The New World - OOC IS UP

I'm interested.

Any interest in creating a Collaborative world that later could be used as a setting?

@Kenaron Yes, we'd be starting from the cosmology and an empty map, then progressing forwards. If it gets stuck though, I can always go back to my folder of "failed" previous projects and pull something out to push us into the right direction, though should people not want that unilateral creation, I would just create something new.

As it stands, I have many resources at my disposal such as basemaps and some species previously designed.

Any interest in creating a Collaborative world that later could be used as a setting?

Hello, I come to you in this day because I have already tried to create a setting several times and most of those times the interest waned down and died until there was no more, then the ideas faded in time. I was trying to rise a world and a cosmology from the very base of the tectonics of the planet. We, in other sites, created continents and islands, climates, rivers, and the primordial mythology, but when the time came to create the first civilizations, most of the projects crumbled. I'm interested in knowing if there is a place for world-building in that manner here in RPGuild and "in that manner" I mean with ecosystems, tectonics, river systems, climate, population migratory routes, habitats for the main animals that interact with mankind and so on. If there is not so much, then I think we can take a map we've already made in some of the projects before and use some of the base we already had.

Edit: This is a fantasy project, somehow I forgot to state it in the OP. However, unlike many fantasy settings, technology progresses with time in the same manner that it does in our world so eventually we'll be seeing a sci-fi and fantasy environment for example.

Looking for someone to create a fantasy world with.

Hello, @Run9 , I hope this is still open and if it is, that I can be a part of it. I had a similiar project, no, several of them, die out in other sites; however, I'm still interested in making a world out of collaborative imagination prosper. If you want to I can bring parts of those projects here or invent something from the ground up: as I said before, this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Welcome to the Big Apple: An Alternate Fallout 4

Welcome to the Big Apple

An Alternate Fallout 4

When in 2277 the Lone Wanderer emerged from Vault 101 at the age of 19, the Wasteland saw just another young man destined to suffer and have his hopes shattered in the unforgiving harshness of the former capital of the United States, in less than a year though, he would take Capital Wasteland by storm and neutralize most of the main threats of the former Washington D.C.

By the end of the year 2279 I was born. My father had died of radiation poisoning a few months after taking on the Enclave and succeeding and my mother had assumed the command of the Brotherhood of Steel, East Coast Chapter.

In the year 2306, at twenty-seven years of age, I was invested with the title of Elder, nearly a decade after my mother’s death in a reconnaissance mission to New York. Twenty years later the Brotherhood of Steel of the East Coast has splintered away from the one of the West Coast despite all my efforts. Their fanaticism about their ideal of technology over everything else and their new, almost religious leaders have made it impossible for us to remain on one side any longer. We are alone this time. However, we aren’t weak any longer, what my family and I have built for the Brotherhood is stronger and truer than ever. We have started to push outwards in all directions. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Albany, Boston, Providence, Portland, Detroit… In that order we took them and stablished bases.

The Brotherhood is now almost a nation, or so many like to think. But in the last few years we have been in grave danger… The water we supply and its trade network, our lifeblood and the thing that keeps most of the wastelanders on our side has been disrupted. Violently. In a year we have been forced to abandon Detroit, Buffalo and Portland. Our central command in West Point has been threatened from the south by a charismatic figure, a leader that has united many tribes under her fist.

After all we have done, we are afraid. The battle for our survival, the survival of the values of the old U.S., will be fought soon and I am afraid because war… War never changes.

The Stormraiders

Faction Sheet

Faction Name: The Stormraiders
Faction Type: Collection of semi-nomadic tribes.
Capital: The Hive.
Holdings:The Hive, Hotwaters, Ashenfield, Grey Forest, the Lonely lands, Iceriver, Hidden Mountain, the Three Peaks, Last Mountain, Southernlands, the Forgotten One.
Flag/Banner:

Flag of the current reigning clan.
Leader(s): Rotary Tribal Council.
Persons of Importance: The hundred and eighty two chiefs of the clans.
Racial Demographics and Population: Uniform racially, almost all of them human, even though most have some kind of alteration thanks to biotech modifications to their ancestors from before the catastrophe. Their numbers reach around 150.000
Culture and Religion: To understand the Stormriders it is necessary to understand the environment in which they live most of their lives, this being the harsh wastes of the great desert. Contrary to popular belief, the Stormriders don't spend most of their time in cities or oasis but travelling between them. Harsh doesn't even begin to describe the lifestyle most of the population has. Therefore, it is no surprise that they had to develop a very specialized lifestyle which includes leaving behind most of those who can't take care of themselves for basic things.

