Too bad. I've been looking for someone who could get as much into worldbuilding as I can for ages. Like just being able to craft a universe together with someone and spend endless hours analyzing it and finding new details to fit into the greater story would be amazing.

Still, if you ever feel like chatting send me a message and we'll see if we can find some common thing we both like to talk about.

@PPQ Purple

Ok

IRL you vs Internet you!

<Snipped quote by LittleMouse>
I meant more along the lines of if you like doing it your self. In particular if you can get as excited about creating worlds and talking about them as I can. Because if yes... well that would be something indeed.

@PPQ Purple

I more or less analyze other worlds and canon characters as I said, my rp’s are influenced by books or are full fledge fandom

Can't be worse than mine.

Also, in case you are wondering the name comes from the fact it's on a river called "the White Lady" thanks to an ancient myth that talks about how in the ancient past during a great drought (which appears in other regional myths lending credence to there being a great drought at some point) a beautiful white lady traveled to the northern mountains in search of water spirits. But all she found at its peaks were cold spirits of ice. Still, one of those fell for her and agreed to follow her to her homeland if she would become his. So she lead him all the way south and east until they reached the great sea. And where they passed he melted leaving behind the great river. Eventually they reached the sea and threw them self into it thus becoming one and turning her into the river spirit. And of the union were born two princes who would become rulers of her people. And it is said that they are the ones buried in the two bronze age burial mounds that the city was named after.

And by the way, this is all in a modern age no magic game where all of this is irrelevant. And the only reason the city was mentioned at all is because there was a tank battle to be held in the nearby village of "lower shrub".

So I guess what I am asking is how you feel about worldbuilding?

@PPQ Purple

You can pop in to my PM if you want just so you know, but I can tell when it’s lazy world building if it’s obvious focalization on characters as opposed to their world which needs most of the work and they just need good old classic character development and I can also tell when the world building is way overwhelming (thank you Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo)

Point is, I think that discussing something right down to the finest of details, should be quite fun if I had someone else to chat with about it. So I don't see a problem. If anything you just haven't run into the right person, is all.

Like in my example I used to love nation RP's for their worldbuilding aspect. But people tend to turn it into a game of civilization instead. Give me one of those, a free hand and some time and I could spend literally days making up and talking about the worldbuilding of a setting I am making up right down to silly little things about their stance about cookery, made up myths and legends or why that particular village is called "twin mounds on the lady". But I newer ran into anyone who would be interested in striking up such a conversation with me. And the actual games just newer ever give you the chance to express all those ideas and concepts. So I can perfectly relate to you.

@PPQ Purple

My thing is similar except apparently my headcanon’s scare them off too

And that is a ... bad thing? Like there are entire youtube channels that make a living doing that. Plus, depending on the topic that sort of thing can actually be quite fun. Than again, you are talking to the guy who in order to design a hand drawing of a starship for a space opera RP ended up with several speadsheets worth of crew complement calculations and other stuff to culminate in a series of 3D models used as reference to see how much internal volume needs to be dedicated to crew transportation tunnels in order to figure out how much room I'd need to use for the air ducts and if they could fit in the rounded corners of each tunnel and how to make them crawl proof...

Oh, and than there is my current project which is making a 3D model of a made up tank that is supposed to be "plausible" down to the positions of the screws.

Have you considered a carrier in software development by the way? :)

@PPQ Purple

I don’t have the patience for IT/Computer Science, but most of my rp’s are influenced by certain books and things or are full fandom so I don’t think spreadsheets detailing things would be a good idea unless it’s my own personal Oc’s then I already have extensive profiles for them

IRL you vs Internet you!

<Snipped quote by LittleMouse>
You mean like you get stuck on one topic and that topic alone and just talk about it for ever and analyze it until you break it down to atoms and than you break those into smaller particles until you get conversational fission? Or am I getting this wrong?

@PPQ Purple

Yes, exactly that

IRL you vs Internet you!

<Snipped quote by LittleMouse>
I have a hard time believing such a thing is possible. I mean, what could you possibly have done?

@PPQ Purple

Maybe it’s my personality, like I said, hyperfixation
