Agreed Tom. A well written standardized dungeon crawl, as in Eamon can be a fun litle diversion, but for a true exploration setting I deffinately want more background and detail. I think many writers, (particularly of pvp heavy grinders), have been very lazy in just snipping superficial

Hi Dark, Oh, I know exactly what you are saying about game stereotypes. When I began drafting my game rpg game I started to go with a fantacy setting and realize everybody who is anybody has been there and done that so to speak. We have everything from Zork to Final Fantacy, and it is assumed

Yeah, Spore uses procedural functions to create an entire galaxy. It was a great concept, but a little neutered in that game. The only other game off the top of my head that did that was a space game called Elite. Actually, the BBS game Tradewars also created a universe in that fashion, but it was
