Free Article on Worldbuilding: Local Campaign Area Design Guide

[InkwellIdeas]

I've recently finished an article walking someone through the design issues of a Local Campaign Area. It is available at at this link or go to www.inkwellideas.com and look for the link in the left sidebar.

It covers:
-Terrain and Climate
-Races
-Cultures
-Technology
-Governments
-Settlement Types
-Settlement Sizes
-Drawing Settlements
-NPCs
-Creatures
-Fantasy Elements

A companion article with examples will be available shortly.

Constructive criticism welcome here, on the site in comments or through email. Thank you!

Also, this is part of a series I've begun. The previous installments are:
Worldbuilding: Fantasy Religion Design Guide
Worldbuilding: Fantasy Religion Design Example

I've added a follow up example local campaign area which uses the concepts described in the prior article. I hope it is useful when designing your campaign!
