[1] Was The Kyngdoms campaign setting initially submitted as part of the WotC campaign search in 2002? No. The Kyngdoms campaign setting began its journey in early 2003. It wasn't even conceived because of, or in any way motivated by, the WotC campaign search.
[2] So why did you do all of this? I have no idea. Something took a hold of me and when I started, I just couldn't stop. When I finally looked up and caught some air, I realized that I'd invested far too much time and effort to stop, even if I wanted to. Actually, this all started because I was going to do an online magazine. I thought that adding a campaign world would be cool, so I started to work on one. It didn't take long before the magazine idea died and the campaign world become my single focus.
[3] So, who exactly are you? Just somebody who put together a campaign world and stuck it on online. There's a section about me here. Which doesn't really say very much either.
[4] What else have you done in the RPG industry? At the time of writing this, nothing. I have invested all my time and effort into completing The Kyngdoms. I would certainly like to get involved in other projects within the industry, but whether anyone else would be interested is another matter.
[5] Where do you get all of your ideas for The Kyngdoms? That's impossible to say. I use real history as a starting point for most things - it's far more incredible and varied than any fantasy histories! I then amalgamate those features which I like into the ideas I have floating around in my head. If the idea seems to work, I expand it a little and then some more. Those ideas which work I keep and work on. Those that don't, I reject. Of course, whether or not the ones I decide are good or bad, or are the right ones, I leave entirely up to you to decide.
[6] Has The Kyngdoms been published anywhere else, other than online? The Kyngdoms is available as a pdf. See our products area for more details. This was put together so that people could print out The Kyngdoms in a manner that was easy to use at the table.
[7] Has The Kyngdoms been published and made available as a book? Some products - including The Kyngdoms Campaign Setting and The Kyngdoms Atlas - are available in book format. Each product entry gives the exact details of all the formats it is available in (and where you can purchase them).
[8] Do you do any other products? It is our intention to fully support The Kyngdoms campaign setting with a range of releases. Presently, our intention is to release these in pdf format. See our product page for a full list of products available at this time.
[9] What software did you use to draw the map with? The map was drawn in Photoshop 7. A "palette" of objects was designed and then painstakingly applied to the map. It took, literally, months and underwent a number of incarnations before it was complete (well, two major ones).
[10] Who did the cartography for The Kyngdoms? Me. To date, I've done all the map design. You can find a little something about me here, for what it's worth.
[11] Who designed The Kyngdoms website? So, like, that would be me again. I used to be a techie before I did all of this. For a while, at least. But I never did make a very convincing one.
[12] Is there a more user friendly version of the map? You can find a list of all available products on the products page, where you can find The Kyngdoms Campaign Setting and The Kyngdoms Atlas in both print and pdf. You can also purchase the complete map as a single image.
[13] How do you pronounce the word [insert word of your choice here]? If I did a FAQ for how all things in The Kyngdoms are pronounced, I wouldn't have time to do anything else. However, I did put this pronunciation guide together, which may or may not be of any use.
[14] So why the change to high elves? Why make wood elves the default? It just worked better that way. High elves as given just didn't fit into the concept, and I thought that having a sub-race that was alien to Arrasia and who made their home in the outer planes made more sense all round.
[15] I have found a spelling/grammar/other error on the website. What should I do about it? Post it here, where it will be acted upon as soon as I have a chance. I very much appreciate all feedback, especially that which highlights errors and mistakes that were missed during the editorial process.
