Suez channel swapping places with the straits of Gibraltar is hilarious

I'm still not totally clear why Tiny Crimea is highlighted, though.

First session GMing complete. Party of Charismatic Bear, Wizard Cat, and Perceptive Crow stole the shiny Biotic Crystal power source from the bank vault and installed it into the two century old abandoned warship Deep Fall before making their escape under the waves.

I'll admit to being one of those terrible players when the GM came out with his hand-crafted map of his world. I immediately went and took the party off the edge of the map, completely bypassing the wonderful lore he'd created.

Got it, get wasted and draw a map of europe with my eyes closed.

Hahaha my players tried that, choosing the map edge that seemed the most boring. They chose the Ocean of Irrelevance, UNLEASHING MY UNSPEAKABLE NAVAL CAMPAIGN

This is why you start your campaign at the first dungeon.  There's a difference between giving players freedom and letting them walk all over you.  There's a social contract to D&D and I enforce it the same way I enforce the NAP, with short-range ballistic missiles.

I take a different approach, running it like DF. I prepare loads of stats for various NPCs and critters, then improv different names, fluff and motivations on the fly. Then I throw my players in a dynamic situation and let them run with it, at that point I'm not fighting to beat the players onto my path, I'm just facilitating the RP

Exactly. Or whatever continent.

Lately I've had an idea for a collaborative world building session 0 type of thing for an evil campaign, where the players each create a character that works for a Sauron-esque dark lord, then works backwards to create the society allied to the dark lord they come from, then the world is filled in with the 'good' counterparts of the player made races.

Given the nature of people I've played with over the years this would likely result in a gloriously eclectic and dysfunctional set of societies with the dark lord serving as the sole unifying factor for both sides. Despite how chaotic it would almost certainly be, it's still something I want to try.

Of interest might be the FFG setting Midnight, who's premise is essentially to be Middle Earth a thousand years after Sauron's (mostly) final victory.

That sounds pretty dank. Does it have wizard Saruman?

Also how do you guys feel about fashion vs practicool? I've noticed I tend to drift around monks, rogues and barbarians just so I can maximize my fashion game, as normal clothes don't affect unarmoured defence.

Yet...

Why not heavy armoured fashion?

The 5e spell Major Image says touching the Image reveals it to be an illusion if you touch as you pass through it, but what if you make an Image of something that can be reasonably passed through, like fog, smoke, or yourself saying "Bwahaha, you can't hurt me now that I'm ethereal!"?
