Gygax 75 Challenge - Week 2: Surrounding Area

So, we return with the next part of the Gygax 75 Challenge - making a campaign setting from scratch over 5 weeks.

Intro

Part 1

The second section is about creating "the surrounding area", the starter point for the game - launching point of (hopefully) many years of adventures!

Gygax 75 Challenge - Week 1: The Concept

So, Week 1 begins!

I have am easy start here, because I already have most of the concept in mind. I want D&D Does Pirates, rather than just a lightly-reskinned D&D game. The setting becomes an important part of that - it needs to be alive and vibrant, offering more opportunities than just dungeons.

Of course, there will be dungeons, I'm not a monster.

Gygax 75 Challenge - Make A Campaign Setting in 5 Weeks!

So, it's been... a while since I have posted here. Things have been up and down, lots going on, but here's hoping I can make this time stick. I have been pushing myself to be a little more creative, as I feel that a lack of any creative output has really caused some issues in my life.

To help with that, I am going to give the Gygax 75 Challenge a go - see if I can use it to make a campaign setting in 5 weeks. Specifically, I am going to work up a setting for a long-in-the-tooth back burner project; an OSR Wavecrawl/Saltbox Pirates game.

Each week, I will post up what I have managed, and by the end of it, we will see what I have managed to make. Hopefully, this will end with a wonderfully weird and interesting place to run a few games.
