[QUOTE="Cthulad, post: 7563260, member: 11449"] I have started 2 campaigns now, and both times I gave a little bit of detail. I am talking maybe a paragraph or 2 at the most. It's mostly just off the top of my head for the area. I started playing with very little context, and the DM at the time made everything up in his head, I kinda learned it that way. He started by having an adventure from one cave to another, or town or what ever and the tables he used for generating NPCS were good. I have started with an adventure, and then the whole group comes together, and we create everything from there. If I start in Forgotten Realms, well it's easier because everyone is really familiar with the areas, and time lines. I tried to start a campaign using Temple of Elemental Evil, but it quickly fell by the way side as there was just not the right setting, or the right information to utilize for a full campaign. It was just a guideline, and so it started one way and quickly moved to a full home brew campaign. I still need to revisit it at some point. [/QUOTE]
