Which of these settings interests you the most? (Poll)

  1. Okay, at the moment I'm growing a little bit bored with my main project, so I've decided to do something on the side, and, considering I'm more a world builder who sees what plots form, then a plotter who builds a world around their narrative, I've decided that's what I'm doing. So the question is, to any who read this, which of these settings do you prefer.

    Setting 1: A bronze age world where the local pantheon of gods take active parts in people's lives by fighting each other with mortal champions.

    Setting 2: A traditional fantasy world where the technology is equal to the nineteen twenties, but all the evil stuff has been wiped out by adventures and semi-automatic machineguns.

    Setting 3: A world with a technology equivalent to the eighteen seventies where humanity lives in a single walled city that will inevitably collapse, and let in the more traditional version of elves and fairies who killed people for looking at them wrong.

    Note: This thing is still open to more people, as I'm always interested to see what people think and prefer.

    I like them all, but the first is my favourite. The bronze age isn't explored enough in my opinion.

    I really like the first two if that helps.

    I like all of them.....even though I know that doesn`t help much. I`d have to say setting 3 as my top pick, though.

    I might have to make this into a thread so I can get some more responses.

    Ooo I like it! I can really see how each land mass may have formed.

    Can I now be cheeky and ask how you made it? ;)

    I like the first one most. The second doesn't really make sense to me.

    @Oscar Leigh To put it simply, a fantasy world which did not get hung up in the medieval times. Evil dudes in heavy plate armour can't really hold up to mortar strikes and cannons.

    But the "evil stuff", could get the technology too. And other ways of dealing. Neither is it likely for any organised exterminating force to have a clear knowledge and flawness judgement of what is "evil". It just doesn't make sense. Nasty people and Nasty things are everywhere. How does this work exaclty? How do they know exactly where these things are or every single one?

    Let me rephrase it. A stereotypical fantasy world that has run out of "adventures". No more ancient evils breaking out of their prisons. No more liches cackling about raising an undead army. No more dark lords sat in their dark fortresses. A world where stereotypical "evil" is not defeated by one mighty blow, but fatigue and attrition. All of the ancient, long forgotten evils have been locked away till the next time, and their will not be a dark lord for a long time as well.

    Though now I do have an idea for a great scene where a cult has to hijack a train to retrieve a key to free an old evil god.
