Okay, this is not directly related to our game. Just to tell, but I don't see the need to begin a new thread for that...
I spent all my week-end working on my next Warhammer d20 campaign. As always when I try to prepare a setting, this has become an incredibly huge project. At first I thought: "Great, I just need to get this World of Warhammer atlas, then my copy of Grim tales, and I am ready to go. But no... I then began to search on the Internet and download material, compile documents I already had on my hard drive regarding various D&D subjects, and finish a netbook of classes I had begun for a similar project a while ago. It has again become a colossal endeavor...
For instance, there will be a netbook of classes for this setting. Because I finally decided that the six basic GT classes are not enough. Now there are not only these six, but also 14 core classes (non-spellcasting classes from PHB, UA, AU, Relic & Ritual: Excalibur, and a couple of new classes), and 14 prestige classes (most new and from me, fortunately already writen). Then, I have decided for a new magic system inspired from GT and Slaine d20 (see two thread in d20 forums, where I have begun pondering about it).
But then, I plan to do three (!!) other netbooks! One of them is almost already written (just needs be adapted), and is an encyclopedia-gazeteer of the Old-World, that I found on a website. The other will be a large compilation of NPCs, thus giving me the incentive to finish those "d100 NPCs threads" I began a while ago in the Rogue Gallery forum. Lastly, there will be a netbook describing the world (with plenty of illustrations), for the players to get the ambiance and flavor of it. I just hope I won't have any problems for I will shamelessly put into it many pics scanned from my Warhammer book, or found on the Internet. I in fact believe that giving such a document to the characters is essential to put them into the ambiance...
Lastly, I want to merge this setting with Beyond Countless Doorways by Monte Cook. You see, this supplement is clearly inspired by Moorcock's cosmology, and this is what I like in Warhammer: this Chaos vs Law stuff (I know it wasn't meant that way, but I will in my campaign). Another thing is that I always loved the Renaissance for a setting, and have for a long, long time thought about running such a campaign (already tried it in AD&D 2e, and it was great fun). You see, it reminds me of another Moorcock's novel that I love: "The Warhound". Of course, this novel include parallel planes as in traditional Moorcock fashion, hence my desire to combine Beyond Countless Doorways and Warhammer...
Well, thanks to those who will have read my Sunday's ramblings...
