Making an area. Ideas

See list. UPDATE: It seems very city/human trade centric. I probably don't care about that too much. 

Quote: 

The solution I propose, then, is of course a secret third thing (obviously not the only secret third thing, see e.g. the procedure for collaborative setting creation from Joel of Silverarm Press). It leans closer to the trad-ish "DM makes the world" method, but ensures a light enough load that everybody should be okay. 

The first part is a bit of GM prep before the first (or zeroeth) session:

  • First, make a map of the terrain according to your favourite method.
  • Start by separating the world into 1-3 regions/powers/nations/whatever, according to your fancy.
  • Then, place 1-3 major cities in each, for a total of roughly 4-6 cities.
