If you're looking for a campaign setting to use, and you find this one, you may ask yourself, "What advantages does Polaqu hold for me?" Here is a list of both the Pros and the Cons of the Polaqu setting:

Pros

  • It's free.
  • It's collaborative, meaning anyone (even you!) can edit it. While this might be a bad thing, its not. Unbalancing statistics can be changed, better flavor text can be added, so on and so forth.
  • It's online. It has nearly unlimited space, so, once its big enough, you could find information from the workings of an empire to the usuals of the small inn in a backwater town.
  • It's unique. It's a setting based primarily in aquatic territory, during world-engulfin war.
  • It contains free adventures. Don't know where to start? Then start there.
  • It's a community. If you need help running a Polaquin campaign, then there's people around to help.

Cons

  • It's collaborative. This is the bad side of it. Unbalancing statistics can be easily added. Your players may create unfair feats and use them. So on and so forth. To counter this, I plan to someday release an official (and inexpensive) Polaqu sourcebook.
  • It's small. This will change as more people become aware of it. So tell your friends about it!
