08-06-06, 03:37 AM Ok I have a question from 2 VERY INEXPERIANCED DMs

Ok well we have 2 DMs for my group and we split the workload.
Ingame he does standard stuff inns ect. and I handle combat.
outside of the game I we both make maps and work on other aspects of the process.

Any how we just got forgotten relms and its a big change from our previous worlds that were very subject to change and very unreuseable.

any seggestion as to how to coordinate our efforts with a more solid world and system involved.

we are also finnaly moving our players to full rules as well after a workshop to teach them needed skills. we have slowly been introducing new rules over the past few sesion (inititive, attacks of oppertunity, the ability to get lost' ect)

09-01-06, 09:53 AM I run my campaigns in FR as well. What I would suggest is that you pick a spot to start your campaign that isn't too detailed in the books. It sounds like you are already used to writing your own material so this will allow you to use those skills. You will also be able to avoid having your players know more about the area then you do. I would strongly advise that you avoid the dalelands and the sword coast areas to start as these have been so heavily written about. You can introduce them later as you learn about them yourself.
