Who invented the Scarred Lands?

[Geoffrey]

Gary Gygax created Greyhawk.

Dave Arneson created Blackmoor.

Ed Greenwood created the Forgotten Realms.

etc.

So who created the Scarred Lands?

Was is from the get-go a group effort? Or did one or two somebodies create it and then hand it off/have it taken away from them? Stephan and Stewart Wieck are the authors of the Scarred Lands Gazetteer: Ghelspad (which was the second Scarred Lands product published). Are the Wiecks the original creators? I have paged through a few later Scarred Lands products, and the Wiecks are not mentioned in the credits.

What's the story on the Scarred Lands?

Where is Nightfall when you need him?

I believe--but don't quote me on this, because I can't swear to it--that it was originally based on the personal campaign world of Steve and Stewart Wieck, co-founders and current owners of White Wolf. Obviously, it diverged greatly from their original setting the instant other people began writing/developing it, but I'm pretty sure that was the original source.

Nightfall had to binge on Anime for at time. Sorry.

And yes according to sources I recall, Ari is correct. Steve and Steward used their own campaign setting as the basis for Scarred Lands before refinements were made. And by refinements I mean before I got involved.

Ultimate gamer dream...make your own world a campaign and sell it.

Well it wasn't my world but I darn sure put my mark on it.

 

[Geoffrey]

Thanks for the info!

 

[Nightfall]

Glad to help.

Just curious, I am unknown to what you contributed to it.

Also, N, do you know where I can find a good online map of Termana?

Well besides that vast majority of my posts here in at EN World, all of which I distributed from info gleamed from most SL sources, I did work on the Player's Guide to Rangers and Rogues, as well as a few spell contributions for Player's Guide to Wizards, Bards and Sorcerers. I also had a monster contribution for CC 3.

Uhm I believe there was a decent on on S&SS' website. I'd have to look over my previous SL links.

Oh yeah, Dave Broham also made me an official NPC, Bl'ayne Nightfall.
