Getting started

Almost everyone who plays RPGs enjoys building campaign settings and filling them with interesting opportunities, and I am no exception.

I've tried to make a few settings in the past, but they always end up an unused collection of notes stuffed in a box never to be seen again. I'm back for another go, and it will be interesting to see if using a blog lengthens the life and usefulness of the project.

I think the main thing it will add is the ability to relate my ideas by category, and provide an opportunity for my players and anyone else interested to comment on things as they unfold. On the negative side, I'll need to avoid getting caught up in playing around with snappy blog features that don't actually help me get any content together.

I've called the site rpg-collage, because so much of what I want to build on is the great ideas I've come across in heaps of other roleplaying games. So a lot of what I present isn't original (I will also note the source of ideas I present), but I like to think that the way I am combining and using them is original - so for now I'll have to settle for that.
