Any good fan-created settings out there?

I run this query every now and again, 'cause I'm always on the look out for cool new stuff to tinker with, so. . . do you have a kick-ass homebrew setting online or do you know of one? If so, lend me your links, fellow gamers!

Mine is here though I honestly have no idea how friendly it is to people that just have it to go off of. The wiki is designed as a player resource as well as a place for me to just try to keep everything. It is far from complete though.

Don't sell yourself short! That site has the makings of a great campaign atlas

Ya, one of these days I need to scan my maps in. My problem is for the first 8 years I did everything in notebooks so now I have maybe a thousand pages or so of campaign notes and stuff with tons of info in my head and I'm slowly trying to get it all in one easily accessible place.

Ya, one of these days I need to scan my maps in. My problem is for the first 8 years I did everything in notebooks so now I have maybe a thousand pages or so of campaign notes and stuff with tons of info in my head and I'm slowly trying to get it all in one easily accessible place.

I inherited a setting like that (i.e., one extensively detailed in longhand) from my old AD&D 1e GM back in 1995, but it got lost in one of my many moves around the country. I've often thought of trying to rebuild it from memory (I played in it for three years and ran campaigns in it for two years, so this isn't a stretch). Thing is, it would be a lot of work and I'm not sure I want to invest the required amount of time and energy in it.

The first time that I hand-inked a poster-size world map for the setting, it took me nearly four months -- and that was just the map. It would probably take a good two years to get the whole of the setting on paper again (and possibly longer). Typing it wouldn't go much quicker, really. And I tend to be very obsessive about meeting high standards where posting pet projects to the web is concerned (hence the long wait for a finished Northlands and Swords of Strange Aeons).

I don't have a lot of detail on my own homebrews online, but I think The 13 Kingdoms is pretty cool, and Eyros even cooler.... T13K was cobbled together by folks from The Living Web, while Eyros was put together by ENWorlders on the General forum.

Link to the Wiki that has the compiled Eyros posts is in my sig. I'm still waiting for a chance to run or play an Eyros campaign..... Just don't have the time and group for it yet (and not ready to put my Rhunaria campaign on indefinite hiatus for it yet).

Very cool -- it's a shame that it's not print-friendly (that said, it links to some cool looking settings that are).

It is a very cool campaign setting. I've spent hours reading about the setting, along with the spells, characters, magic items, etc. I can only aspire to such a detailed work up for my setting!
