What's happened to your scrapped projects?

Do you still have any of it in an old file somewhere?

Sadly, no. I keep all my notes the old fashioned way, and when that campaign ended I tossed it away.

Well I've got it all as word files. I don't mind posting them here, or elsewhere if easier. And I'm cool with you using them as long as I get writing credits (and if millions get made then some sort of fair split of the spoils.)

It's heavy on the social/cultural aspects and all systemless (mostly cos when I started doing it I didn't have any gaming books.)

I've got most of in one big Word folder, that is regularly (once a year) cleaned of stuff. Since I'm a gearhead, it's usually full of houserules. Then I get fascinated by something else and ditch the old stuff. And then clean it up.

The last trigger was E6, then 4E, very quick, this time.

Cheers, LT.

OSM2 lurks, biding its time until the stars are right.

Ia! Ia! Module f'taghn!

I keep it on hard disk, or in paper format, or in my head, all ready to be recycled.

I must have about a dozen half-finished campaign settings. Some of the early 2E ones (from elementary school and junior high) have been trashed, a couple might be in a binder somewhere in my mom's garage. The best of my 3E settings used to have its own webpage, but alas, the host closed shop a long time ago and I can't find any of the files. More recent projects, I still have some notes scattered between three different laptops.

I really wish I had all this stuff in a box on my bookshelf, or all on my current laptop, so that I could at least look over it or pick through it for ideas.

Each Campaign goes into a 3 ring binder - or folder with pockets depending on size.
I have at least half a dozen. Some maps, lists of dieties etc. gets moved to new campaign folders. Some is handwritten others are printed.

If they were never used they are left as electronic versions only. In 2006 I burned it all to a CD. Half-formed ideas may end up in an "old gaming" folder on my computer or just deleted.

I also have a convention binder that has several 4 or 6 hour games, with pregen characters and wolrd info, along with each adventure.

The Great Hundred is non-profit, if that eases your mind at all (that's the project that I'm trying to dragnet these old campaign settings for, see the sig).

But the stuff (in wahtever form it turns into after getting shuffled around, edited, changed, and completely reworked a few times because it's a community project) will be released as OGC and CC-Attribution, so that any of the contributors can take the setting and do what they like with it. That could include commercial purposes - but you'd have the same rights of course.

You can see the sadly-aborted remains of my previous campaign and campaign setting at http://taintedlands.tiddlyspot.com/

Had to quit when we lost our playing space, and I've since sworn off D&D so there's no hope of continuing the campaign and I've no desire to revisit the setting. The thing that really killed it for me was the lack of gods. I've never liked doing pantheons, so I figured I'd just say no gods in this setting... And that made me realize how important a pantheon can be. In fact, the campaign was heading towards explaining why the gods were sealed off and letting them back in...

Well, EZ20 was relegated to the black hole of bad HDDs. I have an early proof on file at Lulu, though I'll have to download it, reformat it, and fix from memory all of the subsequent changes that were lost. And I don't really want to do that right now.
