That probably took about 20 hours to assemble.Additionally I drew the world map and detailed some areas that I wanted the group to know more about. I built a game world wiki to answer questions on specifics and wrote up a "player's intro" document. That was probably another 20 hours.I now spend about 4 hours a week (usually one evening a week) working on the next session and game-world design. We play once a fortnight for about 5 hours so this seems pretty reasonable to me.You can totally overdo campaign creation (and I have done in the past when I had a load more spare time) but mostly your players wont care as long as your games are fun. I hope this helps and good luck with you campaign!</blockquote>
