"Osse is a mysterious continent far from Faerûn. Its population shares much in common with the aboriginal populations of real-world Australia and New Zealand. The people are deeply in touch with their natural world and believe that everything has a spirit -- rocks, trees, air. They are in touch with their ancestors and venerate them along with nature. While travelers from Osse are few and far between in the Realms, those that are encountered frequently follow the path of the spirit shaman. They go on quests to find their way in life, balance wrongs in the spirit world, and help maintain the world's natural beauty."Table of Contents

Me, obviously. :D (Not that I have the time for such things, but anyway.) What I rambled on about in that other thread was just the tip of the ice-berg of ideas I have an Australia-themed Osse.

Osse is a rarely-mentioned continent, probably based on Australia, introduced by Bruce Cordell in The Priests: Lady Of Poison with a character from there, with an Australian Aboriginal flavour. It was also briefly mentioned in the Class Chronicles series, for Spirit Shamans and Totemists. It can also be seen on the "A Scholar's View Of Abeir-Toril" world map in the FRCS 3e. Which one would it be? The one on the right, past the Eastern Sea and Southern Ocean?

-What thread was that? I don't remember, and my subscriptions got erased the other day.
-Or, if you have an actual file, mind copying and pasting some stuff?

Thanks Markus. But let's not. :P I mean, Oz already has Warforged (Tin Men), Shifters (Lion) and Halflings (Munchkins). Do we really want all that, again? :D See the Tin Man miniseries for what it would look like in D&D. Karsus, it was the 'Continent Names' thread, here: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1151827Oh, yeah, kodingobolds are in FR as well.  Then again, we should all finish what we've started, what with Elves of Faerun, Kara-Tur Redux and the Utter East. :D Osse is pretty much a blank-slate, we'd be starting from scratch.

Off Topic: I actually watched the Tin Man miniseries. I had no idea that it'd be so different from the original Wizard of the Oz. I thought it'd be similar to that, but more "modern" and slightly re-imagined. Ha. I recorded it thinking that my (at the time) four year old nephew would enjoy it. It got awful reviews, but I did not think it was that bad... it was slightly cheesy, but overall interesting. Azkadellia was my favorite character as I thought she was the most complex and interesting. Also... boob bat-monkeys. Who does not love a female villain with boob bat-monkeys? I am so stealing that someday, mark my words. :P Also, I laughed when we found out what happened to the Wizard of Oz. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but it was funny in such an evil and cruel way. It was at that point when I definitely knew that it was something my four year old nephew probably shouldn't see. :P ---- As for doing Osse... please no.  I'm not really a fan of these rip-off cultures (Maztica and Kara-Tur). The last thing we need is one based off of Australia. Didn't the guy in that novel go around talking about his dingo and such? If I am not mistaken people said he was written like a bad Steve Irwin.
