[QUOTE="breschau, post: 4097740, member: 52376"] Nice thread. I'm going to go real old school. I've got a list of random names I'll use for places. Another list for NPC names. I'm going to use the points of light setting as an excuse to roll up the map as we go, creating the world as it comes. I know I'll want the points of light idea of ancient civilizations, and a lot of exploring of ruins, but it's all up to the dice. I'll use Keep as the starter and branch out from there. Once the books come out the players can reroll or mod the characters if they like. I really like Al-Qadim and Dark Sun, so I'll likely throw in a few bits from each. I love the Aztec feel of the city-states, that fits in great with the "corrupt humans" described ever so briefly in the Races and Classes book. So there will definitely be an ancient city-state of corrupt humans with mass sacrifices for the power of the king. Templars running the place and such. And I'll throw in the city of the undead from so many sources. Ancient ruins that appear empty during the day, but various undead come out at night, hopefully when the party is resting and dividing the loot they find. Don't want to throw out too much but you get the idea. [/QUOTE]
