This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's the single best thing about Greyhawk?

Mixing real world medieval cultures with the frames described in the sourcebooks could make for an amazing setting, agreed. Breton Five Shires for the win!

Much appreciated. :hatsoff:

For some reason I can't get the images myself, so if anyone else's having trouble, you might want to check out the original RPGnet post.

Right. As of right fucking now, due to executive fiat, Imageshack is forbidden on theRPGsite.

They're fucking  cunts.  What the FUCK is the FUCKING POINT of having an "image hosting site" that won't show your image to half the users of the internet?!!

Quote from: RPGPundit;452699That's true, and I suppose you could select a particular chunk of earth's modern map (say, the southeast corner of the united states) and it would look "blocky".

What I used to do was trace part of the outline of one country or state or continent from an atlas, then a piece from another body and so on. I ended up with a natural-looking coastline/river/mountain range that no one recognised.

I like Greyhawk for the reasons mentioned earlier. The setting has all the heroes and villains that were name-dropped in the DMG and other books. It also allows for mid to high-level PCs to make a real difference. In one Greyhawk campaign, our PCs set themselves up as lords of the Bone March after fighting a campaign against the monsters inhabiting the state. This is doable for name-level PCs in Greyhawk because the setting is in a state of chaos, but not all-out world war.
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

I could see that working, if you do it properly.  The other thing that works is to change scale.  Our minds are remarkable on how they view scale.

Very much so. For one island country (about the size and overall shape of Sicily) I used a piece of the North Carolina coast for the east side, a section of the Falklands for the north coast, and a piece of Greenland for the west. Not only did it look "real" but more importantly, natural.

As it turns out, yes. Imageshack has apparently decided that users in a list of mostly non-western countries aren't worth being allowed to see their images.

So, fuck them.

And as for me, I'm becoming more half the internet every day.
