Here is something I've noticed, and maybe it's because I'm not widely read, but when it comes to fantasy settings we seem to use "earth like" but limit ourselves to Eurasian earth like or attempt to create wholly alien worlds. I find this disappointing.
Recently I was driving through and hiking some easy trails in the Needles District of canyonlands national park.
And it got me thinking, why aren't there more fantasy settings like this. It's alien, majestic,and has potential for ambushes and fights and conflict galore. Personally I have two novels but panned where the climax will take place in settings like this. Including one chase sequence in slot canyons with a flash flood.
And in case you want to investigate this more for your settings here are some more pics.
What different settings do you like to use and why?
