[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 1274105, member: 627"] I have always prefered homebrew over pre-packaged. When I was in the military I dropped homebrew in favor of pre-packaged as our groups were usually pretty fluid and short lived so it helped that folks came to the table with a certain amount of assumptions and familiarity. It got the game on its mery way faster. I am in the 6th full re-write of my campaign world now. Mainly because life does not afford me the time for a steady group. So I apease myself with writing sessions. I agree with all advice given here. Introduce those elements of your world that are relative to the current situation or characters. Everything else if just sort of out there and unknown. I am a big beleiver in this as a whole even if the palyers are desperately interested in the world. I try to limit info to character knowledge. I use lots of words like "it seems" or "so everyone believes". Some times the player ends up caring through the course of the campaign because their character discovers a new truth or dispells some sort of long held myth. Knowledge is power even to the characters. [/QUOTE]
