[QUOTE="Rugult, post: 4644931, member: 53273"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Having already posted briefly about this on my blog, I figured I would open up the floodgates to the ENworld forums. :devil: I've started work on my next Pathfinder campaign well in advance, having gone so far as to create the framework for both a Players/Game Masters guide. Much like ENworld's own War of the Burning Sky, and Paizo's Pathfinder Adventure Paths, I've taken the idea of giving out the player's a booklet beforehand so they get a feel for the adventure beginnings. The Game Master's guide is more of a booklet for overview information, but there are some new feats/spells hidden in there as well. Right now both books are really unfinished, a rough draft of campaign documentation I've assembled so far, but I really would like feedback on it thus far.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]To describe the actual campaign setting as a whole I’ll paraphrase my roomate’s thoughts.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][I]“The world has had its great apocalypse.
