		<description>Yes... much though I liked the ideas in Generica (I was around for most of the creation process so I remember more than just the bit we played in)... studying=good.

As for my own attempt at a homebrew world, it didn&#039;t get too far off the ground. I had the main theme of a continent recently or currently being invaded by an &quot;alien&quot; race (Yuan-ti).

I (we actually, Graham helped) had the races pretty well decided on. So from my notes we have:

Standard humans - probably a few different European-type societies here

Hill dwarves - &quot;Grecian society&quot; ie philosophers, engineers and archetects with focus on the body/mind balance ideal.

Elves - plainsmen, Rohan-esque society, honour-bound and proud.

Orcs - playable race, was going to use the stats of the Minotaur from the Dragonlance setting slightly tweaked, they were going to be sailors.

Gnomes/Halflings - the idea was that the the idea was to combine the 2 races, where the Gnome stats would have been males, and the Halfling stats would be females. The society would have been Asian inspired, with the men (Gnomes) as the Mystic/Yogi/Shaman type, and the females (Halflings) as the Acrobat/Rogue/Ninja type. :ninja: 

Never got around to using it, and probably never will.

So yeah. 8)</description>

		<description>Actually, yes.  The map was done on computer.  I&#039;ll see if I can dig it (and the method I used to make it) out.

Heh.  This seems to have taken on new life.  Maybe I&#039;ll spend my free time this winter (Ha!) detailing the world.

Or studying.  Studying is good, too.</description>

		<description>Haha! I love the &#039;something big happens so that I can change everything&#039; trick.. i&#039;ve used that before and (probably) going to use it again in my current game. Any maps of generica survive? love to seem them... :ninja:</description>

		<description>Cool concept.  Homebrews can be exceedingly satisfying.

It&#039;s funny that you named your world the same way I always name my placeholder NPC.</description>

		<description>For sure.

I&#039;m pretty sure it was the same desire that led me to run a Dark Sun campaign recently.  Just before the current Pathfinder one, in fact.</description>

		<description>Bravo!  Generica, love it!

Brings back memories of the first time the dark sun boxed set was opened...gaming was never quite the same after that.  Another sweet campaign that turned convention on it&#039;s ear.  

Good company to be in there.</description>
