Last year I decided to run in Chult, a short three session quest and it was a blast. I wanted it to feel different and memorable to my players so I leaned heavy into what made Chult different and unique. It was a bit after this quest I realized I should be picking a region by the type of story I'm looking to tell. I started compiling a list of regions and themes. Thought I would share as I go, get feedback, and maybe posting will encourage me to finish compiling it. Regions: Anauroch [list][*]Land of Extremes (brutal heat & cold, sand storms & oases, nomadic honor & punishment)[/*][*]Ancient Buried Evils & Magics[/*][*] Desolation (a sad lonely land of survival, a ghost of what was)[/*][/list] The Border Kingdoms [list][*]Constant Change (short lived borders, "rulers", settlements, and wild magic outbreaks)[/*][*]Might & Magic (mercenary armies, wizard warlords, adventurers)[/*][*]A Bountiful Haven (a beautiful hide away for those on the run)[/*][/list] Chult [list][*]Darkest Jungle Exploration (inaccessibility, disease, rain, lost ancient civilizations)[/*][*]Exotic Native Cultures (metal scarcity, limited pantheon, fiend worship)[/*][*]Exotic Flora & Fauna (dinosaurs, giant bugs, slimes)[/*][/list] The Cold Lands: -Damara -Narfell -Vaasa -Sossal Cormyr The Dalelands The Dragon Coast The Hordelands Impiltur The Island Kingdoms: -Evermeet -Lantan -Moonshae Isles -Nelanther Isles -Nimbral The Lake of Steam The Lands of Intrigue: -Amn -Calimshan -Tethyr The Moonsea: -The Ride The North: -The High Forest -Icewind Dale -The Savage Frontier -Silver Marches -The Sword Coast North -Waterdeep The Old Empires: -Chessenta -Mulhorand -Unther -Murghôm -Semphar The Pirate Isles Sembia The Shining South: -Dambrath -Durpar -Estagund -The Great Rift -Halruaa -Luiren -Rethild -Shaar -The Shining Lands -Var the Golden -Veldorn The Unapproachable East: -Aglarond -The Great Dales -Impiltur -Rashemen -Thay -Thesk The Serpent Kingdoms: -Hlondeth -Lapaliiya -Samarach -Thindol -Tashalar The Underdark The Vilhon Reach: -Chondath -Sespech -Turmish The Western Heartlands: -Baldur's Gate -Evereska -The Sword Coast [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
