Your homebrew - how big?

[Wormwood]

I got to just under 20 typewritten pages when the campaign dissolved.

Now I'm alone with my bitterness. This game would be wonderful if it weren't for the stupid players.

I don't really see how page count has anything to do with determining whether or not a setting is homebrew, but my stuff usually runs about 20 pages, though occasionally, it'll go 70+, and often it is half a page of notes.

I'm just amazed at how many 100+ homebrews there are out there. And even some 1000 page ones to boot! Wow, that's a lot of devotion. I'm far too wishy washy, I think, to stick with a single campaign concept for that long.

But this gives me an idea for a new thread...

Maybe we should be more specific? I don't consider house rules (unless they're very world specific) and campaign notes to be part of a homebrew. A homebrew is a home-made campaign setting. That's it.

I have one page of general house-rules for the current game (I set a limit). But dozens and dozens of pages of campaign specific crunch

I've got around 250 pages all told in 8 different documents for my homebrew. We adventure in an area of the world, it gets detailed, and then we move on to a totally different part for the next campaign.

My first homebrew that I used the longest, but stopped using about 8-10 years ago ended up with at least 150 pages if you count the maps. Probably closer to 120 pages if you don't count maps. I loved those maps. I wrote all kinds of things, though, timelines, NPC writeups, city stats, and even laws for some of the more strict areas. Then one day I bought a Planescape box because we were doing a short trip to the planes and... well... the homebrew was shelved. ^^;

Nowadays, I use Planescape, and often "homebrew" a part of it, wherever the main action is going to take place. So I guess my real answer is my homebrew is a published setting.

It's all in my head. When it escapes it will be around 21-50.

Now that I put everything on computer, I measure it in megs. Lemme go check....

61.6 MB on drive #1.
57.4 MB on drive #2.

That's all typed in Word Perfect 5.1 format. (Some of it is duplicated, a file on each hard drive.)

World of Kulan >> 400+ pages in multiple Word Documents. This doesn't include most of my character descriptions and the sections of documents that haven't been completed yet.
