I run my C&C campaigns in Shannara, Magnamund, and Diablo. I am designing a home-brew campaign world called Tera now.

I would certainly like to vote for this one, though I can't since I'm currently not running it. With the eventual release of Of Gods & Monsters, I plan on using the Norse deity descriptions and abilites for clerics in a Eastmark campaign.

That's exactly what I'm doing- I'm using the Norse pantheon from OG&M (with some additions from that same pantheon as presented in L&L and D&DG) alongside the Dwarven, Elven, Gnomish, and Halfling pantheons. I've even added a touch of the Celtic pantheon as a lingering presence of the Cnobrii and Wycce tribes that used to live in the East Mark. Not far in yet, but it's working well so far.

Absolutely stellar! A great idea that you can consider stolen for any future EM games that I may run.

None. It would not classify as a "world" since it is but a single section of a map, and the map is not even drawn, nor are the names known, or the occupants... basically, as the players play, I fill in the details as needed, s we explore together. I guess that could be called a homebrew, but since it is not developed, or even the same from campaign to campaign, I do not consider it a "world."

QFT. My campaign is currently located in a single valley - albeit a pretty large one - that I drew up myself. I have freely plundered mods and bits of mods from lots of published settings to incorporate into the homebrew (bits of Greyhawk, like Hommelet; bits of Airde, like Kruggle; various other stuff). I don't know yet whether I will continue to develop my own imaginary world or decide to drop this valley into a published larger setting. if the latter, it will undoubtedly be a (heavily-)modified Wilderlands. For the moment I'm content with narrow horizons.

aihrde

Post by Arazmus »

I use Aihrde, but I populated and politicked it myself...I didn't have access to much Aihrde material. I work in what I can and I have done a lot with Unklar/s defeat. The elves were almost wiped out and are only now (72 years later) re-emerging.

Also has anyone looked at the scale of Aihrde, it's Friggin HUGE. PCs would spend a lot of time going anywhere and the Cradle of Civilization area some of the modules are set in would be a climatalogical nightmare.

I use Aldraazar from Hackmaster, (one of the gm perserves to be exact) this makes it more home brewed, but technicaly a published setting.

I've been using the same world setting since 1981, and converted it to C&C a few years ago....pride prompted me to vote for a published "other" setting since I published the main book to the setting on lulu, but to be honest it's definitely "homebrew!"

I commend you. I was never that committed to my own creation. I have my original campaign material (from 86) but I have never been able to keep myself in it, going to Greyhawk (and FR) for years at a time.

I used Eastmark for my last (and perhaps my next)campaign, only had a vague outline of the world outside that small region. Planned on borrowing ideas from most of the list and from Blackmoor and Wilderlands as well.

I would like to run and/or playin a Wilderlands of High Fantasy campaign again someday, either using CnC or an older version of D&D.

C&C campaign using either pre-WotI Mystara (with no WotI ever happening)

If I ever end up running a one-shot or demo C&C game, that's exactly what I'd do (winging it from the map in X1 and in the Cook/Marsh X book.

I have a homebrew for campaign purposes, heavily flavored with Necromancer Games' various modules (especially Bard's Gate).

That was a hard one, because I am all over the place, setting-wise. Until recent months, I have almost always had a homebrew world, but have really connected with the Airhde setting. I think it will be my main CnC setting for some time.

I do like the Yggsburg setting too, and may be placing that in Kayomar somewhere.

I never really thought of the Haunted Highlands as a total setting. It seemed more like a chunka you could use to add to another setting as you needed. Which, is pretty much what we did for our first campaign which used HH places in an overall Known World (BECMI default) setting.

Yeah, HH is in my world as a part of Airhde, a few hundred miles to the west and north of Botkinburg.
