Because I like history and I seem to have ever changing players, we simply use the "real world" as it was in about 900 AD less Rome and Christianity taking over and all those various cultural ancient religions, beliefs, and superstitions as all being "real"... if you think of the English Country side as being "Middle Earth" then you're pretty close to the right global setting, just expand it to the greater world and their unique cultures. Tons of real history and myths to base things on. No need to learn (or buy) whole or partial worlds, most folks seem to have some level of knowledge or interest in at least one culture so that helps too.

So if you want to play an Elven Archer from the Celtic Lands, a Druid who happens to be a Gnome from Finland riding a reindeer, a Viking from Normandy (Dwarven), a Japanese Samurai (human), a 1/2 Orc Paladin devoted to Anubis, a professional gambler/messenger/priest of Hermes (1/2 elf) or even a Hobbit Shaolin Monk,... I try to figure it all out and make it work.

Plus the old Gods book write up works fine with so much

Now that's I've skimmed the posts, I'm with Treebore, but I thought everyone did that.. each area is its own "world" its own gods..

There is historic precedent for that anyway. That was the beauty of polytheism, they had many gods so accepting many gods the country over allowed that, go to foreign land, pay attention to their gods, the Greeks knew that by city-state.. so, Treebore is just following history, just with fantasy world bumped next to each other.. I throw some of that in if somehow I have it, but I'm too busy to read and understand each world right now to stick them into "the world", but it would be easy, there is way too much space in the wide oceans not to add another continent or two or a "magic portal" always works... don't the physicists currently believe in multiverse these days, Treebore is way ahead of his time...

Give me the PH and M&T and I can have a Forgotten Realms game for you in about 20 minutes. Might be able to do Dragonlance, but I won't be nearly as proficient at the world.

By Heironeous, we need another voter to even the score. If only we had the Crook of Rao to stem the Toril tide.
