Excellent setting found on ENWORLD

Check this out: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=231660

Has a very unique feel to the city, along with some pretty cool names to boot!

Trying to load thread...doesn't like me T_T

Edit: Yay it loaded! I must say I love this quote:
"Its water varies from day to day; from saltwater to fresh, from the consistency of bitter tears to the clear, cold of fresh regret. Sages say it's always exactly what people need."

I'd so play in this setting.

[Moniker]

This is an extremely well-thought out and extremely unique setting. It reminds me of a Lewis Carroll/Planescape hybrid with a grotesque fairy tale feel on acid.

You know, the best think you could do for him is to get him to come over here and join the best place for discussing homebrew settings. :)

I'm going to be honest, reading this reminds me a lot of Wake (but in a good way).  But there are literally tons of awesome, original things in his thread, and hopefully he'll come over here and get some good advise from all you hardy folk! :)

Edit: This is off-topic, but has anyone else noticed that enWorld is ridiculously slow nowadays?

[Ninja D!]

If we post these here, I would have said something long ago about The Residuum Must Flow...

Yes, Ish, enWorld is so slow that I can't load it most of the time.

It has a much more nautical feel than mine, but otherwise, yeah.  I've actually been surprised by the number of settings I've seen through the years that resemble Wake and I can't help but wonder if their minds have led them to similar projects along the same path.  We should definitely get this guy over here! :p

The Geographic Society attempts to map the Interior, which is the second most dangerous pursuit in the world. It's made up of mystics and suicides who are afraid of water but like camping.

This made me laugh

Excellent read found at WotC, I recommend the first post only.  If only to avoid the actual thread that follows.

Done! And I've started posting our "player's guide" to the setting in a thread called "On the Shores of an Infinite Ocean", which, coincidentally enough, is the finally-settled-on name for our new campaign.

I would like to hear more about The Interior, its very interesting. I think all the setting has an air of melancholy (and many romantic and/or suicide individuals around). The port may have different names depending on each faction or stray soul... or why dont you call it "Port of Nevermore".

I liked this one. : D

hard[/i]. Hopefully inspiration will strike right before the players attempt to go here. Ideally, the near part of the Interior should reflect the minds of those exploring it.

We just sort of settled on calling it the port. Oddly, my current 3.5 homebrew is referred to as CITY. It's set in a magical metropolis made from nine portal-connected smaller cities.

Metaphores that gives shape, a kinda physical or at least visible shape to an adventurer motivation or fear sure work wonders and will do in The Interior.

Yeah, some times not giving a specific name to a place is better. "the port" sounds good.

Melancholy is my favorite.
