Ghelspad was an awesome setting and the first I tried to run: imagine a harsh landscape still scattered with the corpses and consequences of a war between gods and titans. Corrupting flesh of rended titan bodies litter the landscape, their putrid presence mutating the local flora and fauna, the rotting meat and god-gristle spawning horrible, mad monstrosities.
Then throw a scattering of kingdoms struggling to survive the aftermath of the war, adjust to the new reign of the gods, and hold back roaming war-bred and titan-born monsters that roam the wastes and wilds. All while keeping an eye on predacious neighbors looking for any sign of weakness to take over themselves.
It was great. Unfortunately, I suffered from the OCD/perfectionistic stress and paralysis that is a byproduct of my problem with every setting I've tried to run: if it exists, it must be looked up if not memorized. If I'm making up a setting I can just fill in the blanks when something comes up, then jot it down. If it exists, the uncertainty of whether there is a blank or not has always caused game stoppages and uncertainty when I've run such settings. As such, I now simply mine them for cool ideas to sprinkle as enrichment to my own settings.
