Rachael said:I have to say I honestly don't like when games incorporate real world holidays (or fictional but obviously influenced by real world holidays) into the game world. Only holidays that should be present are ones that are taken from the games actual lore.

Pyye said:I agree... I think the game should have it's own holidays that cycle within the game world time. As the seasons come around within the game, the player can get involved in the special season of events. This is not something I have to have, but if so, this makes more sense to me.
Cromulent said:I agree with this. Why should Pantheon have Christian (or more correctly pagan since they originated from the pagan religions pre-dating christianity) religious holidays in it? It makes no sense. Perhaps we should have Pantheon celebrate Chinese new year as well? Or what about Ramadan? Nope just say no to the whole lot of them.
This oozed out of a distaste for real world celebrations in games.
So what are the GLOBAL celebrations of Terminus? How did they start? How do they play out? - Maybe race arrivals? The defeat of armies?
What are some race specific celebrations?
What if you incorporated the planar collisions. Each race gets its own celebration and flavor based on the times of year the colisions occurred.
halflings need a day of practical joking, drinking, songs, and laughter
I agree halflings need to be the april fools celebration!
