Getting Started With Sandboxing in Fantasy RPGs

The best advice I can give: 

i. Make a small starter sandbox using hexes, say 1 mile/hex, around 300-400 squares miles is good.
ii. Fill it with stuff - your ideas, published site based adventures, rolls on donjon.se et al, liberally plastered over the hexes.
iii. Have a PC-friendly starter village towards the middle, with a few named NPCs, and useful services such as an Inn, marketplace, smithy, and lord's hall.
iv. Give the PCs 2-3 starting rumours of nearby adventure sites.


Do it right and you have opened the door to many years of great adventures.
