[QUOTE="RainOfSteel, post: 3364397, member: 24460"] I've done that. I wrote a complete milieu gazateer, creation myth, history, nations, geography, gods, religion, races, classes, feats, languages, prices. It was 200+ pages long. The amount of effort you should put into your should be based on how much time and effort you think your players will put into reading it. If they're all busy people who devote their out-of-game time to their own pursuits and life, chances are, they may not get to read it all, or if they do, they probably won't retain critical information for long. You may want to write all thumb-nail sketches and keep everything as brief as possible. Stick more to the cruch of necessary game mechanics. If they all have plenty of spare time and you know they'll give your material the time it deserves, then you may want to be more detailed and extensive in what you produce. You can lavish more on the milieu and expect it to have a cognizant impact. Your group may contain a mixed population of both types. [/QUOTE]
