[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3056538, member: 35678"] That is all too true - but don't let it discourage you (I know I haven't allowed it to get to me yet :p) Honestly, if you are not doing the full-blown campaign sourcebook, you shouldn't bother to write 25 pages of notes. keep it precise and concise. List the classes and the races. List the equipment allowed. List the PrCs allowed. List the other books allowed. List the stuff you are banning. Write a maximum of 3 paragraphs on any important region that the PCs could be from, and don't get bogged down into minor details that are, in actuality, only important to you, or until important in the actual game. Write a half page 'kickstarter' of your campaign world, with a brief overveiw of major events in your campaign, and again, MAJOR events. This could be important stuff from the area they are from, or from the world at large. Just don't get bogged down into details, as I said. I dunno, I realise I'm kinda rambling right now, but tell me if anything helped you figure this (fine line) out. Hopefully I'll make more sense another day :p cheers, --N [/QUOTE]
