World-Changing Events for Planegea!
Now through June 8th we're giving away $2k in product to 3rd party Planegea creators. Learn more about it now!
I talked with Planegea creator David Somerville about the open license, and why it's so important. David immediately pointed out, "From the beginning, Planegea has been a community project." That means the open license impacts much more than just the game, it ripples through the entire fan community …
Planegea's Creator on the Open License
"The very first rumbles of the setting were published for all to see, with a map and a sketchy idea and the question, 'What if?'" David remembers. "As we — those early discoverers of this primeval world — starting putting pen to paper and naming people and places, spells and gods, magic items and monsters, every page was published in real time to an array of players, imagining bringing prehistory to their tables. So much of what Planegea is comes from those early discussions and communal ideas. 'What about aberrations?' 'How does teleporting work?' 'What kind of threats are out there?' Planegea as it exists today is really a shared dream between all of us."
"That’s why I’m delighted that now, at last, the whole Planegea community will be able to not only ask questions, but answer them. In the guidance to the game master, we re-expressed that old piece of advice: that this world is YOUR world. Now, every GM, game designer, and passionate player can bring their Planegea to life and build a giant shared world of adventure and infinite possibility. I look forward to all we’ll discover together. Happy hunting!"
