Write about an organization in your world that has become so powerful it's above the law.	Organization	Yes	Magic Academy at Winterborn	This organization will have a lot more impact in later campaigns.

Thoughts on the 2020 Summer Camp as a Whole

This is my first Summer Camp. We are 18 days into it and I'm finding it very helpful. So helpful that I'm thinking of going back and looking at the prompts from the last two years and seeing if they would help as well. Not every prompt works for my current campaign, but I'm can see where most of them will help in the future. Even the ones that don't fit in any campaigns are filling in a lot of background information that gives me direction on how my world works in ways that I've never thought of before. 07/30/20: OMG!  I have two prompts to go.  There were some points in the month that I didn't think that I was going to get this done.  With two prompts to go and twenty-four hours, I'm crossing my fingers that I can come up with the ideas that I need to finish the home stretch.  Argh!!! The other problem I'm finding after spending so much time writing in my world this month is that my organization is completely fucked up now.  Plus, I need to redo a bunch of maps and things to put my settlements and geography where it is supposed to go.  I guess I know what I'm doing for August!!!! 08/01/20: I completed all 31 prompts at 1:00 AM the morning before Summer Camp was complete. It was a lot of fun, but now I'm left with a mess of articles that haven't been properly places where they should be in the organizational structure of the site.  They are all uncategorized for now.  I'll spend August getting them all organized.  I realized this morning that I'm going to need to rework my organizational structure, so that will probably take some time.  It's a mess, but I'll get it all cleaned up. All that being said, Summer Camp really helped me flesh out my little world in way I never thought about before, which is going to be really helpful with my campaigns going forward.  Right now, the PC are working on one campaign that will give them a home base, but after that I had no clue where to take them next.  Summer Camp has given me tons of ideas of where to go with the story line after this first campaign is finished.  There is so much more going on in Inanta now, even if the PCs can't see it yet. I'm so excited to get working on everything, but first I have to clean up the mess I've made of all my articles so visitors can find them. TTYL!
