Calling all creative minds,
I have recently resumed work on an original ("homebrew") heroic fantasy setting with dark fantasy elements, which I intend to serve as the backdrop for d20 OGL/4e GSL campaigns, fiction writing and so on. The goal is to make something richly detailed, immersive and original, and yet retain a sense of familiarity. Our original influences include various D&D campaign settings (Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Golarion, Eberron, Gemini, Midnight, etc) as well as sources from other media (Moorcock, Howard's Hyborian Age, the Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Warhammer Fantasy, etc). The focus is more on the setting itself than any game mechanics, though we will be making use of material contained in the OGL/GSL.
Essentially it's a community world-building project.
If you're unsure of what "Dark Fantasy" entails, I recommend the amusing (and quite accurate) summation here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkFantasy
I've been working with a team of like-minded individuals brainstorming ideas, and I'm on the lookout for more. We're interested with working with people from all kinds of backgrounds and with all kinds of influences. Full-time participation is by no means required - just idea sharing/thoughts/opinions/brainstorming when you have the time. If you're interested and feel like you're up to the task, please PM me and we can discuss it further. Alternatively, you can join our group here:

I look forward to hearing from you.
