[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 2403492, member: 1288"] Okay, so we've had a lot of polls, over the years, asking how many DMs prefer to use homebrew settings, vs. how many prefer pre-published ones. What I'd like to know, though, is not where you are [i]now[/i], but where you started out. When you ran your first campaign, was it a prepublished setting, or a homebrew? Now, in some cases--such as myself--DMs start out using the "default" information in the book, but without really giving any conscious thought to how that info fits into a world. By that definition, I started with The Known World, and shifted swiftly to Greyhawk, but I had no sense of them as worlds. It wasn't until I'd played for a year or two that the notion of a "campaign world" even really entered my mind. So, let's skip that stage, and jump to the point where you actually had some grasp of what a campaign world [i]is[/i]. Please answer the question from that point... [/QUOTE]
