The players just start out zoomed-in to a particular area.What nonsense! Most of the laws of physics developed in history have been developed by cultures that believed in magic, in part to explain magic.In terms of magic, look at the rules. In terms of things generally, see my post on world design.Right. But the ways in which cultures are different and similar to one another is entailed by one's worldview. Given that fantasy worlds are premised on different worldviews than this one, each fantasy world should have a different set of general versus specific truths be they cultural, physical or whatever.You have never played in a fantasy world premised on different cultural universals than the one in which we live? I gathered that. But surely you could imagine one. For instance, imagine a world in which the Babel theory was true, or one in which the theory of the antedeluvian heliolithic culture was true.Well, I'm no expert on fantasy and don't read much of it because of this very lack. But obviously Tolkien leaps immediately to mind.</p></blockquote><p></p>
