What's the general tone of peeps stuff so far(don't feel like doing any resurch) Funny? Tech? genre?, and then I'll start one!
Anything you want.
Just pick a realm (thread) from the
Aerth sub-forum, and, start posting anything you want.
Note that some realms haven't got a thread yet. If you are curious, the compleat list of realms is to be found in the
Aerth: Character Generation thread.
(The exceptions would be continent threads, like Vargaard && Amazonia && Magmur. While you can't rule over an entire continent, nothing prevents you from setting up a 'dominion', as per
(A)D&D!)
With 380 posts... you are a Lord (Companion) of Presposia... fast on your way to becoming a King!
General tone: Fantasy,
(Advanced) Dungeons && Dragons, Imagination, Anything.
Aerth is basically Fantasy Earth, up to the 17th century.
The equivalents of N. America (Vargaard), S. America (Amazonia), Africa (Afrik), and Magmur (Australia) are basically frontiers, though some colonies have been set up.
Yes, Aerth presents a situation analogous to the beginning of the Colonial era, but in a polytheistic world (as per Deities && Demigods, basically).
Note that I have added the Abrahamic religions in three separate realms, though their influence has not spread beyond those realms, yet.
Also, note: this is not the official Aerth, as presented by Gary Gygax, but, an alternate Aerth, following the advice given on page 222 of
Epic of Aerth, the book on which this campaign is based.
Research: No research required, though one can, if one wants. My own philosophy is that it is better to base a realm on imagination, than on research.
The easiest way to put it:
IF you could be a Lord in one place on Earth, where would it be?If you choose a realm, i will provide details, any of which you can veto.
Consider your realm your own mini-campaign setting: everything is up to you!
Have fun,
Prespos
