[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 9013178, member: 6750306"] Years ago, I had a fairly standard idea for an adventure: You're on your way to another adventure when you experience an earthquake... As you pass by the nearby swamp, a very panicky and deeply concerned lizardman tries to gain your attention, and explains in broken common that the water in the swamp has drained away, lowering the water level severely and exposing the entrance(s) to some long lost Dwarven ruins... I was dumb enough to decide that I would resurrect that idea for my [I]Dungeon23 [/I]project in an attempt to motivate me to finally get it all written down and drawn up. Five months in, I've yet to draw [I]any of the actual dungeon[/I], but I've created a new campaign world, six continents, written up at least two thousand years of history, created close to a hundred named npcs so far, and drawn detailed maps for over a thousand square miles of campaign area around the dungeon... :rolleyes: I have political intrigue going on, pirates, an ancient magical cataclysm that turned a nearby Elven Forest into the "Stonelands" and dropped 200 square miles of coastline into the ocean, sea elves who may or may not be the remnants of the forest elves, a hundred square miles of swamp covering the small Dwarven mountain that [I]sank into the ground[/I], aquatic carrion crawlers, fifty square miles of ancient forest that's actually just one single sentient tree and its offspring, a vanished wizard who may or may not be currently un-vanished, battles over logging rights, culture clashes, a town where everyone has secrets and the local pastime is minding your own damn business... It's really, really ballooning out of control, lol. I really hope someday I get to run it. [/QUOTE]
