[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1152066, member: 812"] Make a "Cool Stuff" list. Just jot down anything and everything you think is cool, even if it doesn't fit into your campaign world very well. Leaf through sourcebooks, history books, comics, whatever. Anything that makes you go, "Cool!", make a note, save a jpeg, whatever. Put the list away for a week. Spend time on other stuff -- drawing maps, doing up NPCs, all that good stuff. Then pull out that list and try stuffing as much as you can into your campaign. Be ambitious. Pirates, dinosaurs, intelligent volcanoes and vampire gods? Cool, fit it in. Giant desert cats, Mayan temples and an ocean of undead souls? Cool, make it work. Don't worry if it doesn't make sense now. It will. Somehow, you'll figure it out. A campaign that's full of stuff you think is cool is going to be more fun than anything else. You're going to be more excited about running it, and your players will be more excited about playing it. Cool stuff. You can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
