so, tired of the settings others make and the homebrew i currently am using, i have decided to make a new one.
the plan for the world involves alot of player input. ie pc x is from such and such place and he is like this, alot of people from such and such are like that as well. i'm starting with no pantheon, little more then a couple of barbarian tribes running around in the wilderness, which has not even been mapped out yet. no monsters to speak of and only humans as a playable race to begin with though i plan to have occurances in which there are offshoots of the race perhaps becoming typical races perhaps something different. my plan is with the help of my players in campaign to flesh out the world. you know, all the gods will be ex pc's or major npc's if i get an idea, typically nobody but me plays evil all that well or often. the kingdoms will be created in whole by pc's and their decendants will rule them. they will help me come up with the cultures of the various nations or tribes. this will probably take a few years before the world gets into full swing.
essentially i am leaving it to the players to create their own mythology as we go.
i suppose i am looking for the voice of experience in something like this, how did it turn out, what would have done differently, do you think my idea is so stupid that you must try to make me see how stupid it is? has anyone tried this, starting with nothing?