The Stormraiders live either on the move, or, unknown to the rest of the wastelands, hidden in underground caves. Of all of the Holdings of importance they posses, the most important ones aren't mobile, but almost nobody but them knows it. While they are a minority, eleven to be exact, these are the centres of culture and where most of the important events that concern the whole culture are held. We will be back to this point soon.

To be a Stormraider is to be almost completely self-sufficient and know how to survive in the wastelands. While it is extremely rare that a single tribe member is found travelling alone, every person in the caravans is expected and educated all of his or her life to survive in the most hostile of the environments for an indefinite period of time should the need arise. However, this doesn't mean that either the quality of life of the Stormraiders is low nor than that they haven't developed other methods of dealing with their daily struggle which have made for a comfortable existence.

The Schiift, literally "hounds", are a race of blind, gregarious canines that live symbiotically with the Stormraiders. They have the best known sense of smell and can dwell in almost all environments. Added to this is the fact that they are apex predators capable of reaching almost 250km/hr in flat terrain in short bursts, maintain around 100km/hr for days on end and are excellent diggers. All of this has made them the perfect partner for the tribes. From time immemorial since the great disaster it has been this way.

Their capacity to reach and maintain such high speeds with little energetic cost has allowed them to travel at the same speed as the motorized caravans of the Stormraiders and their digging ability has been widely used in the construction and maintenance of the great underground shelters. They are also extremely well suited to the hunting methods of the tribe members. The Shiift are so engrained in the culture of the nomads that the pups are often feed human milk and vice-versa.

The aforementioned methods of hunting consist mainly of bows and crossbows, with powder weapons being granted only to the very best shooters of each tribe and therefore being considered among the highest honours. That isn't to say that one should underestimate a normal Stormraider; on the contrary, they are extremely lethal with ranged weapons and slightly less so with close quarter ones.

Even though they are traders, the Stormraiders don't accept fiat money, due to its uselessness in the deserts and other hostile environments in which they spend most of their time.

The immobile holdings of the tribes are dug underground by the Schiift and reinforced with the technology they tribe members scavenge. They are also sanctuaries for technology and have a much higher quality of life for the elders which live on them, their only permanent population. That doesn't mean they aren't completely devoid of people save for the elders, just that those that inhabit them don't stay beyond what takes the next group to arrive.

These holding also serve as place for the rituals and councils of the whole people, with The Hive being the most important.
History: Stormraider society hasn't changed much in general terms even though they possess a rich history of tribes' and clans' disputes and internal conflicts which is very detailed in their records.
Military: Every person in the tribes that can walk can fight, and, while slow to anger and always on guard, a Stormraider is a lethal combatant.
Other: The usual basic equipment for a Stormraider consist in:
- Between 3 and 7 bows and crossbows and their corresponding arrows.
- Several Blowpipes and their corresponding darts.
- Usually two halberds.
- Three or more spears.
- A multipurpose axe.
- A multipurpose sword or machete.
- Several knives.
- Poison to coat most of the aforementioned.
- All-terrain boots.
- A gas mask.
- Travelling cloaks.
- A motorcycle or equivalent.

Lords of Creation: Children of the Flash (always open)

@The Grey Dust Thanks.

There was another communication error for which I should apologize too. I never claimed the entire Solar System for me only to use. I simply wished to create a background for all of us to operate, the problem arose when I said that "I would let you have time" instead of saying something along the lines of "all free but if we take too long I would like to complete what's missing".

Ashes of Nabushan(Faction/Character RP)

Ah, I suppose I might as well bring my monstrous swarms here, after all. What would you say of a tribalistically theocratic community, ruled by the highest echelons of an alien cult, which dwells in a maze of subterranean caverns and is adept at domesticating the various local more or less hideous creatures?

@Oraculum

I'm working on a faction of Mad Max-style raiders which also have domesticated a kind of blind canine, which lives underground with them on secret caves. Hopefully our factions won't be too similar.

Ashes of Nabushan(Faction/Character RP)

I recall a faction which primary objective was securing old-tech, I was thinking it would have some kind of story with my faction since they are scavengers.
