Howdy folks,
I've a cool annecdote for you. As part of a project I've been working on, I've decided (actually needed) to create a comprehensive list of all the campaign worlds in my current Dnd campaign. Over the last couple of days, I've gone through my notes and tried to faithfully comprise my list, avoiding retconning and trying to forge a rational universe.
So, any guess how many game WORLDS (not cultural settings, which would be MUCH higher, but unique-and-distinct planets OTHER than the planes) I've actually run games on or at least exposed characters to?
Forty-six. Yup, 46 different campaign worlds in at least 12 distinct universes, not including the alternate ones. And actually most of these worlds (25) were the site of long-standing games, not just quick visits (I think Tyris=Flare gets the award for most worlds "trod on, albeit briefly"). And, there are another 10 which I've spelled out, but just haven't managed to get anyone too (either referenced in a scrolll, talked about in a vision, hinted out during spell-jamming, part of a PC-backstory, etc).
For what it's worth, I really WOULD like to try and create permanent parties on Torsh, Manëa and maybe Cidri or Eon. Especially those first two have ZILLIONS of adventures to choose from...! 'Course, there's also my desire for permanent parties in Zakhara (Arabia) and Kara-Tur (the Far East), the former being largely a fait accompli...
