Sandbox World in 4th

[Byronic]

I want to create a massive Sandbox world for a long term 4th edition campaign.

The idea is that the players are explorers mapping out the world, finding out legends, new cities and cultures and civilisations and wiping out dangerous threats if possible. Think of it as a mix of Anthropologists, DnD Adventurers and Indiana Jones all in one.

The problem is that while I am ambitious, I am not as experienced as I would like.

Could someone recommend any books or magazines that would help me.

For example, I've heard that earlier Dragon magazines had info on sandboxes but I have no idea which ones.

Or any other sources of information.

Are you looking for info on how to build your own?

If not just that, than have you seen the Wilderlands of High Fantasy by Judges Guild? Put out by Necromancer games?

You are thinking of the original Dungeoncraft articles? They used to be available online, but I do not have the link on this computer. Someone else probably has it or maybe you can google it.
