2019 Summer Camp: Homework
My Motivations
There are a number of reasons that I world build:Long term (5-10 years): I'd love to write a book, Campaign Setting, and/or other written documentation
Short term (months to a year): Restart my previous campaign
Immediately: Self-expression, mental stimulation and health, and a creative outlet.

Topics to Cover
The major things I would like to cover in summer camp revolve around cultures, places, and people and how they evolve over time. I'd love to take some time to focus on plot hooks (both for my players and future writing endeavors). While I've thought about where various small communities are located, their composition, and some of their traditions, I'd love to delve deeper to create a rich political, religious, and technological/magical advancement summary for many ideas that have yet to be put down on pen and paper (or I suppose key and screen?). Part of doing so would mean creating additional characters, figuring out the magical resources, and writing up important documents. The end goal of 2019 is to have enough information to write Gazetteers for any players who wish to enter my world with information they'd know given their hometowns and backgrounds.Preparations
- Create a Trello Board with a list in each document category.
- List the Stubs and potential item ideas
- Go through previous Challenges for ideas
- Read through the current articles
- Fill out unfinished articles and figure out where great article spin-offs would be
- Find and create images (maps, banners, designs, people, places etc) for July's inspiration
The Articles
Only 10 articles were completed during Summer Camp, but I'm going to finish up the prompts and include them here for completion's sake. You can check out my Summer Camp Progress Page here. Day 3:
