Nevermore Design Diary #2: A Shapechanger Named Nevermore When we last left our intrepid designer he was speaking about the ever-changing world of Nevermore, and asked the question: How do you design a campaign world that is ever-changing and shifts landscapes, seasons, and even creatures upon...

Nevermore Design Diary #1: What is in a Name? For the past few years I have devoted myself to a name and a concept. The name was Nevermore and the concept was the creation of a unique campaign setting. The former sprung from reading too much Edgar Allen Poe as an adolescent and the later from...

Nevermore FAQ This post includes a number of frequently asked questions about the Nevermore campaign setting. If you have any other questions feel free to ask them below and I'll answer them ASAP: How would you sum up the Nevermore campaign setting? Nevermore is an ever-changing world where...

My name is Joseph Miller, the semi-charmed designer of the Nevermore campaign setting in the upcoming True20: Worlds of Adventure book for Green Ronin. I figured it would be a good idea to set up a thread to answer questions (in a FAQ), present previews (such as the Design Diaries), and...

Well the plan is to have a quick play rules and flavor text pdf... followed by a number of flavor text oriented pdfs providing adventure hooks and more in-depth information on the people, places, and things in the setting. I do like the idea of adding in DC descriptors... and will keep that in...

The Undead Presidents present the Monster Design Diary for the Summa Fantasia, OGL rules lite game system. After a little practice with the SF character creation system you will be able to create PCs, NPCs, and monsters of any level in just about 10 minutes. Which allows both players and GMs the...

Here's a few more questions: Would you buy a campaign setting that is OGL, but not d20? What if the setting's rules could be used in d20 (or easily converted)? Are you more likely to buy a d20 product then an OGL product? Do you prefer a product use just one rule system (and provide...

This is definately the plan... and thanks for your feedback. Anyone else like/dislike the idea of a small pdf driven campaign setting with constant support and the promise of a "BIG Book" at the end (most likely POD)?

Thanks for the feedback... here's a question for you and others: Do you mind if the "complete world" is put out in lots of small pdfs (with the intention that they can be gathered together into a POD)? In my estimation this allows people to try out the setting for a low entry cost and if they...

Any other comments, questions, or suggestions on what you would like to see in a campaign setting? Thanks for all your feedback!

The campaign setting I've got planned should be able to work in conjunction with any fantasy setting... and I definately plan on including a "how to introduce this setting" section. I look forward to getting everything written up for it. ;)

Thanks for the feedback. Anyone else have an opinion on campaign setting narrative voice (in character, omniscient, or both)?

Thanks for your feedback... I'm definately leaning towards the approach you've indicated above.

Thanks for the comments... this is definately one of the ideas I'm kicking around. Another would be to put the organizations in the domain/realm books they are linked to... any preferences? Other ideas as to how to introduce organizations?

Thanks for the rundown of what you'd be looking for in a quick-play guide. Anyone else have some thoughts on what you would like to see in such a guide? Hmmm... interesting idea. I do like contests... I'll have to think about this one. I might not do it exactly like you have in mind, but the...

Definately no vanilla organizations planned for the campaign setting... I was thinking of doing organizations grouped by region... any other ways you might want organizations grouped together? Or is by region a good idea?

Another quick question... DO you like your campaign setting material written as if by a character from the setting or by non-partial narrator? Or do you prefer a mixture of the two?

That is one of the ideas I'm tossing around... What would you think of a campaign setting subscription idea? You'd pay a flat fee (discounted) for all the products for the campaign setting for a year? With a minimum of one (8-12 page) product released each month? Any other thoughts or ideas...

There is definately a hook and if you look at the books listed in my sig you might just get a clue to what kind of campaign setting I'm putting together. Unfortunately, I can't share much more with you all at the moment, but as soon as I can share (which may be next month sometime) I'll let...

This is the plan... Do others feel this way? What if the organizations are only those of great importance to the campaign setting and presented with adventure seeds, npcs, unique items, and other information that flesh out the organization? What other information would you want in an...
