I think I'm starting to get where Scarred Lands is coming from. Still not sure what you guys mean when you mention Gods vs. Titans. But I think I can fill in the blanks.Okay, so maybe I'll give this setting a shot. Where do you start? Is there an over-all world book? Like the way Forgotten Realms has one? And then they go into area specific books? Which book is the core book? Or the first book?Wayside wrote: I don't mind authors basing core concepts of their dieties on established dieties from Earth religions. But my tastes (and I know its a personal thing) tend to not like my fantasy settings that include "our Earth" in it. Unless.....unless that's the main core concept behind the over all storyline. Like I guess, "Nine Princes in Amber" or "Guardians of the Flame" series. That's okay. Because that's the established setting that's woven into the main storyline.But with fantasy gaming (most of the time). I want the setting to having nothing to do with our reality. It is a setting that has its own plane of existence/dimension/universe. Nothing where our own real world folklore, myths, or religions cross over. I don't want to meet Hercules, Buddha, Thor, or Horus. Know what I mean? Basically, I find it feeling like a cheezy cameo. If your story is about dimension hopping. Then okay. But its like I'm reading FR and its all about Faerun. But then there's this little bit about how our Earth's Eygptian gods went over there. Hinting that our world is one of many planes of existence. And it may be possible for Genghis Khan to ride his army through a portal into Waterdeep.Don't get me wrong. That can be cool too. If that's the kind of flavor you want in your fantasy. Me? This time, I just wanted a plain old fantasy realm that stood on its own. In its own unverse. That was what I was in the mood for. I thought that was what FR was. I didn't know FR was multi-dimensional. Reminded a tiny bit of that whole run of issues in the "Excalibur" comic book from Marvel. I think that was like #1-#50 or there abouts. Anyways, sorry to get side tracked. Please. Continue to keep talking about SL.
