It's worth it.

Your campaign world may be worth 120,000 dollars.

It's a "Who Wants To Be Ed Greenwood?" competition.

Core Ethos Sentence?

How about this: A world of swords-and-sandals adventure, where heroes battle monsters whilst wearing sandals.

I can't believe it! They want another generic fantasy sword&sorcery setting! Don't they have enough of them?!?

Well, it's not what "they have enough of" that matters, it's what the public has had enough of that matters.

Besides, they said thematically similar. I suspect they're cautioning against 8 million Planescapesque settings, rather than saying it MUST BE LIKE FR or DL. There is alot of wiggle room to sword&sorcery.

The first proposal is due on the 21st of this month. That's not a lot of time at all.

Yikes, that's a pretty demanding timeline. Sort of demands that you have most of the details of your gaming world already worked out.

I have hundreds of vague details I've been keeping in my head for years for an alternate setting. But can I get them down in a coherent form that quickly, whilst dealing with work? The answer is probably: no.
