Pyat is a progressive gamer

In happier news, I'm starting an AD&D game with the players from my Serenity RPG. Mainly because I have a wealth of material for it, and I don't feel like converting to 3.0 or 3.5. I like 3.0 and 3.5 well enough. 4e I've not played. I own the 4e Player's Handbook and find it terribly unengaging, though I am quite willing to play it someday. Just not, you know, today.

Setting will be Greyhawk, and I'm going to start with one of those 2nd edition Fast Play adventures they sold in magazine format in the late 90s.

Oh,hey, Nippon. I didn't see that there. To expand on what I was saying earlier, the only detailed land in the core setting is "The Flanaess." Googling now, I find these continent names (aside from the The Flanaess) are actually from Frank Mentzer's own campaign.

So.. um. Ignore those bits?

*giggles* The Flanaess is definately the most detailed part of the map, but even that isn't really detailed enough to know the diversity of biomes or the nations within that region and their cultures. But thanks for all your troubles, and sorry about your car in the dreamworld. I'm pretty sure it dodged all the trees.

As I said, "Europe and the Middle East." For more detailed information (and there are dozens of cultures and kingdoms in that section), refer to your local Internet.

It even contains "The Empire of Iuz," a sort of Mordor-type "Land of Darkness."
