. I understood the context of it. My campaign world I went.. hmmm.. I want heros.. heros need enemies. what have all my other dms used. Undead.. scratch them. demons. scratch them... drow bah.. too common. bad humans.. yeah.. little bit of that for the "non-evil" foes. orcs.. hmm. think on that. Yuan-ti.. yeah... I will use them. so... I then needed a swamp. and a reason for a town to be in it. and a reason for the yuan-ti to want it. so now I have an egyptian based culture that has the Yuan-ti trying to return to their homeland where their god was killed (before it was reborn elsewhere) in a swamp.. And in the swamp are some towns of a Roman style human culture that are "mining" and icky black substance the bubbles up in this swamp (and only this swamp) that makes greek fire that they use against a ocean going race and in the constant war to the north with the Celtic giant races and in the wars against the mongolian horde orcs. And I even built a creation myth... and I now have motivations and culture for each of the races.. and the various people in them. [/QUOTE]
