renau1g's Fort Belurian Adventure [Pathfinder] - OOC

I got that Greyhawk Boxed Set, too. It is pretty cool. The best thing about it imho is that cool vinyl map. But, while I enjoyed reading the Gazeteer, it just never felt right to me to set any games there. I mean, it felt to me like if I set a game there, I would be stealing or something. Anyway, that was back when I was young, dumb, and full of .... stuff. I had lots more ideas back then. They weren't terribly GOOD ideas, you understand, but I had just tons of 'em anyway.

I played/DMed lots of games in Greyhawk. And in the Realms. And in my own Homebrew. And...lol. I figured that's what they were there for.

A large part of the fun I have had with the game I'm now running with Scotley has been creating the city of Lauralie Summerhome and its world, Tara. And we still have LOTS more stuff than you guys have any hint of.

I think one of my frustrations with the homebrew setting I did for my HEROs game was just that - all the stuff I had going on behind the scenes (past, present and future) that the players never got more than a hint of. Maybe if I'd been co-creating it so there would have been someone to share it with it would have been better.

I agree with this too. Though I tend to enjoy all the stuff I've got going on behind the scenes. LOL.

I was playing Greyhawk even longer than that. I remember getti the Greyhawk Campaign Setting in like '83 for Christmas. I was SOOOO excited. It is still perhaps my favorite boxed set ever.

I remember that boxed set as well. I got it about the same time.

Grayhawk spawned a lot of homebrew Ideas for me way back then. Unfortunately, I was caught up in the pseudo-religeos fanatisium of d and d is evil campagn and destroyed a lot of stuff that would have great value to a collecter. *Le Sigh*

I am part of a table top colaberative campagn with my dm for the purpose of fleshing out his world. It is reall fun as I get to be a part of some of the world intrigue going on in his homebrew campagn.

I gotta tell you that co-creating is a lot of fun. Of course I had a really great co-creater to work with too. Having a wiki to work together on made it really easy.

as for co-conspirators, er, I mean co-creators, I can only say ditto and likewise to what scotley said about having great co-creators

I don't know, man, I think my co-DM is better than yours! But I agree that the wiki was a wonderful tool to have. Early on, we were using emails to swap ideas, and, while still better than the old days, it wasn't as good as the wiki.

Its unfortunate, but happens. I remember DMing for a couple of friends when I was about 13-14. When their parents found out, they forbid them from hanging out with me ever again. I was confused...I was like..."It's just a game, and you usually kill demons and devils. What's wrong with that?" LOL.

I'm definitely going to have to work on a wiki for my game. It looks like it allows for some really cool things.
