A Work In Progress

In my first post I stated that this campaign was being developed so that I could fit allof my future campaign needs into it.  Well, that's mostly true, but I have another campaign that I'm developing that wouldn't really fit into my Broken World campaign (see the One Shot Classics post in my DNDMW blog).  That campaign is set in the World of Greyhawk because of the way I intend to use classic adventures to mold the campaign from.  This is an itch I needed to scratch. But my true love is in creating original material, which is where my Broken World comes in.  Since I have two separate gaming groups, I will keep one in my home brew setting and the othe one in Greyhawk.

The Broken World is still a work in progress, despite the fact that I've already started running games in it.  A have most of the setting mapped out, but there's always room to bring in new ideas and/or modify existing ones that haven't quite worked as I originally envisioned.

For example, it occurred to me the other night while I was watching Supernatural, that my campaign would benefit from an angel/devil aspect that I didn't originally consider.  So now I'm thinking how I can fit this concept into the game as though it had been there all along.

I don't think that any campaign setting should be completely fleshed out, as you always need room to grow and expand on ideas as the campaign is played through.  Still, you need enough of a solid foundation so that the world feels complete, even though it's really not.  But that is art of the illusion that the DM must create to make the world come alive.
