First I'd like to say that I am very new to EnWorld but love the site and the forums are great. Everytime I check in there's a lot of people helping each other out rather than the arguing on why people hate what or why thing are terrible or not that occurs on the Gleemax forums for D&D. Anyways I am making this thread in what is to be an up and coming project for me. A rather large project and a slow one as well. This project will start over the next few months and hopefully get somewhere and I'd like you lot to help me.
I'd like you to review monster stats, magic and wonderous items and potions, roleplaying material, everything. The "fluff" and the "crunch" of it all. This work started around two decades ago with my father's foray into D&D and his role as DM, much wanted fellow hero, and much dreaded adventurer to fellow DMs and PCs. As mainly a DM he has created this, what should I call it, a mini-setting if you would. Its like a self contained realm with its own history and events without any neccessity to be included or excluded from any campaign setting. He's thought on and off about it all these years using it or not whether hes DMing or isn't.
A decade ago when I was 11 he started getting me into D&D and his material and I in turn have introduced it to friends who are currently helping me to convince him to learn the new rules, throw them to the wind and use what he wants to and what he decides (that's his style whatever he likes plus whatever he says goes) and DM the Temple of Dhum for us liek he attempted while we were younger. Anyways, after a decade of talking about it he has over the course of the past year truely put his material to thought and paper now having 3 full notebooks and more coming.
This is where I come in. I am now old enough to grasp the mechanics as well as do real work to this project and thus I have had the first of the series of notebooks. I obtained it in September and refused to work on it until the new edition. Two reasons: 1) I was really excited and am really impressed with the new rules (although as DM there are many things I shall add and tweak but so is the DMs job) and 2) with a whole new edition coming out and my father wishing maybe to publish some work even if only to get it out there for a few people waiting for it would be the better choice.
So here I am now sitting with it open going over where to begin and I begon right here. I ask that whoever feels like it or sees updates to this thread put in there input. I do not know how frequent I will get things out but I am going to try. Being summer I don't have homework to worry about but I do have other responsibilities while waiting for classes to start and they include DMing my groups first 4e campaign and taking care of half a dozen reptiles. I will do as much as I can during the summer and during the school year and post some of it here. Please I ask you guys to look when you can and help if you can. Thank you if you've read this whole thing and thank you if you help me I'll try and post as often as possible to discuss the subject even if I don't get any real material up that often.
