I am quite aware of the amount of time and effort that goes into creating a world, and knowing that, was thinking of picking up either the Forgotten Realms, or Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting.---        ---        ---        ---                In retrospect I shouldn't have been so eager to become the DM for my small society. However circumstances forced my hand as all our experienced players had either left the society as they had completed Secondary education or did not want to be a DM. Thus after being a player for less than six months I attempted to become a DM.As you could guess the campaign end was a near disaster as I couldn't handle high level PCs, as I could let alone grasp the concept of the d20 system. I did the traditional style of DMing (if in doubt shout) which thoroughly annoyed my PCs. Although all did say that the beginning of the campaign was thoroughly entertaining as well as being well laid out. What I can conclude from what little experience I have is that there needs to be consistency throughout your campaign.For the material that you wish to use in your campaign all I can offer is the advice of my society's experienced players. Firstly one half believed that FR was thoroughly overpowered and that care should be paid to what parts you want to take from FR. Whereas the other felt that the material overall was balanced and led to an interesting campaign.Kingdoms of Kalamer is something that I have never heard of before so I really cant say much or post what others in my small knit group have said about it. This may have been too new for the experience players, which left last year, and too new for us ignorant newbies. Whatever you may chose for a campaign setting, good luck too you and I hope that all goes well for your campaign.Bluewolf</blockquote>
