[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7076038, member: 6804070"] @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=37579"]Jester David[/URL][/U][/B][/I], I (too) really like the look of those color tabs. Don't think my setting will be that big I would need them, but I'm not sure there's not a reason to make them, or something like them, even if I only do a PDF and not a print ready one. It's really centered on one nation and the bordering lands (which are mostly uninhabited/uncivilized). A digital format would have to be something I could zip and distribute through DMsG (since this would be to support adventures sold there). But, html and maybe some wiki formats would work. Not sure. There will definitely be a Fantasy Grounds version, but that would be in addition to a PDF. I agree there has to be an Introduction. Something to bring the place alive. To give both the DM and players an interest. Plus to reveal a lot of the common knowledge. After that, it's can get very encyclopedia like, so you already have to have an interest in the place. All, Definitely an index with good chapters and sub-chapters/headings. In no order, these are the chapters I'm thinking; - Introduction - History - - Legends - - Historical Events - Locations - - Regions - - Settlements - - Places of Interest - Organizations - Current Events - Personalities (NPCs) - Religion & the Gods - Races & Demographics - Character Creation Within each chapter/sub-chapter to have everything arrange alphabetically except in history, where things would be chronological. I'm thinking not to put towns within the regions section. This is more like talking about a general area (such as the Broken Plains or the High Coast). Then the cities within the High Coast would be placed alphabetical in the Settlements section. I think that would help prevent confusion on finding them, i.e. what region is that in? I still have to think more about the Ptolus sidebars. Seems like a lot of sidebar space. But maybe. [/QUOTE]
