[QUOTE="bobcat_grad, post: 5132260, member: 69786"] My play group and I have had discussions in the past about growing our own world from scratch. Something that we all contribute to an we all use as a setting for our adventures. When one of us picks up the mantle of DM, we would have a world to work with where we are writing the history, cultures, events, politics, heroes, villains, etc. With Eberron and Forgotten Realms (and other settings) much of this is already written and locked in stone. And if those settings (or others) appeal to you - fantastic. But some of us in our group wanted to shape a world from the ground up; picking and choosing what appeals to us and adding elements of our own to make it our own. This is something we kicked around for a while now, but I decided to take the first step to get it going. But shortly after starting, I realized that as much fun as I was having with letting my imagination run, there was a vast, untapped resource for good ideas out there: everyone else who plays D&D. So, I created a blog site to start tracking the progress of this project at [url=http://helpbuildtangia.blogspot.com/]Help Build A D&D World[/url] and would like to open up the project to everyone interested. Included there are maps, rough descriptions of continents and nations, a rough layout of the pantheon, a listing of the races in the world, and more. There are forums set up waiting for ideas to be tossed out and discussed. If you have an idea about a place or setting you've always kicked around or something you've been using for years and think it should have a permanent place in a world, let us know. I want this to be a community effort to build out a world that we can all contribute to, play in, and watch grow. Stop by for a minute and see if there is anything that catches your interest. Creative minds are more than welcome and encouraged. [/QUOTE]
