Learn how to create your own campaign

= Create a Campaign = There are two options for creating your campaign:

Start with a map
For a campaign it is a good idea to create two maps. A more basic map to provide to the players (you can decide if you want to give it to them at the beginning for wait until their characters find it in-game) and a map with any hidden items you might have included in the world you create. Add points of interest on the map to encourage players to go to those locations and move the story along. As you create the map, think about how creatures, NPCs, travel, etc. will work in the world so you are ready no matter what the players choose to do. Remember, they may not always follow your plan. As you build out your world, make the appropriate notes in your Campaign Guide.

Start with a Story
If you have a specific idea about the story you want to tell with your campaign, try building out your story line first. This method can be dangerous when playing with a group who is more adventurous with the map if you choose to provide one. Your story may require the group to make certain decisions they may not choose. When using this method of creating a campaign, make sure to be very detailed in your Campaign Guide so you can quickly make changes to the story on the fly if needed.
