Thus begins a series of...what - articles? Editorials?
Tutorials? Certainly not tutorials - do not do what I did. Uh-uh.
This poor blog has lost its purpose and momentum. So much
going on. Still, I want to try. This is me trying.
I'll start a series detailing the process of creating my
long-standing campaign world/setting/multiverse/what-have-you.
Why? Because I feel it will serve me well. Also, there are
actually a few people out there that have expressed curiosity.
Currently, I am in the throes of yet another restructuring
of my setting. I've had some thoughts and concerns. I've looked into the future
of my campaign and seen a few hurdles that I might avoid with some creative
effort now.
What will you have to look forward to? Mostly, an in-depth
and exhausting - sorry, exhaustive, account of how my campaign world developed
from the fitful beginnings...all the way to the fitful here-and-nows. I will
share my motivations, inspirations, ups, downs, zigs, zags, and offer glimpses
behind the curtain from time to time. It might not make much sense, but it
might give some of you the satisfaction of knowing you never had to suffer
through the process yourselves.
Why this title? Because this is something that should never have been written - but it is.
