All Kinds of Fun!
Reading around Dragon’sfoot, a poster submitted a two page write-up for a campaign area. (Link to thread here.) The submission was a write up for the Principality of Kedmere.
This is a concise and easily adaptable summary of a campaign area, complete with a map. Major cities and towns get a good description along with population, leaders, and other important details.
It is easy to imagine that providing more detail to areas within Kedmere could be done with a similar two page write up. For example, a writeup on Belmord complete with city map, building details, etc.
All in all this is an excellent way of presenting broad areas of the campaign world. I can get lost in centuries of history, but this straight-to-the-point presentation is ‘just right’.
Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.
For what it is worth, feel free to use anything that you see on the site. It is not copyrighted or even placed under a Creative Commons License. Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of. Restrictions on ideas and games can delay innovation, even simple restrictions can be an impediment. Sure, I'd like a link and to be given credit, but that's up to the person.
