[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9546878, member: 11760"] Arcana Unearthed/Evolved has a strange relationship to Ptolus, in my mind, as there are a number of naming conventions that are the same -- the "quickling faen" and "loresong faen" names first showed up in Ptolus -- and the idea that there is a big kingdom of the giants in the west where they warred with dragons feels very much like the setting of AU/AE, and litorians have a presence in both places. But then a ton of the details -- especially about the faen -- are different. It's obviously just Monte's ideas evolving over time, but I like to pull inspiration from AE (without owning it, just from reading about it) into my version of Praemal and Ptolus as legends. (Also, Monte, if you're reading this: Consider a fan publishing license, similar to what White Wolf, WotC and others do. There's a lot of Ptolus DMs out there with a lot of accumulated material to share. I've done a ton with the Prustan Peninsula and the borderlands of Kem, for instance.) [/QUOTE]
