Realm = Campaign or Realm = Realm?

[Maetco]

I just bought the software and haven't done anything yet but before I start by doing the wrong thing I'll ask a simple question:

Is the Realm really a realm and you can easily create many campaigns withing that Realm that take place in the same realm or should I crate a Realm per campaign (excluding continuing campaigns where the new campaign picks up on where the previous ended)?

Basically I mainly create campaigns that take place in Warhammer world but most of those campaigns don't have anything to do with each other. So should I create a Realm for all of the Warhammer campaigns or a Realm per campaign?

If you want it set up for when realm sharing is enabled, then you could put all the generic Warhammer material into one realm, and each individual campaign into their own separate realms.

The realm sharing will allow you to merge the Warhammer generic material into each of your campaign-specific realms (and changes to the Warhammer generic realm will feed through to the campaign realms). - this bit isn't implemented yet, but is coming soon.

I would say a realm is a campaign (events in your campaign may alter the world/realm). As Farling says when the sharing is up and running you could create a basic realm for the world and then copy it and use it with each campaign.

Currently you could use the world almanac as a way to input all the info about the world, and use the story almanac for the info of the current campaign.
