Girl Genius and boning up on
D&D 4th Edition, I've started working on a campaign setting.
The setting is Asia Minor and the Greek Islands.
( It's all Greek to me. )Obviously, I'm stealing from classical period Greece (and happily scrambling dates, having the Persians win, etc. etc..) for the setting. I'm not going much beyond that, except for flavor items to make it clear that we're not in a Tolkeinesque Western Europe. I like the island setting because it discourages plate armor (glug) and, well, I like pirates, even pseudo-Classical Greek pirates.
One of themes I'm going to follow is the return of the old gods. Playing a cleric might be a very interesting path in this game.
This will be a game of exploration, mysteries, a few dungeon crawls, and puzzles.
Suggestions? Comments? Cold hard cash?
