I am having the damnedest time ressurecting this bad boy...

How is my demonic general supposed to lead my legion of undead threads to genocidal victory?

You, of course, are not requesting a resend, are you?

haha... no, I have it already. I was getting this resurrected so that I wouldn't confuse people that had missed it the first time, or forgotten it, as I start to add to 'em all...

And I'll let you decide on the following offer:

If Spike agrees, I have all of this original studies on one big bad-ass word document.  That is, I have it all until he resurrected this stuff recently.

I don't recall having the dragons or some of the other stuff.

But if Spike's OK, and he'll tell us here, I offer it.

I'm OK with that. I thought the original idea was to put all the collected stuff somewhere on the site anyway. Its been a while and I have crap memory...

An Update! Oh my faaking Gawds!

No, really.  Recently looking to get this all published up as a vanity project I was talking to some freelancers, but was rejected... sort of.

It seems I'm a bit TOO generic.  Haven is in dire need of a hook. I'm sure there is one in all this mess, but I'm damned if I can put my finger on it exactly.  Also, if this were done as a world atlas product (and for the curious, I am once again in contact with my Map Man... the map of Haven is getting tightened up, mano!), what sort of voice would people like? The GURPS style 'just the facts, ma'am.' that I sort of default to, or the wonky, wild-eyed psuedo-victorian monographs of the, say, metallurgical studies?

Also: I've been sorting out the timeline and collecting abandoned names to reduce error and redundancy/incompleteness. If anyone wants me to make some changes, speak now or forever hold yer stones!

Gah!

Forgot: In the effort to make this a bit more accessable, I think I'll, essentially, write out the Halflings and the Kobolds, reducing the number of 'important races'. Kobolds are redundant with the Goblins (which I think I'll keep to just Goblins, rather than the full spectrum of goblinoids from D&D), and the Halflings can stay in the deep south in their Yuib Trees, forgotten unless someone has a real halfling fetish.  I'll also try to set up some sort of outline for general perusal, a method of approaching the material... in case I DO go ahead and organize it as a book.

So, any advice anyone wants to offer there is acceptable as well...

Holiday bump.  Jeebus, I forgot all you pinkskins take time off this time of year....

Good God man, take a day off.

Haha... Actually, I just went from eight hours seven days a week, to 12 hours three days at a time... so I actually DO have a day off now.

In three days.


Edit: Also... no comment on the previous post before the bump?  No one?  Damn holidays!

Woah...that's...huge!

I haven't had the time to read through it all (to be honest, just the first page) but i liked what i saw.

Is there a game system you use this world with?
And nice map, by the way! Hope to see a higher resolution of it, you can't really zoom in right now.

Are you planing on offering this up as a free download or is this going to be a product to purchase?

I originally conceived of it as a generic setting, suitable for MOST fantasy games. I mostly have run it in Mongoose Runequest, but I've also used Pathfinder/3.5E D&D for shorter games in the same setting with plenty of success.

With a little refinement on my part and some money outlays, I hope to have something that is at least a lulu product, if not more ambitious.

However, I'm a swell guy, and there are links to a document file in the thread that should get you the main contents of the thread (compiled by a reader), and I have no intention of ever being dickish about copyrights... something I've said numerous times about this. Feel free to use and abuse it as you like, fer free even.

The sticky in the Development sub-Forum has a LOT of extra links once I realized this thread had gotten too long for me to convienently find things I had written.  

Enjoy!
