Although every D&D setting I am aware of employed some sort of distinction between peaceful, civilised areas and uncharted, mysterious wilderness, it is certainly possible to set a whole campaign in a great metropolis with no traditional wilderness. Even then, though, there were parts clearly identifiable as "base of operations" and "where the adventures take place".Ynas Midgardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972628887096890642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794111548031176400.post-71341644968213804172013-01-31T12:27:35.696+01:002013-01-31T12:27:35.696+01:00I think these elements are not necessaries but the...I think these elements are not necessaries but the key features of the early OD&D wilderness game.

Sometimes with original rezidents, sometimes with monsters. These places represent the "endgame", the achievement of the adventurers of the past.<br />_andrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488071199643926290noreply@blogger.com
