[QUOTE="Ourph, post: 3477276, member: 20239"] You were responding to my post as if I were saying "The world is perfect because everybody makes this choice", which isn't the case. It seems to me that you [u]don't[/u] disagree with the comment, you just think not enough people are taking my advice (which is something I'm in total agreement with ;) ). No, I phrased it as a question because I wasn't sure if that was the type of advice LostSoul was looking for. :edit to add: The truth is, I'm about exactly the opposite of what you are describing as a worldbuilding GM. I have stacks of legal pads in my office at home with setting stuff that I've written for my Warhammer campaign (either original stuff or modifications of official setting material) and only about 10% of it ever gets the "two week approval". "Two week approval" means I put it aside and look at it two weeks later. With 90% of it I reread it and say something along the lines of "What was I thinking? This is drivel. There's no way this is making it into the campaign!". It's never occured to me that the 90% is "wasted effort". Without the 90% bad stuff that gets written, the 10% that's good wouldn't exist. Plus the 90% bad isn't ALL bad. Sometimes good a idea is just badly executed. Rewriting is as important as writing for a good author/DM. [/QUOTE]
