Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a homebrewed campaign setting that's more detailed than Jürgen Hubert's Urbis: A World of Cities? Homebrews are an interest of mine and, as far as I can tell, Urbis may very well be the most detailed one ever shared on the web. It's certainly the most...

Very cool. I like the "feel" that you built for Vetus in the introductory paragraphs - wild and unknown. If you'd like to post it in an environment that encourages collaborative efforts, and perhaps have other people fleshing out Vetus under your guidance, feel free to post it on Eruvian.com...

How much detail would your ideal published campaign setting have? Do you crave as many descriptions, histories, maps, characters, and such as possible or does that hijack your own creativity?

Hey guys and gals, thanks for the great data and all those comments about your homebrews. I'll be PMing a number of you.... ;) Cheers!

How important are orcs to a campaign setting? Are they a staple of D&D that the game needs to have or have they been done to death?

If I were you, I'd start by working out the history of the AIs. How did they come about? Do that have a single creator? Was their creation revolutionary or evolutionary? What would their society have been like when they first had to be given a name? Did they choose a name for themselves or was...

I'm curious how much work people put into their homebrewed stuff to make it accessible for others to use (a.k.a. publishable). If you were to put your homebrewed stuff in another GM's hands, would they be able to use it? Or do you think it's a waste of time to detail some of your house rules...

Hey all, I'm curious how much custom work most world-builders are putting into their homebrews. Do you leave everything pretty much "standard" (e.g. Core Rules) and rearrange it to your own liking or are you building everything from scratch? Somewhere in the middle? My apologies to those who...
