Progress Report – Making a DnD Setting

Constructing an entire fictional world is difficult. Constructing an entire fictional world to fit a set of mechanics to allow it to be used in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, is doubly difficult.

As outlined in a previous blog post, I am creating a fictional world setting by combining elements of Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell’s fantasy series The Edge Chronicles with your typical fantasy setting, in which I will be DMing a DnD campaign for a group of friends. Over the last several weeks I have been looking in to the creatures, society, locations, and general world of The Edge, and have pulled out a number of loose threads of ideas, but it will be some time before I am able to weave these together into a functional tapestry of a world. Nonetheless, here is a progress report.
