The Campaign Builder's Guild

I'll throw in some ideas maybe, but I probably shouldn't get too involved.  Godswalk is supposed to be my focus right now, and with my computer situation, I might disappear for a while...

Meta-setting seems like it would be a good idea, cuz hey, we could all have our worlds linked to it somehow too.

Yes, but then there arises the problem of my Gods coming through a portal.  Can you say problem?

How would a meta setting resolve CS specifics, like Altvogge's resource points?

A meta setting would rely on an over-arching structure that, although consistant, wouldn't necessarily be completely dependent upon the specifics of an individual world.

In short, what happens in Altvogge stays in Altvogge, unless someone came to/from Altvogge. Mechanically, it would require a bit of judgement on the part of the DM.

so would we be building like, a sigil or something?

Something along those lines, though not necessarily contained in Sigil's scope: It doesn't have to be a single city. It doesn't have to be anything, really-- we can make a nexus from scratch.

Ick. I feel that a meta-setting disolves the coherance and flavor of each world unless they are linked in their very nature. I also think having som many creators working on their own "corner" will lead to major problems.

A core ethos statement is a shory summary of the entire setting. Here is Phaedoras' 25 word statement:

"In an ancient world ruled by primitive people, heroes of amazing skill battle colossal monsters.
This is Phaedoras, where amazing lands and epic adventure await."

Yeah, I'm kinda agreeing a little... I think I like the idea better of doing something slightly more generic and less esoteric, but that's just me.

I think we should possibly...  now just a thought mind you...  We could all make a core setting.  A setting to play any campaign(not setting).  Sorta like Greyhawk, but ours.

Just my thoughts...

By the way, here's a few guidelines we may want to borrow (steal) from GitP about the creation process:

God I love that series of articles. Seriously, quality work.

Well, it's pretty good, but though they do have a lot of good stuff, I very rarely see anything recent in progress... most of the stuff seems to be pretty old.

I think its in our best interest to have a seperate forum for the group campaign.    I expect we'll need multiple threads and polling.

should we just take outline for creation they have and work within it?  
it looks like its pretty well organized.

I think that it could be fun to make a setting as a group.Ã,  I wouldn't have enough time to contribute too much right now, but I graduate in June and that will free up a lot.

I think that making a meta setting would not be very fun, though.Ã,  I think that would pretty much ruin the point of having everyone working on one setting.Ã,  That's just my thought, though.
