The Campaign Builder's Guild

I could also just do this.


All hail uploading!

Yay! The mighty upload option strikes again!

EDIT: I really need to go back and read you updates...I've been wrapped up in the TWF thread, and my own campaign for a few days, and have really neglected my duties to the community. I shall repent, and read more about UN.

The area near the south is a greenish color on here.  On my computer it was more brown than that.  It is meant to be a desert, though I am not sure if I will keep it or not.

Those blue lines are not rivers.  That was a bad color choice.  They are the borders of the Baronies.  I have only named three of the Baronies and Farthing is the only one that I am sure will stick with the same name.

Because of Un's position in the world, the name of the South Sea is likely to change, though it may remain the same for the people of Un.  The white area on and around the Sooth Mountains is snow.  The lightly colored edge of the land is meant to be beach area.  I don't know now why I bothered to put that on there.  There is another sea to the west, I just didn't have room to name it.

That is all for now.  Thank you, come again.

Thank you.  I would appreciate that.  I wish the updates had added a lot more, but my time is limited.

After re-reading your original presentation post-errata, I really like it. While it is strikingly similar to the gunslinger, I am a fan so that doesn't bother me too much. Take careful effort to emphasise the differences of your setting from the work of Steven King. Not so much because of any silly copywrite reasons, but because you don't want people like me to know too much, before we get started.

I love the mace (does it have a name?) and high priest who is responsible for tempering the power of the emperor. That is a fantastic way to keep things interesting in an otherwise peaceful empire.

Keep the stuff coming, and don't worry too much about the map. So long as I can reference it for simple details it'll do fine for now. I can read the new big version, and that's good enough for me.

I may have to change things some.  While I am a fan of the Dark Tower, the world was not meant to be anything really like it.

I think that Bodin's mace should have a name, I just haven't decided what it should be.  I think that mace adds a good checks and balances system.  It gives the High Priest the power to eliminate the Emperor.  However, if he were to do so, he would obviously have to answer to the people.  Also, it would be easy for the Emperor to have someone eliminate the Hight Priest at any time, but he would also have to answer to the people at that time.

That is exactly what I was going for with the map.  It has the major things, but not too much detail (yet).

map:    is your scale correct?  @ 1000 miles/ 1/2inch that makes each of your countries roughly the size of russia at it's widest point.

im not saying it cant be,  it just seems like it would be extremely difficult to get anywhere.   considering it would take well over 200 days to walk across 1 country, or over 25 days on a horse at a dead run.

from east coast to west coast, the US is 2500 miles wide. (fyi)

The scale is a little off yet, but Un is big.  It is a very rough draft.  It was done in Pain in 15 minutes.

ok,  if you're using paint, i might can help a little.

Paint.NET   this is a free program designed to replace the default paint program.

after you download, and install it, it will tell you that you need the '.NET framework' and will automatically send you to this page to get it.

its totally free and about a billion times more powerful than MSpaint.

:new: This is my first post on this site!

I have this realy crazy idea that involves the goblins for you, if you are interested. But requires the existance of dragons, specificaly the red dragon, as presented in the monster manuel. And more willing suspension of disbelief. Two words just to tease: Red Mohawks.

In my world, dragons do not exist as presented in the monster manual.

Hey, I know we don't have a campaign hosting feature yet, but I would really appreciate being able to read details without sifting through discussion. Just presenting the new material in recognizable posts or having a table of contents on the first post would rock.

I'm also looking for a core ethos statement, an introduction or a summary. Any of these would be great! :D

Always demanding,

I'll give it to somebody else then.

ok,  ignore the rest of these chumps (present company excluded...), but i want to hear more about Un.

gimme a PM if you want some help w/ the hosting.

i'll write you out an HTML template too if you want...   i just wanna hear more!.

(in case you can't tell, your calendar alone sold me on the world...  and i'm sure its rare for someone to fall in love with a calendar...)

so, do you Dm within your setting?  or are you still designing?

I haven't done much work for my setting recently, but I am now back.
