I want to write a blog about our favorite hobby's many campaign settings. Each entry will consist of a short 'review' of the setting and its adventuring potential, as well as a list of books that support the aforementioned setting. The final result will be about a page long for each entry, giving the absolute basics and trying to explain the very basics of a setting to a prospective GM.
I'm of the opinion that making your own setting is awesome, but I see no reason that a homebrew setting can't use a real one as a launching point. I remember I knew nothing about the venerable Eberron Campaign Setting aside from what I read on the back of the book; and while the results of the campaign were totally butchering the world's established lore and rules, everyone had loads of fun.
I'm curious about what you would like to see, in terms of both analysis and settings seen.
Things I'd like to cover:
Setting release
Support & Adventures
Adventuring Potential
Themes and Tone
Famous NPCs or Places
5 unique things
Metaplot?
I'd love to see your feedback on the above list... and I'd also love to see some settings you'd like to see explained in a page or so!
