[QUOTE="Timeboxer, post: 4433028, member: 21471"] I've been running in Greyhawk -- I transplanted Keep on the Shadowfell to Veluna, which has been very interesting because I've been suggesting that the theocracy isn't actually as benevolent as it appears. Keep in mind that I'm kind of newish to Greyhawk, but the setting has a strange appeal that I've always been fascinated with. As a result, though, I tend to play kind of fast and loose. In terms of Dragonborn: I just said that they come from "the West." In my campaign, Dragonborn and worship of Bahamut are generally unknown in the Flanaess, but there has been a small amount of contact; the Dragonborn in my campaign is on a mission that entails going to the East. People are somewhat freaked out by him. As for cosmology, I [i]love[/i] Planescape, so I'm keeping the Great Wheel, but I'm also using the new cosmology simultaneously. Conceptually the way I'm interpreting it is that both of those are models proposed by the sages/Guvners/etc. which are considered somewhat similar to our model of the atom: Everyone knows the model is clearly not actually [i]true[/i], but it's true enough to be useful. Similarly, each cosmology is just one way of interpreting the fundamental unknowables of the multiverse in a useful way (e.g. for transport purposes, ideological mapping purposes, etc.) My players out: [sblock]I'm also planing to run Expedition to Castle Greyhawk at some point, but I don't have any immediate ideas on how to convert it or what an appropriate level to run it would be. I gave it a read, though, and it looks [i]really[/i] good, so I'm pretty psyched about the idea of running it.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
