[QUOTE="Mantriel, post: 5867098, member: 76902"] I would like to see a low fantasy, high realism setting. (Something like Kingdoms of kalamar). 1. [B]Magic and magic items are scarce.[/B] If a warrior/paladin type character gets a full set of armor it is a big accomplishment in itself. The same is true for a wizard getting a magic staff, or for a ranger getting an animal companion. 2. [B]Economy is a real issue.[/B] I don't wish to complicate the numbers or to make money administration a burden. I just wish players would use copper coins for the first few levels, and once they are paid in silver they are already higher lvl adventurers, with fame and glory. 3. [B]Diplomacy and intrigue is the motivator behind most schemes. [/B]And the PC's are manipulated (or recruited) to work for one side or another. 4. Humans are the common race, every other race is mystical and "foreign". Each race has many countries and kingdoms, each with its own agenda, nation and customs. Make the world worth to be explored. 5. Monsters are scarce. If the PC's want to go for a monster hunt, they have to leave civilization and go for an expedition. Ofc there are sometimes some wild animals loose, but there are not kobolds or goblins in every bush. 6. If the PC's reach high lvls, (lvl 20, 30 etc) they are still only a group of PC's. they can be framed, captured or killed. An organisation with hundreds of members can afford to eliminate a few high lvls. No one can gain godhood just because he slayed a bunch of orcs over-and-over again. [/QUOTE]
