Hey, folks. I'm Andy. I'm turning 40 in March 2009, and I've been playing D&D since my 10th birthday, so I've got some longevity in this hobby, for what it's worth. ;)
I'm almost always the DM, but I rarely mind it. Even before 4th Edition hit the shelves, I started developing my 4E campaign, Seven Kingdoms, which I plan to launch in a year or two. For now, I'm developing details about the world. When I actually start the campaign, the players will begin in a very small section of the world, and I'll develop that part in some detail. In the meantime, however, I find that I care more about the world, and I can spin stories that seem more real to me if I know something about the world as a whole. So that when a player says, "Is there anything like a medieval Russia in your world?" I can say yes or no and give details, rather than making it all up on the fly.
I welcome any comments on what I have so far for Seven Kingdoms. I'm still transferring information from my old wiki site, so there are gaps in what you can view so far.
Hee! My DM is an Andy also, and he's also been at it for decades. 'Cept he plays HERO/Champions and Amber diceless rather than D&D. Though we're both coming up with 4th-ed campaigns for the sake of learning the rules.
I convinced him to archive his stuff here so that other people could potentially take inspiration. It's over at the "Encyclopedia Yggdraversica":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/andyverse
And slowly I'm building my little snippet of multiverse - not a whole lot of inspiration for you right now unless you're big on religion: "Stands Alone":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/stands-alone
