[QUOTE="Ry, post: 3917163, member: 8314"] The project is structured as a collection of 400-500 word entries, so they're not tiny quotes. The focus isn't on creating a bunch of contradictory information, although there is some contradictions when it comes to some of the more mythical elements. The focus is more on creating situations - all of the entries are designed to be in motion, with things you can't ignore if you're close to them. So in a way it's a bunch of quotes that you can use to make a campaign world, but it does double duty as a collection of hooks. For example, when it talks about the [url=http://www.greathundred.org/Akavars]Akavar people[/url], it does it from the perspective of a shaman about to send boys through thier rites of manhood, and that's volatile from their perspective. When it tells you about how [url=http://www.greathundred.org/Coins]coins[/url] are made, it's from the perspective of a criminal who's not too happy that another criminal slipped him some forged coins. The information about the [url=http://www.greathundred.org/Halcyon_Sea]major region[/url] is from the perspective of a barbarian shaman interested in invading it. and so on. [/QUOTE]
