Summer Camp 2021 Pledge Document

Which project are your worldbuilding efforts tied to?

This is just general world building because I like it. I'd ultimately like to use my world in a real RPG campaign, but for now it's just for me. And for anyone else who might be interested.

What world are you working on?

I'm working on my current world Binaka, Fourth Age. Most likely everything I do on World Anvil will be in Binaka... unless I can use subworlds for each age.

Which area of the world(s) are you working on?

I am going to focus on the nation of Vidapa and the Yibiduri people. The nation is located along the southwestern coast of Mishtz̀azey, the opposite side of the continent from the Eastern Principalities, which I wrote about last year.

How much are you aiming to complete?

I'd really like to get all 31 prompts done. However, my minimum target is 20 prompts, with anything above that nice bonuses.

When will you write?

I have three different times when I'll be able to write.

Lunch hour at work. I can spend 45–60 minutes two or three days a week during my lunch hour. That's when I started this document. The specific days depend on what errands I need to run.
Evenings at home. I will be spending at least an hour an evening for three or four evenings Sunday through Thursday nights. Again, specific days depend on what is going on at the time. And whether I stayed up too late working on Summer Camp the night before.
Weekends. This includes Saturday and Sunday. And maybe Friday night. Realistically, this will be Saturday night for 2–3 hours.

There is an exception here. I'm taking a week vacation from work in the middle of the month. I don't know how much I'll do that week. It depends on what the family is doing.

Who is your support network?

I'll chat here and there with various members of my family (my wife and four kids).
