Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2 • Re: [Regional Sorcery] Femphrey

I'm looking forward to the Old World Gazetteer a lot, fingers crossed the schedule slip gremlins don't get their hands on it!

It doesn't seem practical to have completely original lists (or even mostly) for each region, and if you did the ideas would be spread thin and the quality would suffer. Not that I'm saying that was the idea of the thread, Skyrock said overlap was to be expected.

So what I'd like to see in the Gazetteer are a few extra Sorcery spells and then lists of spells for a variety of styles and some back story for each. These would mostly be the same as either the standard list or the naval list but with a few differences and the odd unique spell.

When I said styles being regional I didn't necessarily mean nations. The style from the Sorcery books might be state sponsored in Analand with 3 or 4 schools scattered around the country, while the most "common" style in Mauristatia might be taught by a hermit in the mountains. Maybe Femphrey's main land sorcery style is also known in Gallantaria, and so on.

Naval Sorcery ... might still be "the Femphrey" Sorcery style
Sure I don't see why a naval sorcery style shouldn't be the dominant one in Femphry even if it also has a land sorcery style.

My view is the naval sorcery usually seen in Allansia is also from Analand, at least on the west coast of the continent. Analand is the first nation you get to sailing out from Allansia and the one likely to have the best (although still sparse) trading links with it. With pretty much everyone arriving by ship maybe you're more likely to get naval sorcerers coming over than standard sorcerers?
