[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 2814533, member: 7177"] Lot of people have put their own homebrew fantasy worlds online. The strongest motivation usually is to see these worlds in some coherent written form. Being able to share it with lots of other people is a nice, added bonus. Yet in the end, we all crave feedback. We want others to tell us what they liked about our setting, what they didn't like, and how it could be improved in someways. Unfortunately, there are many, many homebrew worlds out there, and any single one is likely to get lost in that vast sea of information unless its creators go to some extra effort to promote it. Personally, for my [URL=http://juergen.the-huberts.net/dnd/urbis/index.html]own setting[/URL], I have created a [URL=http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/urbis/]mailing list[/URL], but so far it has not seen much in the way of fruitful discussion - for the most part, I have mentioned my latest website updates there, and that was it. Recently, I have started a [URL=http://urbis.comicgenesis.com/]webcomic[/URL] set in that world, but since this is still a relatively recent effort, it is hard to say how this will work out. I have also installed a shoutbox on both the comic and the main setting page which will hopefully be a more convenient way of giving feedback than sending emails or even joining the mailing list. And as I prepare running an online adventure for a GURPS Eberron campaign for the first time, I find myself pondering running some online games set in that world as well - this will cause people to actually [i]play[/i] the setting (as opposed to just reading it) and give me more insight into how to improve the world - and the chat logs might make for good reading, too... So, what have you done to promote [i]your[/i] homebrew? Did you use some special website design tricks, or have you done other promotional efforts? [/QUOTE]
