January came and went and it’s time to close our “New Year, New World” Blog Carnival. With a slow start, we still got a number of really cool – and in some cases very long – entries. Posts were, in chronological order:

• A New World, Part 1: The New Lands here at Enderra
• Why Colonize a Crappy Planet? at Contact Light
• A Map of Alfheim, by Cirsova
• Worldbuilding for Beginners, by Realmwright
• A post on Using the Drama System to Create a Setting, by Phil at Tales of a GM
• New Beginnings, on creating fresh campaigns, by Mike at Campaign Mastery
• Mark, of Creative Mountain Games, discussed exploration in his Friday Grab Bag Blog Post
• General Tangent posted a campaign idea he’s had for a while
• Jesse of the Fantasy Roleplaying Planes blog shared ideas on turning your existing campaign into an exploration campaign
• A New World, Part 2: Assumption, at Enderra
• A New World, Part 3: What’s the Colony like, also here at Enderra
• A New World, Part 4: Mapping the Coastline, again at Enderra 🙂
• 23 Things about Masks of the Empire Part 1, by Edige at Age of the Ravens
• 23 Things about Masks of the Empire Part 2, again by Edige at Age of Ravens
• Bioarcane Items, about magic items in an age of Exploration, at the World Builder’s Blog
• And last but not least, the World of Troika, by Jon the 5e Grognard.

Thank you all for participating! Be sure to check out February’s carnival, over at Leicester’s Ramble, on the topic of How/Where You Write/Prep.

If you’ve got any late articles, please post below or on the original post and I’ll add you to the list. I’ll also continue building my small colonial setting over the next months.
