We used to make up our own worlds...no Faerun, no Forgotten Realms, etc.

One of the best 1st ed. campaigns I ever ran was set in a world very similar to 1500 B.C.'s Israel/Egypt, with Hebraic runes/magical system, huge burial tombs, priestly caste/structure, the whole 9 yards. It was right after Raiders of the Lost Ark had made such a huge splash and all the players just loved it. Talk about fun back then!

Cheers,

Saz I still got my world some where, I spent years on it, working out weather patterns, plate tectonics, migratory patterns of the wild life all of the little things that flesh out a world I read so many encyclopedias my brain cramped up Oh the "good old days"
