[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9646969, member: 27385"] I found that fantast Europe is what I grew up with as far as tales of knights and heroes, so copying that to a game world is normal and easier to have everyone at the table know what you are talking about. My gaming friends and circle growing up were all about the same culturally, so playing other fantasy never really worked out except to provide something more strange and exotic of a location to visit for a while. The other thing I noticed over the last few years more than in the past is that people attack a creator for not having the 'right' stuff to create something that resembles another location based on an old Earth culture/place. I have a European background, but am an American. I would still have holes poked into my game world if I based things on the American Indian culture, even if I know as much about them as I do about medieval England or France where my family history lies.
