I had read a passing reference to that idea in someone else's blog, but was unable to locate it.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786312855250456688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-15772810321846972592009-10-13T21:17:44.815-06:002009-10-13T21:17:44.815-06:00I read this too.

For some reason your blog comes to mind, did you not post something related to this recently?<br /><br />I agree, what classes or professions are available helps ground the campaign.<br /><br />For example, in the games I recently played with some new players, one of the professions available was that of the "Knights Imperious", (a military order recently disbanded by order of the local Duke). <br /><br />A not so subtle nod to the Musketeers / Knights Templar, but it gave the fighters an immediate hook and established the setting.Aaron E.

It seems to me that the most fundamental way that a player experiences a campaign setting or world is through their character (just stating the obvious). The range of classes (or class flavors) available (or not available) creates an immediate sense of what the campaign is about (I read this on someone's blog a few months ago). I think that this is a very helpful exercise, not only for players but also for the DM.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786312855250456688noreply@blogger.com
