Welcome to the Campaign Builders' Guild.
The original ideas of the CBG were founded by Xeviat-DM at the Wizards of the Coast Message Boards, and expanded upon over the course of several months to become the thriving community you see now. There is one sole purpose for this guild, this site, and these forums: to help with the creation of GM-created, homebrew campaigns. In an RPG market where there are literally hundreds of published worlds - some good, some not - it is difficult for GMs to choose a world to adventure in. Often times, they will begin work on their own, personal campaign, sometimes inspired directly by pre-existing campaigns, and sometimes inspired by nothing more than the memory of playing outside in the creek when younger. This site is to help mold those ideas, to shape those themes, and to inspire in even greater detail the creation of complete worlds and campaigns to play RPGs in.

The Campaign Builders' Guild is your one-stop source for information and communities centered around building and creating homebrew campaign settings, adventures, and worlds for role playing games. World building and campaign building is a craft and an art, to use the words of Raelifin, and goes far beyond just simply creating locales, NPCs, and adventure locations. These things must connect to each other in some sort of fundamental way. At the Campaign Builders' Guild, we will help you achieve a mastery of this art, either through reviewing your campaign setting, critiquing your adventure, or simply basking in the wonder of your campaign world. Go to the forums and ask for help for that new kingdom you're building, and ask for advice on the new magic system you're creating. And while you're here, please ponder others' works of art. Write your own reviews on someone else's setting, and play an adventure RPG in a new campaign world. You can't go wrong.

I agree about the vegetarian/herbivore topic. I don't think carnivore sounds too scientific at all.
Oufff, feels good to be back.
Interesting take. I'll see if I can convince my vernacular to use "herbivore" for the races that biologically don't eat meat.
Yeah, agreed.  Vegetarian refers to a set of dietary practices; herbivore refers to an animal's digestive system.
(Continuing my previous post)
... culture, beliefs, or some other non-biological factor.
I personally like labels like carnivore and herbivore. They don't sound overly scientific to me, but maybe I just have an overly scientific way of talking.

To me, at least, "vegetarian" to me seems less like a description of biology and more like it's based on an individual's preferences, cu
look at my horse, my horse is amazing
you could always just write what they eat instead of putting a label on them.
I'm writing up my races, and I keep finding "carnivore" to be too scientific sounding. Vegetarian sounds natural. Meat-eater sounds like something a child would say.
meatatarian?
Sharp-tooth vs. Flat-tooth
More context would be helpful.  "Meat-eater" might work...
Anyone have less-sciency sounding words for "carnivore" and "omnivore", like how vegetarian doesn't sound technical?
I like it, and not just because I was mentioned. LOL
Ishmayl used to do these "what's new around the CBG" posts every so often and they really helped get/keep people interested in some of the stuff being done around here lately. I am attempting to revive the practice.
CE and Fimbulvinter players, I've made a proposition of sorts in the Fimbulvinter thread.  Your thoughts are appreciated.
Damn double post.
No worries - that's probably around when we'll be starting.
