I just created the framework of a campaign setting on a whim. A couple of ideas popped into my head, the hamster ran in its wheel, 2+2 became 4, and all of a sudden, a new world happened.
I've designed how the planes are put together, how many gods there are, and of what, and decided on the general technology level.
But now I don't know what to do with it.
I only get to play D&D every once in a while, and when I do, it's usually to continue one of the many, many games in progress.
I'm still not done being creative with it. I still plan on giving each diety a set of domains, favored weapon, etc. (not to mention a name...) and will probably end up drawing a picture of each one. (my soul and my drawing hand are crying. There are easily over 50 of them.) Not to mention assigning planar traits to each plane, and drawing a map of them. (again, easily over 50, but at least maps are easier to draw than people...)
So, since the actual chance of using this setting for an actual game of D&D is pretty slim, what do I do to keep this geyser of creative juice from becoming a huge waste of time and effort?
