About

protoswarm's picture

The idea behind bySwarm is to collaboratively build an RPG setting using the web site community, which we call the Swarm. As writers, artists, and other community members contribute content to the setting, their submissions will be rated by the community which will earn the contributors recognition within the Swarm and potentially the larger gaming community.

bySwarm update - Only 13 days to go!

Setting Concept submissions close February 20!
With February 20, 2010, as the deadline, there are just 13 short days left in the setting concept competition. If you have submitted one or more setting concepts already, we also want to hear what you think of the other setting concepts. At the bottom of the details for each setting concept, you can submit a review. As a tip, you can also post a review of your own concept. If you submitted multiple concepts, we recommend reviewing just the one you like the most with the highest scores you think are appropriate. There's no reason not to do a little self-promotion both via a review as well as posting a link to your setting concept in your Facebook, Twitter, or blog, too.

RPG Setting Concept Contest

Create Setting Concept: The submission process has started! If you are logged in, this page will let you submit a setting concept. Deadline: February 20, 2010.

In order to guide and inspire the creation of an RPG setting by Swarm, we need to have a setting concept to use. A setting concept describes the RPG setting in a way that captures the major themes and elements that make the setting unique. A good setting concept is one that is well-written and will cover enough of the basic elements of the setting that other people can use it to add content to it. A great setting concept inspires dozens or even hundreds of writers and artists - the Swarm - to contribute to its construction.
