[QUOTE="DaemonBolo, post: 426492, member: 7568"] As I work for a d20 company and I am creating a setting for them, I can assure you that it is far more difficult than it sounds. A few things that you have to consider when your creating one. Internal storyboard: You have to create a storyboard for the writers, one for the GMs and one for the players as each group deals with different pieces. The whole, myth was one reality scenario. Cosmos: Stars, planes.... Then you need to look at races. Do you want PHB standard? What soceity will each race have? Customs? Dress? Religion? Holidays? For a world setting you really need to detail the races more. It also tends to flesh out the world. History: You have to have a comprehensive history for the world. You need myths, popular heroes of old, villains, wars, peace, philosophies... Nations: Population? Diversity? Economy? Landmarks? Military? Technology? Magic? Classes: Which ones do you want? Are they the same? Different? Religions: Gods, temples, clerics, what does it mean to worship Nuthead? Crunchy bits: Prestige classes, magic items, unique materials, artifacts....these advance your world mythos and allow you to give it a feel. Magic: How it works, new spells and feats.... Monsters: MM standard, new, variations? Best to have templates for everything to make it uniform. You'll want to gather the same info for all your races and gods etc. Just a few things you need to look at......it can get complicated. [/QUOTE]
