[QUOTE="weem, post: 4246843, member: 9470"] In all the campaigns I have previously run, I have used the Mystara setting (with the exception of Forgotten Realms one short time). Mystara is where I started long ago and I just stayed there. With 4th edition coming however, I have been thinking about making a switch to either Forgotten Realms, or the default Points of Light light setting. We will be starting the campaign around mid June (probably the first week after the core books are released, with the release weekend being used for character creation, etc). It would be nice to know by release time where the campaign will be set. Depending on the amount of information included in the core set for the PoL setting (in other words if there is a bunch) I may stick to it. Otherwise, I may feel inclined to move it elsewhere. In all likelihood, I will use the default setting (town of Fallcrest initially) for those first X number of sessions and then, perhaps when the Forgotten Realms books start coming out, I could make a decision at that point - by then we will have, more than likely, only run a few games or so. So my question is, if you are starting a new campaign for 4e (aka, not converting a previous campaign and thus sticking with the same setting) what do you intend on doing as far as setting goes? Are you going to stick with a setting you use most often or will you use this opportunity to try something new? Maybe you will, like me, use the default setting during those early stages and then "pan out" to something else? I was in an IRC earlier and someone mentioned liking the general idea of the PoL setting as it left things wide open for development by not only the DM, but the players as well - it's easily molded in other words. This is a bonus for using that setting over another. I'm curious to hear about what your specific plans are. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
