[QUOTE="Turtlejay, post: 5095830, member: 70267"] I've been lurking this board for a few days, poking around to see if there is any advice along the lines I'm looking. I haven't found any. And since I know the posters at ENWorld are such a creative bunch, I figured I'd post and see if I could get some help. I'm currently not in a good place to DM much. I work too long, and have too much on my plate to devote regular time to DMing. But I miss it. I really, really loved the creative outlet that it gave me, and even though I can't do what I'd like, harnessing all that empty time (driving, showering, falling asleep, staring into space) towards something . . .exciting, would be great. I'd like to build a homebrew setting of my own. I have given it a shot on one other occasion, and realized that it was a lot of work. More than I was willing to take on at the time. With no need to use it anytime soon, this is the perfect time to lay out the details of my ideal home setting. What I'm looking for is any advice on how to do so. When I first had this thought, a rush of ideas flooded through me, and I posted some of them on my blog. I kind of regret it, because I moved too soon. I think the details I posted (my blog is in my sig, I won't repost them, but they are there for the curious) are fine, but it is like drawing just the left eye of a fine painting. . .before you have even sketched out the form of the subject. I really need to start bigger and work in. So, this post is soliciting advice. I have some general ideas I'd like to post, but I'll hold off, as I feel this is a wall o' text too long for comfort already. . . Jay [/QUOTE]
