Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brudewollen" data-source="post: 23428" data-attributes="member: 2274">Having had a break of about 4 years since I last ran my campaign world and then the release of d20, I decided to start a new game (in part because for change I now had time in my life).I had a few options, as I saw it:  1. I had my old world, which I could continue in the same time frame but with new rules...2. I could start a completely new campaign with a new world, which I very nearly did.  I had, for a long time, been working on a new campaign world, at least in brief, merely as a means of "getting things out of my system," things that really didn't belong in the world I had first made, but which I found myself thinking about and wanting to create...nobody has ever played in this world, it's just something I write about or add to every now and then.3. My third choice, the one I finally settled on, was to use my old world, but set the campaign in a new time period and in a far flung part of the world.  This way I could make some radical changes not only to rules but to setting and culture, as well.  It gave me a lot of freedom, but still allowed me to draw upon the very richly developed history I had already laid out for my world (much more well developed then the world mentioned in #2).  To be sure, your new world sounds like a much more radical depature then mine was between the two games.  I guess my suggestion is simply find a way to keep the best of the old, without keeping the stale stuff, and fuse it where it seems most fitting with the new.</blockquote>
