I recently came upon Stephanie Bryant's website and her Magical World Builder guide that deals with developing a world over the course of 30 days. The premise is that you take 15 minutes a day to sketch out your world/setting. While intended as an aid for writing novels, I can see where it would be useful in the development of a campaign setting. I will spending 15 minutes each day this month dealing with one of the entries, in addition to whatever other posts I will be making over the course of this month.
Additionally, the middle of the month will bring us 5th edition D&D, and I expect to get a lot of ideas from that. So far the art work is looking solid and I like the idea of bounded accuracy keeping the truly gonzo elements of 3.X in check while getting rid of some of the stiffness and MMO-esque feeling that 4th edition had. I did like elements from 4th edition, but it felt more like a pen and paper version of Final Fantasy Tactics than a table top roleplaying game.
