Hi All,
As you may have heard, a new website devoted to collaborative world-building launched yesterday. The site is called Eruvian.com and is designed to allow creative GMs to craft and publish their own homebrewed content in an online format (with some of the best stuff possibly being released in print at some point in the future).
I'm looking for 10 creative GMs to help build and publish a locale called Hydanham in Eruvian's flagship setting of Pelagos. The setting already has a small team of contributors that have produced over 250 pieces of published content. However, the Eruvian system is designed to allow tens, hundreds, possibly even thousands of GMs to collaborate, taking ownership of various locales and fleshing them out.
These 10 GMs will form the foundation for a further expansion of the development team. The end goal is to create a setting with hundreds of maps, thousands of characters, several possible campaigns (each with a dozen or more adventures) and tons and tons and tons of detail, ready to be used. The hope is that creative GMs will step up and take ownership of different locales - anything from an inn to a town to an entire kingdom - and use the Eruvian toolset to coordinate their efforts.
Anyway, anyone think it's possible for such a project to succeed? The opinions of naysayers are welcome to, but please check out the site and its capabilities before writing the concept completely off.
Cheers!
