[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4991423, member: 66434"] Welcome to world design-the sane method.;) Thinking about a campaign world from scratch gets to be depressing if you look at it as a project that must be completed before the PC's step foot in it. Looking at all the published settings and the sheer amount of information can trick your mind into believing that all this has to be done before you can run a game. I think that world specific lore that is developed through play is better than prepared stuff whether the DM wrote it or not. Facts that are learned from gameplay have more meaning than reams of info shoved at the players. Building a world a brick at a time helps keep the players interested in the world. I would rather have less information on a world if the info was more useful/important. Besides, I don't have oodles of free time to just sit around and work on world design like I did 21 years ago.:( [/QUOTE]
