For a historical campaign, the setting might be the court of King Louis XVI, whereas for a superheroes campaign it might be the fictional city of Metropolis. Many RPG publishers create settings for use with their products or the GM can create one from scratch. The setting is usually presented as an atlas or encyclopedia of the area where the player characters are expected to be, with lists of important people the PCs might meet and locations they can explore. The game tries to create a fictional reality. More flexible GMs will tweak details of the world to suit the players&#039; character concepts, but the larger and more complete the setting, the more difficult this becomes. On the other hand, a deep and well-developed setting such as Tékumel or Glorantha allows the players to feel that their characters are experiencing and exploring something larger than themselves."><img src="modules/glossary/glossary.gif" /></a>.

It is generally made up of a series of adventures within a specific setting. Since the word &#039;campaign&#039; implies a series of military conquests, games wishing to distance themselves from such martial pursuits have alternate names for their campaigns. For example, Ars Magica campaigns are known as sagas and Vampire: The Masquerade campaigns are known as chronicles. Several games, attempting to invoke the serial dramas of television, have used the term series.
