My homebrew is different, in the case that the current technology level is around the Italian Renaissance technology. It is also under an Olympian Pantheon as per the 3ed god’s book. I need help creating many aspects of my world. I have the science behind the world it has thirty hours a day and has twenty of it in darkness hence the name ever dark.


The major (Playable) races of Ever Dark are Humans, Dwarfs, Half-Orcs, Elves, Half-Elves, Gnomes, Halflings, Sea-Kindred.


I need help creating the Sea-Kin race, The system will be DND 3.5 or Pathfinder for the system. I already have a map and cities. That I don’t need, it’s everything else. Please tell me what I’m missing I need to have an entire world ready in less than a month.

I don't know much about 3.5, but there are some things that I know I would want to have.


  • Write-ups for any new weapons from the setting (if any).

  • What timekeeping system people use for a 50 hr. day.

  • Sketches of 2-3 NPCs to use in various places. 

  • Goals, allies, and enemies of any major orginizations in the world.

  • Run through the 3ed god's handbook for any necessary changes.. (Ex: Is there a city called Delphi in you campaign setting? If not, you need a city to throw an oracle in.)

  • Some ideas for level-independent side plots you can decide to run if you need an idea fast.

What i meant was It has ten hours of light, ten hours of low light or star light, and 10 hours of almost complety dark. For 30 hours all together, i have all ready taken a few of your iedas and started putting them to paper.

first off, you're going too big. in my experience, it's much better to have a  good idea of one are, with a general idea of close areas, than to know EVERYTHING in the campaign world.
do you need sea kin stats? a sea elf would be a good starting point. looks, general society would help develop it.

Well i wanted a seprate sea based playable race, but have recently scraped it for more noraml DND playable race set up, as the players wanted pathfinder rules, as many of the classes in pathfinder would work well in my world we worked with that.

I don't need everything, just enough to know the different factions and groups in my world which I'm almost done with. If you guys have any ideas or things that would be cool send a reply.
