What do you prefer in fantasy settings, northern or southern

Flat world.

northern, harsh cold is more survival oriented

>>54972838
Flat earth would still have biomes depending on how the sun works

>>54972807
I quite like to have Mediterranean based fantasy settings, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Turkish, and North African cultures makes for a nice variety

Bring on the I C E
I also like forests

On the inside of a giant ring molded around an ancient dragon in its death throes.

Have survival rules ever been more intensive than "You need this equipment, roll one check and make sure you have enough rations?"

I like my cold northern settings as much as the next guy, but survival elements in RPGs seem pretty glossed over.

The cold definitely makes having taverns and shit comfy as fuck though

I've never played in a game where survival was done well but it defenitly seems doable

>>54972881
not sure if stupid or...

>>54973164
depends on the game and the gm, if the gm really hammered the sensational descriptions and used imagery then survival will seem dire and fascinating, if you are playing on a blank white white grid you roll a skill check then no

what do you think temperature have to do with hemisphere?

>>54973250
I'd swear I read this as
>if the GM is really hammered
Now I'm imagining my gm drunk and trying to do survival.

>>54972807
Northern.
I like snow and winter.

The south is just a fun place to visit.

Unless we go far enough south anyway.

I suppose most of us are predisposed to assume an Earth-like planet where the northest north has more landmass and thus civilizations to be part of on it than the southest south.

>>54973338
ok then have it your way, suppose weather has nothing to do with hemisphere, what is the point of OP's choice then? There might be no difference in hemisphere, or some random arbitrary difference that can't be determined. If that were the case then his question is meaningless. So I defaulted to a reasonable assumption of what he meant, what climate do you prefer.

This is more likely of a better answer. Our world has most of the landmass in the north for some memetical reason. So there isn't much to tell about the south because the only thing comparable to Alaska would be the southest bit of Argentina and Chile. The rest is just too many latitudes above. And there is no southern equivalent of Iceland.

We will never know what it feels like to have a world where the landmass is on the south.

What the hell do biomes have to do with norh vs south emispheres?

>>54972921
Not him and it doesn't have to.

It's like you never heard about Alderson Disk

Imagine Alaska being covered in birches and having constant, harsh winds.

Nothing.

But it's American daytime hours and this is thread related to geography, so go fucking figure

>Literally feels the same as it does now

>>54972807
I prefer vikings in the north.

>>54972807
Southern. Antarctica, to be precise.
