Is this a poll? Because if it is, then it looks like this is becoming "official", and I'll thro my 2 cents in, also.
1. setting? and 2. campaign setting?
Think size of project to be completed. I agree that a fantasy setting and the idea of a major city near a waterway is a good idea also, but we should have a few little towns around, and these towns should be on major roads between the larger cities. I think we should have some map submissions, or some rough ideas for the map submitted and someone draw it up. Also, little towns or small locations could be someones own creation (like someone does "town a" with the overall theme fitting in, but with thier own look (think artwork) and quests)
3. scope?
Larger project equals longer production time, and the more that is to be done, the more likely it is to overwhelm. smaller = easier. Now with that said, everyone likes the idea of a huge fantasy world with lots to do and explore. My suggestion is something "medium".
4. party size?
depends on the answer to #5. It can be suicidal to be a lone character at 1st level, so if not a full 6 (Is it like FRUA: 6 the most you can have, 8 with NPC?) then there should be plenty of NPCs around to spice things up... not a bad thing, tho.
5. party level?
I think it should be 1st level, so you get a chance to build your character. If higher, not too high in level or you have the magic overkill.
6. pc races?
Standard
7. npc races?
Whatever! I mean, if someone wants a town of Drow, they should have a good explanation.
8. setting magic level?
Low, both for PCs and for enemies.
9. setting religious level?
The less there is of an "organized religion" the better. With anyone being able to submit to this, the idea of "generic good religion A" & "generic bad religion B" becomes necessary to not offend. Its enough to have the idea of these guys are good versus those guys are bad, without much else. If you want to detail more, use art detail, chain of command, influences and alliances, ect.
However, you won't offend me unless you design a cult that is specifically against the SilentThief (Ahhhhhhhggg! don't Sacrifice me!!!)
10. setting government level?
depends on setting, you'll see more in the larger city, tho!
11. setting monty haul level?
better low then high
12. guilds?
OF COURSE!
13. secret societies?
OF COURSE!
14. linear/parallel/open-ended?
YES, various quests with a main quest
15. random combats level?
if wanted
16. combat level?
usually difficult, but not impossible unless they aren't supposed to do it yet (or impossible if they just aren't supposed to...)
17. dc resolution? (640, 800, 1024)
any, don't matter to me
18. default databases?
Keep the powerful items to a minimum.
and thats my 2 cents
SilentThief
