That particular campaign has been ended, but the player character's barony is still there, now a vital part of the overall campaign setting. Though the player's character is now deceased, the player's descendents rule the barony. The player who played the original founding character plays in new campaigns of mine, but still likes to hear about the descendants of her other player character, and what's going on. Fun stuff!I have several players in the current campaign that have plans to either gain land by reward, or to step out and found their own independent kingdoms. I have one player character who has married the Crown Prince of the Vallorean Empire, and is still grappling with the reality that when her husband's father dies or retires, that she will be the next Empress and High Queen of the Vallorean Empire, an empire of over 200 million people, and the largest, most powerful empire in the West. Needless to say, she is both thrilled and apprehensive about the prospect at the same time.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I have numerous articles that I have contributed here that discuss my own philosophy, as well as many aspects of my campaign world. Use the Search function, and they should be fairly easy to find. In addition, there are a few things I believe of mine that you might find of interest in EN-World's Archive section.I am in discussions with Mongoose Publishing to publish my campaign world, as well as other possibilities and avenues to publish aspects of my campaign world. I am also employed with Natural 20 Press to publish several adventures that closely resemble my campaign world, as well as other projects.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Solous, I'm glad that you have such an interest in my campaign world! If you ask around here a bit, you will find many other fans that have been inspired by my world, as well as my contributions here for several years now.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> As you mentioned, my approach is not embraced by every gamer, but you will find, I think, a good number of people that agree that my approach is inspiring, epic, and quite realistic and logical, one that integrates epic magic and epic campaigning into a vast world in an enjoyable, consistent manner.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Feel free to ask additional questions, as you desire.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
