I’ve recently been given the opportunity to lead and work with a team of writers on a D&D campaign for my college group for a Dungeons and Dragons stream as a Capstone project . Where is it that we need to start? And what should we be aware of going into this? All of us love fantasy and D&D and want to make sure we create the best product that we can for this

Start with a central, interesting big idea, then build everything else to support it. That big idea should be really simple and evocative.
Dark Sun is a good example – D&D in a world where rampant abuse of magic has wrought an ecological catastrophe. Everything flows from that. Comment
