This means if GM A game has this kingdom go to war with that kingdom then in GM B's game word of the war could be heard if his game is near enough or if GM C is running a game in the same kingdom that GM A is running then GM C's game has to reflect the events of GM A's game.

Feasible... I do not think it means what you think it means...

... 'cause it sounds like it means "causes brain damage" to me.

This sounds great! We could even design it to fit the official adventure supplements with almost no work too!

I could whip up a big ol map (hex map too!) quickly.

I'm going to be watching this. It will be interesting to see where it goes. I think it will be hard to do all the timing right.

What I was involved was stressful enough that I don't want any part of it.

It wanted me to stick a pencil in one ear and push it out the other sometimes but it was fun also.

Well, almost every campaign I've run made me want to do something like this. Not all of them, but most of them.

With a world map and a good time-line it would be doable. You could set it up like the old Known World setting where each person gets an area and writes a Gazetteer of some sort for their part of the world. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate just enough to go on.

I would probably be on board if you actually do something like this.

I will sit back and watch but if asked, I will toss my few pennies in from the sideline.

I would definitely be interested, but I can't promise anything.

I'm down.

First thing we should decide is what races are actually playable, that way we can work them into a proper timeline. A timeline with just the core races would be different than one with Canein, Half-Ogres and Pharim running about as well. After that, simply pick a start year/era and work from there.

Also, would there be a core/sole set of deities, or differing pantheons with (often contradictory) different histories?
