Lately, when I think about D&D and that sort of traditional style of game, there's a particular setting that grabs me. It's the setting from a computer RPG, and while I try to think of interesting ways to tweak and modify it, honestly, the interesting bits are already spread out before me. If I ever get around to running it, I'll probably just use it more or less as-is.

Steerpike wants to play 20Q to find out what game and setting I'm talking about, so here's the thread. You all know how this works. You get twenty yes-or-no questions, and you get to hear the answer for each before you ask the next.

For counting, please number your questions, and I'll number my answers, like this: [ic]Q1: are we posting in a thread?

A1: yes, we are posting in a thread.[/ic]

1. Is it a fantasy setting (ie - inspired by pre-modern tech/culture with magic)?

A2: yes, demons are present. I guess they're integral? Not sure what that would mean.

Q4: What "terrain" is most of the game set in (that is, are the players in the city most of the time that the player has control of them, in a swamp, a forest, etc.) or if there is no main "terrain" what are the most prevalent terrains?

Sounds like a good question, but they need to be yes-or-no questions unfortunately. You'd have to rephrase that.

I'm not counting "you need to ask that differently" as one of the 20 answers, so you're still asking Q3.

Does it have unique races (Besides elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, etc?)

I figured he would rephrase it. Also, I would ask another type of question (focused around game mechanics) but I think we're asking about the setting and not "gamey-based questions", so I will stick to those.

Q3: Are the setting's magic casters called wizards?

Q4 Does your setting use divine magic?

A3: Yes.

A4: Yes, I'm pretty sure. (Edit: I checked, and no, they are generally not, but they may get that label here and there.)
