[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9210871, member: 11"] I used to work on my homebrew D&D setting [I]A LOT. [/I] Aquerra, the setting I developed with the advent of 2E AD&D and that I adapted for play in 3E (though it might be safer to say I adapted 3E to it), started with about 30 pages in the summer of 1989 and by the time me and my group stopped using it (I had other DMs also setting their games there) in 2016, I had two binders of several hundred pages of info (not even including the house rules that went along with the feel of the setting). My current "Republic of Makrinos" setting for 5E, started as three typed pages of info about the starting town and info about the system of government and some local customs in 2020 and is currently a 21-page document that is growing (slowly) all the time (mostly due to having to flesh things out for campaign play, but also because sometimes I still get the itch to create something even if I don't have current plans to use it). Again, this does not include house rules/crunchy stuff - just people, places, customs, adventure hooks, history, etc. But maybe your way of doing things does? So my question is, if you are a setting homebrewer (even if your homebrew is based in part on an existing setting - for example, I have stolen liberally from Greyhawk and FR for NPC names/organizations and adventure sites) how much info do you have developed and how do you keep track of it? How many pages do these notes take up? EDIT TO ADD: I allowed for up to three votes on this poll in case some people have multiple homebrew settings.
