[QUOTE="Turjan, post: 1877007, member: 3477"] Oh, I know the general atmosphere of the city, because I have the Player's Guide to the Wilderlands, and there's definitely no need to cut the setting out, because I like it :). Personally, I'd just like to get rid of some real world references (god names and the like). I'm just waiting for USPS to stop sitting on my copy :D. CSIO stands short for "City State of the Invincible Overlord". It's the most developed part of one of the oldest settings ever done for D&D, that's the Wilderlands by Judges Guild (redone by Necromancer Games). The city supplement is renowned to be one of the best ever done; I can tell you whether this is true as soon as it will finally arrive at my doorsteps. Arcanis is a setting by Paradigm Concepts. It's a fully fleshed out setting with remnants of a "Roman Empire", an oppressive religious state and lots of other, rather diverse regions to play. It's connected to a "Living Campaign", similar to Greyhawk, and seems to be alive and kicking ;). Edit: You asked for links :D. It's funny that the best description of CSIO is on the White Wolf order page [url=http://secure1.white-wolf.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=41&products_id=531]here[/url] and not on the [url=http://www.judgesguild.com/products.html]Judges Guild Page[/url] :D. As far as Arcanis is concerned, try [url=http://www.paradigmconcepts.com/home/index.php]this link[/url]. The website is terrible, btw. I can't tell you much more about Arcanis, because it did not really click with me. [/QUOTE]
