Vote Up a Campaign Setting (3E/4E)

[Thane of Fife]

It definetely won't be a remake of Al-Qadim. We've been conferencing about that. Not to mention you folks killed the Fate theme, which was pre-eminent in Al-Qadim.

While I shall certainly be examining that material for useful information, our finished product will play much differently.

I'm thinking it may turn out vaguely Pirates of Dark Water -esque.

[afroakuma]

Only if they have Djinn, Ghuls and not-dark water.

[starwoof]

Only if they have Djinn, Ghuls and not-dark water.

Or if you include monkey-birds.

Eh? EH?

[afroakuma]

Monkey-birds? I'm sure I haven't the slightest idea what you're referring to.

[starwoof]

There was a character in PoDW that was a monkey that was also a bird.

[afroakuma]

I think I can certify that there will be none of those in the setting.

[starwoof]

I want to be disappointed but I know that that's a good thing.

[Glenstorm]

One God please

[vegetalss4]

triumvate

Memmories from morrowind kick in

[Lyndworm]

My vote goes to Infinite Gods. I love the idea of everything containing a spark of divine energy. If the spark is nurtured correctly, a being can become extremely powerful. As the universe is so old, there are literally thousands of true gods around.

[afroakuma]

Just to heighten anticipation: The next vote is one one my favorite ones. It's the first chance in quite some time to determine real setting flavor.

[Zeta Kai]

Well, all current votes are tallied. This poll will close sometime in the next 4 hours.

[Saint Nil]

One God please, my good sir.

[Drakefall]

I would like to change my vote to infinite gods please. If only because one god seems to be winning and that is possibly my least favourite option. Yes, it is very petty... but... well just meh.

[Frog Dragon]

Infinite Gods says I.

I had to search through the previous two pages of votes to find what your original vote was, so that it could be changed. This is a violation of Rule #5. Next time, tell us what you originally voted for, for everyone's convenience.

All votes are currently tallied.

[Lappy9000]

Monotheism for the win! (That's One Deity, just in case ya don't know)

[Ghill]

Just to put in my two cents, Pantheon.

Ummm, actually, Infinite Gods sounds good. Ahem, all hail Zubbbuhsallunchestetixrikq, lord of obnoxious (or drow) names!

[Satyr]

Can you please change my vote to Monotheism?
Nonsense. Ignore what I wrote here.

[AgentPaper]

No Gods. I would very like to see a setting without any gods. Just because it would be an exception to the general presentation of fantasy with the almost standardized Pantheon and something that is more exclusive (meaning not as overused) and therefore it can establish a more innovative and interesting distinguishment to the fantasy setting uniformity.

There's his original vote.

Seriously, he just told someone not to do this 3 posts ago.

[Satyr]

Yeah, sometimes I am too distracted to read everything around me... Just ignore the momotheism part.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Monotheism for me, good sir.

Though I agree with, er, some other guy in this thread. It would be neat to have one god that has many different aspects.

[afroakuma]

Look up Shekinester, the goddess of the nagas.

[Zeta Kai]

The votes are in, & the winning Religion (by a nose) is One Single God!

So next, I need you guys (& girls) to vote on the setting’s Cosmology. Votes will be tallied regularly. As always, please only vote for 1 cosmology type, & please peruse the voting rules. Thank you for voting.

Cosmology

{table=head]Cosmology
One Single Plane
Yin/Yang Planes
Nested Realities
Islands in a Stormy Sea
Great Wheel of Planes
Infinite Possibilities
Parallel Universes[/table]

For the record, I believe AfroAkuma will be providing explanations for each option shortly.

[Owrtho]

Islands in a Stormy Sea, but I may change it once AfroAkuma provides explanations.

Owrtho

[puppyavenger]

I think this one defiantly needs an explanation, besides the Great Wheel option, and the single plane of obviously.

[Owrtho]

I thought most deemed kinda obvious (besides the great wheel actualy, not sure what that is).

"Nested Realities" "islands in a stormy sea" the Great Wheel is the default planar cosmology in the 3e DMG.

[Pronounceable]

I think I get all of them. Ying/yang isn't like DC's bull**** Earth X (or whatever) crap (which I think got retconned into nonexistance, hopefully) where everything is just the opposite for some reason, is it?

Nestled realities sound good to me. However, I'll wait till Afro provides explanations.

[Fako]

Islands in a Stormy Sea sounds good to me...as everyone else says though, I might change my vote once they have been explained...
