Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cadence" data-source="post: 9150463" data-attributes="member: 6701124">"Default setting" is a bit of a sliding scale.   Clearly having "names for countries and gods and kings [...] you are expected to use" seems like a default setting to me.  But even more general things, like assuming things in the PHB are tied to a certain planar structure (elemental chaos, big wheel, feywild, far realms, Sigil), seems like it ties the hands some.  I think the assumptions about giants and other things in 4e (iirc) put me off quite a bit at first.I really like the way a lot of the 5e books have had a box to the side that mentions alternatives that were happening in other worlds.   Simply starting the race and class descriptions with "In many worlds..." and then giving those alternatives in the side box would make me very happy.</blockquote>
