For the last couple of years the secondary purpose of nearly every game I've run is to help build some kind of established setting. The idea was that doing so through playing would help guarantee two things;
A) It would help me establish things that would matter during a game, as opposed to filling it up with little details of varying interest and little use.
and
B) Hopefully I would come up with something that I (and other people) didn't get bored with after a year or so's worth of sessions.
So far, its actually been working. The trick has been to run whatever I wanted and gradually connect it to the "world" proper. This has ended up with something different then I originally figured it would (As can be seen in my obviously amateur attempt at an abstract map) but it works so well for me that I won't ever complain.
I've got various reasons to want to start writing it down properly (At the moment its a lot of disorganized notes and thoughts) and I figure It'd be nice to have it so that other people can look at it, so I'll try putting it up here.
Below is the current list of things I have notes on that I'd like to clean up and post. Think of it as a table of contents for my collected works on the setting, a sort of e-version of some absurd Arduin Grimoire style pamphlet. Hopefully I will also add links to this page as I write these, but who knows if I'll keep that up.
