Most Awesome Campaign Newsletter Ever

[Rahkan]

Okay, I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but anyone who wants to see world creation gone mad has got to read this campaign newsletter I wrote a few years ago when I was in the 10th grade. It really is work of art, and I'm pretty sad that no one got to read it (I had more fun writing campaign newsletters than playing campaigns). So please go check it out, just for a few moments, it really is close to my heart and maybe you'll enjoy seeing a snapshot of this world (whose exact details even I've forgotten).

T.R.U.T.H - The Campaign Newsletter of the Redstone Setting

Holy cow.

How often did you do these? And did the players read the whole thing? It's really cool, but... damn.

 

[Henry]

Truly, that is some SERIOUSLY good work.

Lots of hidden stuff buried by chance?

 

[ltclnlbrain]

Very, very nice. I heartily agree with your assessment: a work of art by any measure. If only more of us had time to create such beauty...

Jesus this forum moves fast. It's been awhile since I last posted here actively. Anyway, no player in fact ever read this, and I only ever did one newsletter. But I did create a whole huge history for this campaign setting and sixteen original races (I was going to break out of the elves/dwarves mold...hah!). No player ever played in that world.

As for time...well...it was high school. What can I say?

Slick. A friend of mine did a similar thing - a newspaper for a large city. Part of a short campaign.

My god, that put's all my crappy handouts to shame

But seriously, that was pretty cool. Musta of had a lot of free time?

My wife and I do something similar to this for the Waterdeep tournament games we run. Although we run it every 3 or 4 months AND we only make it one page.

The cool thing is that we put lots of hints and clues into the newsletter. It shows us which groups are on the ball and which ones aren't

 

[Crothian]

wow, that is very impressive!!

 

[Buttercup]

Wow. That thing is fabulous! I'd love to see some of your original races, and a map if you have one.
