I'm a big fan of consistency as well, even in the most fantastic of settings... consistency is important for the suspension of disbelief and drawning both GMs and players into a setting.

That's the sense I'm getting from others... build the campaign setting with the lots of adventure seeds and impending conflicts and then let the DM decide what course to follow from there. So what would you want to see in a player's introduction packet? Races, new rules, condensed history...

Thanks for the run down on what you are looking for it'll certainly help me make a decision on what to include in the setting. This should be quite doable... I'll be sure to give the whys of each major race and element of the campaign setting. Good point about the scenarios in sidebars being...

I have indeed been hooked on settings before Birthright, Mystara, and Iron Kingdoms come to mind foremost... I'll be sure to get a good line up of ideas for campaign setting follow-up products together. Slices frequently... got it! ;)

Thanks for the examples... and I'll be sure to have a few Great Evils (or Goods) to worry about for you when the campaign setting comes out ;)

I agree wholeheartedly... hopefully I'll find a good artist or two with complimentary styles to what the campaign setting needs.

I'm definately getting that vibe and will make maps a priority ;-) Sounds like its best to lay out a solid foundation with a lot of adventure opportunities laid out and then let the DM do the campaigning... I set the buffet the DM chooses what he wants from it... cafetria (but with good food)...

A quick question for all: Would you prefer your history woven into the backgrounds of NPCs and locales with a short overview chapter or would you prefer a larger history chapter with locales and NPCs woven into a single narrative and then have cursory references in the NPC and locale entries...

Although the setting will have a lot of unique rules (including feats), they are very setting specific and distinctive. As for maps... I'm getting the feeling that maps are important for a campaign setting and will make a note to have as many as possible :)

So you prefer a campaign setting with lots of set-up and a general outline of the world's conflicts and then allows you to run with it... what kind of support products would you want for such a setting (Adventures, Regional Guides, etc...)? How much time would you want to elapse before a product...

Maps... world map, locale maps, and unique area maps... That should be doable ;-) Though this does bring to mind a question... do you prefer stylized maps which accent the setting or straightforward maps which get across the information? And what about a map that changes or has unmappable...

Could you give a few examples of campaign settings with the kind of focal conflict you are describing along with what you consider the focal conflict? I think I know what you are getting at (and I believe the idea I've got fits), but a couple examples will help. Would you prefer a campaign...

So what follow-up products do you prefer for a campaign setting (locales, regions, adventures)? How often would you want follow-up materials produced? Would one game supplement per quarter be enough (with short monthly web enhancements put out to tide fans over until the next supplement comes...

What would the chapter layout of your ultimate campaign setting book look like? What are the neccessary elements of the book (unique rules, geography, history, organizations, npc's, current events, introductory adventure, etc...)? Which elements do you prefer a setting focus on? Do you prefer...

After a summer vacation in the Nether regions of the Negative Energy Plane Undead Presidents Press has posted a new Design Diary on the Little Things that we think will make Summa Fantasia run a wee bit faster at the table. We are still looking for playtesters and rules readers, especially now...

Thanks! Sean and Deb, Thanks for getting this organized... ;-) God bless and keep you and all those who contributed.

This is what Undead Presidents looked at as our goal... to make a complete game from player's guide to game master's guide to monster guide all in about 320 pages or less. So far we are well on our way to meeting this goal. Undyingly Yours, Undead Washington (aka Joseph Miller, or is that the...

We'll hopefully be updating the site soon with a new Design Diary... we had a busy summer with vacations not meshing and undead president's moving. However we are back into the swing of things and putting finishing touches on some of the chapters as I type this... We also spent most of the...

The Undead Presidents hold their first official interview with GDR Italia's Fabio Peruzzo (a.k.a. Karagounis). This in-depth interview contains 4 and 3/4's pages worth of questions and answers ranging from background information on the Undead Presidents to a discussion of some of the unique...
