>>5702906So, I'm currently DM of a modified Rogue Trader game, that's my current big project, and while there's no set 'end' for the campaign, it's probably two years out from a definitive end, just judging by how much progress they've made across the map. Nature of games, it might burn down tomorrow, it might run for a few months.
My attention isn't so small that I can't have more than one project at a time, though, which is why it's such a problem that I've been engaging in some autistic worldbuilding for a weird science fantasy setting that threatens a lot of days to absorb COADE as a sub-setting, along with others. I have been sorely tempted to run a quest in it multiple times, but the obvious candidate for a protagonist has become a bit too developed to really work as a proper quest protagonist anymore, so I'd have to come up with something original. Also that it's produced a short story that's quickly become a novella which it becomes alarmingly tempting to look into publishing, sometimes.
One of those projects has to end eventually, but realistically the Rogue Trader game ends first. Inspiration for something is hard to come by, so despite knowing COADE would probably come a lot sooner if I paused on my other setting, I'm keeping it, but I'm also somewhat wary that it's a pretty radical shift on the 'backend', which could threaten to make COADE not feel like COADE. The question is whether COADE will last until then or if it will mutate in my mind into something else.
tl;dr - hopefully a year or so away, but it may be subsumed into a larger setting
