When we tell people that the books amount to around 1000 pages, they sometimes say, "Uh oh, I don't have time to read all that!"
But you don't have to. That's the entire idea. We sometimes compare the Druskara books to a Choose Your Own Adventure. You pick a starting location for your party. You read a few pages and then they can jump in. When they move on to the next chamber or the next shop in the town, you turn to that page and continue to run the adventure.
You can literally explore Druskara as your players do. And then, if you feel inspired to read more, it's all there.
The goal with Druskara was to be complete. Not just offer a setting where you still have to fill everything in. It's full enough that you wouldn't have to create anything if you didn't want to. Use the NPCs provided -- their goals, motivations, and stat blocks are ready to run. The 24+ dungeons are mapped, detailed, and written in the concise, yet thorough Shadowdark ethos. Magic items, monsters, events, quests and carousing charts are provided.
And yet, all of that said, there is plenty of room to create within Druskara. You can add your own dungeons, cities, NPCs, events, and landscapes!
