Message: <blockquote data-quote="Man in the Funny Hat" data-source="post: 3303243" data-attributes="member: 32740">Includes the core races by default (except possibly for gnomes - I never could get the point of gnomes).Has much unexplored territory and DM's are informed - dependably - what areas will NEVER EVER be further detailed in future expansions, possibly never even referred to.  Genuine terra incognita that is left for individual campaign uses.Will NEVER EVER require knowledge of or ownership of even one expansion product to run ANY adventure ever officially produced for it unless that adventure includes any needed additional crunch.Is geared to be a world where PC's can and WILL outshine NPC's eventually.  What I mean by that is no NPC's positioned to be Mary Sue's, a deus ex machina, or Casey Jones for the DM.Really great maps, covering at least one continent and including a full variety of earthly terrains and at least one sizeable ocean or sea.Does not have 10,000 years of history carved in stone, again for purposes of customizing history to fit random, unfolding events in an ongoing campaign.Does not assume that long-established stereotypes have to be upheld as regards the races and associated political entities, but also does not feel that those stereotypes need to be dumped in the crapper just for the sake of change.And yet, there has to be elements about it that make me want to run THAT setting over just making it up myself, and that's something I'm not sure I can really define.  I'll just know it when I see it.</blockquote>
