well im seriously thinking of taking the plunge and doing my rpg world in a digital published format. I'm not looking to make money, I just would like to have it out there. I hope there is a market since there are SOO many rpg worlds out there now. It will be for the people who just want a complete world of standard or old fashioned D&D without steam powered robots, dinosaurs and other sci fi stuff.I have even kicked around the idea for making it themed towards mature players. I have a good background for that since Ive been a cop for almost 10 years now. I have the material all done. I plan on having a main book which will briefly describe the world etc.. then
A book on the gods, detailing the churches and new spells for clerics
A book on the races, creatures and villains of the world
A small guide to each kingdom (maps, cities, places of interest)
I also have several modules done.
My question is, is there really a market for the standard D&D world, Ive seen a few independent game worlds and some had new ideas and some were really bad, as in boring.
I used to have a large fan base when it was in AD&D format and if anyone has seen it, it was called Lost Empires on the web.
Anyway I already have the material but to publish it I'm sure I'll have to get a layout program, what do you all recommend?
Second I have to do my maps other than my hand drawn ones, so what program can we use, since CC2 cant be used and sold for commercial since the art is someone elses. I want nice looking maps so what do you all use?
