Basic World Overview

I'm building a game world to run in Dungeons Ampersand Dragons. (A jab at the Sons of Kryos.) It's the general purpose of this blog to reveal those various brain droppings. I'm thinking of posting various elements and notes to this blog, hoping for some feedback. I've done the same at the Dragons Landing Inn forums, with the thread found here: DLI Campaign Input. (Link broken, DLI is now down.) Please bear with me, as I am a rookie DM, or dungeon master for the uninitiated (but certainly not a novice to the game, having been playing it for almost ten years, now) and I'm hoping I'm covering all of the right bases. 

I intend to use this world to span multiple campaigns, and when I free up the time, I'm going to be running multiple parties throughout the world, hopefully each one acting at the same rate. Some quick info about my game world: It is a planet with three major land masses, set in fantastically medieval times (roughly) much like so many clichéd games. Hey, I work with what I know; it's Stephen King's first piece of advice to writers. 

The three major land masses are two being continents (similar to Eurasia) and the Americas, which does not have a small isthmus like we have with Panama. Instead, that's filled with a fairly large chunk of land, like Baja California and Florida connect with South America. Meanwhile, the last land mass is actually a large archipelago. The main area I want to focus on with my group is Raathan, the Eurasian continent, Torellan, which is/was the Americas, and Sal-Hara, which is obviously the archipelago. With Raathan, I will be introducing a new race that is feline in appearance, but otherwise humanoid. More details on that, in a later post. Torellan will have a different approach to knowledge and other "sciences" than the rest of the world, and Sal-Hara will have variations/perversions of both worlds. I have been trying to use Chuck and Lonnie's world-building exercises in building the world, and I think that's coming along nicely. For those in the dark about who Chuck and Lonnie are, they are the hosts of the Dragons Landing Inn. That should cover some of the basics.
