    Default Setting question

    Where does your setting take place? FR? Dark Sun? Eberron? Nentir Vale?

    What resources do you use to live in your setting?
    Yeah... well... now his body's fine, but his mind is gone.

    I homebrew all of mine. I make things up on the fly mostly. I draw from archetypes, and try to invert them. Try to inject some humor. That super powerful necromancer you just fought, was a gnome on stilts.

    Homebrewed. I get a concept (WWI in a high fantasy world transitioning into steampunk! Zombie Apocalypse in a desertpunk world! Western in a magicpunk world!) and just run with it throughout the game. All have a serious side, an awesome side, and an hilarious side ("What are you carrying in that coffin?" "My mother-in-law." "Carry on.")

    3rd party world chassis (War of the Burning Sky) with a healthy dose of homebrew.

    I'm unfamiliar with these. Who publishes these resources and where do you think I could find them?

    It's a 3rd party Campaign thingy. A lot of 3rd party things can be found on DrivethruRPG if you have the patience to dig through their wonky filters.

    As for your OP, I also do homebrew, my mega project as of late is an Archipelago High Fantasy land with a dash of Steampunk. The Crystal Isles.

    I've made it so it can be extremely flexible due to the native population being split into 5 tribes each with their own primary skill/profession.
