I am working on creating my new campaign world and want to build it around the world the Mel Odom created in his book "The Rover".

Has anyone read it that might be willing to help me put this together? I am planning on using as much straight 4E fluff stuff as possible.

Any takers?

I guess there are no fans of "The Rover" out there.

Never heard of it.
Checked wikipedia for any info- on Mel Odom. He was listed, but for The Rover:
One of his best known fantasy novels is The Rover (2001), which in 2002 won the Alex Award, an American Library Association award given to novels written for adults that would also appeal to young readers (see the link below). Three sequels have appeared since then: Destruction of the Books (2004), Lord of the Libraries (2005), and The Quest for the Trilogy (2007). These stories are high fantasy in the tradition of J. R. R. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings.

Well... tradition of JRR T-. High praise.

He has also written some Forgotten Realms books... and others. Here is his website (http://www.melodom.net/welcome.htm).

I think the main problem is that nobody knows about the books. I've certainly never head of them. Maybe if you can give us some more detail people will be more inclined to help.
