[QUOTE="Leviatham, post: 6071835, member: 50740"] I must admit I don't care too much if the game feels "american" or not. For me is just the game's flavour. I do like, though, when the setting is congruent. For example, if you're going to have a Victorian London based setting, don't make it sound like it's 1850's New York. If you have to describe an European farm, don't use American buildings. When I backed Outlive Outdead, I had the chance to help design the adventure that came in the book by providing names of characters and locations of both locales and cities. The adventure is terrific and very good fun to run (I like Zombies a lot, so it could hardly go wrong for me) but I found it hilarious to see my local "shopping centre" converted into a "shopping mall" not just by name, but also by organisation. The same goes for the cities... they were the right names, but nowhere near the right locations. It was funny. Other than that, I wouldn't want people to feel they have to change what they like and like to write about just to appease me, to be honest. Would it be nice to have settings that include other parts of the world outside the USA? Sure. Does it bother me? Nop! [/QUOTE]
