I mainly run the "popular" regions, Dales, Cormyr, Western Heartlands, Sword Coast, and Waterdeep.
Last year I decided to run in Chult, a short three session quest and it was a blast. I wanted it to feel different and memorable to my players so I leaned heavy into what made Chult different and unique.
It was a bit after this quest I realized I should be picking a region by the type of story I'm looking to tell. I started compiling a list of regions and themes. Thought I would share as I go, get feedback, and maybe posting will encourage me to finish compiling it.
Regions:
Anauroch
- Land of Extremes (brutal heat & cold, sand storms & oases, nomadic honor & punishment)
- Ancient Buried Evils & Magics
- Desolation (a sad lonely land of survival, a ghost of what was)
The Border Kingdoms
- Constant Change (short lived borders, "rulers", settlements, and wild magic outbreaks)
- Might & Magic (mercenary armies, wizard warlords, adventurers)
- A Bountiful Haven (a beautiful hide away for those on the run)
Chult
- Darkest Jungle Exploration (inaccessibility, disease, rain, lost ancient civilizations)
- Exotic Native Cultures (metal scarcity, limited pantheon, fiend worship)
- Exotic Flora & Fauna (dinosaurs, giant bugs, slimes)
