I must say, I'm extremely impressed by your level of detail. I would love to have the time to do that for my party, but I just don't. I can't imagine the feel that there would be in a game like that!
Currently in my personal library for my game world I have six 3" binders, two 2" binders, and seven 1" binders all with information I have personally written detailing my game world of Krinthius!
One of my 3" binders simply contains all the boats that the world has. It has laminated color pics of every boat that the players could get aboard. They go from huge galleons to small row boats all to scale for miniatures. Each boat has a detailed description outlining everything from its hardness, speed, persons needed to reach maximum speed, attacks, any magic, crew required, etc. Every boat detailed to the maximum. This has come in handy on the few occasions that my groups have needed a boat. However, the huge binder with maybe 150 pages is used maybe only 5 times a year! However, it is awesome that when the group does go for a sea voyage I have so much detail to throw out to them!
My maps ARE HUGE! They are not included in the books. I am not talking about simple 8x12 maps.
I would love to see these as well (and steal them, muahahahaha), especially without the dragon in the way - though he is a cool dragon.What about posting up the high res image as a jpg for people to use? I'd love to see that first town map in the original digital format. That would be great to use for when I need a quick generic section of a town. There are so many locations to choose from on a single map.
As I said, not trying to stir up any battle, but that is nice. I don't have paragraphs or multiple sentences written out for each of my npc's because in truth I know how they are in regards to their personality and traits (I play them out as I know they are). I do, however, have each and every encounter they have had with group members listed down on their character sheet along with a detailed description of what happened. This has come in extremely useful! It is great when I can bring up something relevant from years back or something that had happened to a previous pc which involves a current player! That is always fun!I was in a campaign once where the DM wrote a seven sentence description for each named NPC
Isn't that a bit much for a character sheet? I can understand players keeping detailed information on what is important to them during the campaingn, but a character sheet of 150 pages seems a bit much? How can that even be referenced in a game? I am just guesing here, but do you mean that you had additional information written for your character/campaign for reference when needed and the character sheet was only 1 or 2 pages (not including spell sheets)? Curious? When I make character sheets for the players I try to make them as compact as possible (1 page - front and back). More than 1 sheet simply bogs down the game. I like the game to be fast paced without players constantly having to shuffle through multiple pages of information. I do recognize that character sheets are very personal to each campaign.My character sheet for my PC extended out to around 150 pages alone
That sounds fantastic! Would love to get more ideas and information. What did you include in your boat descriptions. I have included a sample boat description which I use to compare.we out depthed and detailed you on boats by a ton, not just in the type of boats, but in how much we could tell you about them.
