[OOC] ||FANTASY WORLDBUILDING GAME|| Jump-In! ||

[Bluetommy]

@MikkishtheLeprechaun I doubt it, though perhaps someone could make one.

[Aristocles]

Mind if I jump in? I've got dracon characters and a setting of my own. I'd be happy to contribute elements of that to this.

[Bluetommy]

@Aristocles It's Jump-In, so no need to even ask, though Polybius has said he does not want traditional fantasy fare, so just be careful of that.

[Aristocles]

@bluetommy2

Oh, I don't think that desert-dwelling dragon people are standard. Like the guy in my avatar. They're not OP or anything, don't worry. No wings or shapeshifting abilities or anything.

[Polybius]

@Aristocles Hey! Jump in anytime, stay for a while or just pass through. I would prefer original content but if you have ideas your looking to throw in, have at it.

[Aristocles]

@Polybius

Well, it's original relative to everyone else, I suppose. I can come up with new stuff as well.

[Polybius]

@Aristocles No problem. I suppose what I'm getting at is to take into account what everyone else has already written and try to incorporate some of that lore and legend into whatever you write. Rather than having a kitchen-sink setting where things are just thrown together at random. Either way, this has been and will be fun as hell.

[Aristocles]

@Polybius

No problem. Nice to see someone else uses an ancient Greek screen name here too.

@bluetommy2

Dude...

Your sig eyes make it hard to concentrate when they are concentrated in so many posts like that. :P It's nice.

@Polybius

Took a bit of inspiration from Norse mythos on that one. :)

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

Can we do Factions also? Like for cults, organizations, guilds, armies, etc.

[Polybius]

@MikkishtheLeprechaun I don't see why not. Are you talking about the guilds in the sunlit city?

I'm trying to figure out how to get us writing more cooperatively. I wanted to suggest that in each post, you highlight something that you give a name and then another player takes over that name and fills out the information. For example,

example

Toad Men
Toad men originate in the skull-fens.

I am writing about the toad men, but I highlighted the skull-fens to signify that I want someone else to do a write up about the skull fens. I think this would help further the whole 'cooperative worldbuilding' aspect. What do you guys think?

[Bluetommy]

@Polybius I dunno, seems like we're doing that already. Like how you took the offhand mention of the spirit weapons and turned that into its own thing. Having it the new way seems a little limiting, but that's just my opinion.

[Lucidnonsense]

Im about to post something big when I get the opportunity.

[Lucidnonsense]

Crap accidently posted it early

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

@Polybius

I actually didn't plan on writing too much else about sunlit city, to allow others to work with the idea if they wanted. But the gangs there would fit into it.

So if we think of a category, we can just do it even though its not listed?

[Polybius]

@MikkishtheLeprechaun I don't see why not, as long as we're all writing and fleshing out the world.

@Polybius

I believe if we implement this system as well as what we are currently have, it can do nothing but enhance some possibilities.

[MikkishtheLeprechaun]

@Hanleth@polybius

I think its more natural if we dont do that. If we all just write what we write and let the chips fall where they may, then it shows the amount of interest when someone references what we created in their post, like Vitalis mentions Elder Anthropods, the post on Spirit Weapons gives history of the Pallid Plains, and I put Sunlit City in the Sunlit Vale.

[Polybius]

Thanks for the input guys! We'll continue as we have before, if anyone has ideas to improve the game let us know. Feel free to give mentions to forum members you think might like this sort of thing as well.

@aristocles

Props for the amount of detail in that city. Way more than I did XD
