[QUOTE="SirAntoine, post: 6124326, member: 6731904"] There are two ways to go about it. First, think about what will practically SELL YOUR WORLD, and provide for that as well as you possibly can in your designs. Unless one thing that you feel will sell your world is it's size or completeness, you don't need to provide either in massive quantity. The things that will help carve your setting a niche should be your focus. If you feel you have like "the best view of a large and completely detailed setting" there could be, maybe you could establish your world that way in the market. Many DM's could want that, and others will want the different, shorter materials that are possible. In approaching WotC, you should also be able to pitch what your setting has to offer in such terms, in a 1-2 page query letter. I don't know that WotC is looking to buy a new setting, but you might intrigue someone. Someday they may do another contest like the one that brought the world Eberron, and if your setting is ready you can pitch it to them then. There are also other companies that may be interested, or you can try to self-publish. Keeping it small, also, will cut down costs, especially with respect to how much art you'll include. [/QUOTE]
