Specifically, have a contest similar to what WotC did a few years back which resulted in Eberron. Then future NG could develop future products for the winner as well as more generic fantasy mods. What do you think?

NG has come out with all kinds of protable adventures that lend themselves well to that setting. As for another world, I dont know.

You never have to worry about cleaning up setting-specific details in the product set to use in your own campaign, aside from the obvious stuff like place names and deities. Maybe a contest aimed at designing a locale or adventure type (i.e. dungeon, desert, jungle, urban, etc.), though this may overlap too much with RPG Superstar to be warrant any consideration.

I think there are plenty of them out there for all versions of D&D AND one for Pathfinder. I myself am not interested, but, hey, what do I know anyways.

That said, that wouldn't be very "first edition feel" MtbDM Q: MtbDM, what is good in life? A: To crush the PCs, see their character sheets pile before you, and hear the lamentation of their players.

Necro already has a rough campaign setting that they could really go ahead and flesh out. Most of that "campaign" setting has yet to appear. I wish they'd done a Reme sourcebook. I really like Bard's Gate.

I really like Bard's Gate. I love Bard's Gate! And I think I made the suggestion some time back on another thread. I would like to see more towns and small to mid-sized cities. There are not enough of those. I am not sure about a new campaign world. But, fleshing out the NG world is not a bad idea. I would prefer to see plug-in cities. The problem I always run into is that most of the published cities are huge, gigantic, impossibly large cities. Some small cities with flavor would be great......something I can plug into the Wilderlands or that someone can use in the NG world. Last Edited By: Snoring Rock 08/26/09 04:42:30. Edited 1 times.

Would a Pathfinder version of it be of interest to anyone? Like others, I'd prefer to see new material from NG but re-doing CoF might be a good way to "introduce" NG to the Pathfinder crowd as well as make it available to people who missed it the first time around. Maybe even expand it a bit by including "Wizard's Amulet" and the web enhancement material (all updated to Pathfinder) so the whole story/setting is in a single book. Sort of a "Fairhill Revisited/Reloaded", if you will. Just a thought. ________________________________ "Not all who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien

I am not sure how much of the setting was really embedded. I ported that to my Wilderlands campaign. I wonder if the adventure-path could be reworked to fit into Golarion. That is the homeworld for Paizo and since it would be a partnership (I presume) then why not port it to Golarion and update it? There would be enough changes to interest me. I wont use Golarion, but from a packaged marketable percpective....it has potential.
