I'd like to have the world and campaign finished beforehand so I'm making sure I have plenty of time. One question I'm really anxious to have answered is this: if Wizards heard about your world (or whatever other publisher suits your fancy) and decided they wanted to publish it, would you be able to package the whole thing into one of their double column 320 page campaign guides? Would you need it and a few other books (see 3e Dragonlance) or would you need an entire selection of books (See 3e/3.5 Forgotten Realms, with a whopping 17 sourcebooks)? I'm sure there is no set amount of pages needed to properly convey a world, but when I first started making this a few weeks ago, my goal was roughly 200 pages of information, including room to post pics, and package it all as a PDF. Now however, as I do more work, really think about what I want to do, I expect I could need far more than that. So what say you, would 300-500 pages of material sound about right to you, or does this seem more like the high hopes of someone who will likely get burnt out around 50 pages because they've been too ambitious?</p></blockquote><p></p>
