Interest for a Worbuilding Game?

Basically, we create a fictional world from scratch. We make a poll to decide how realistic it should be, the options being:


  • Earth: The game will progress in many stages. In the first stage, we will decide on a rough layout of the continents. No details are required yet, but we just want to know what the planet might look like from outer space. In the second stage, we will refine the coastlines and add small islands and lakes to finish the land-water profile of the planet. Then we will go on to create elevation maps, climate maps, and soon we will get to the most important part - people.

  • Fantasy: Similar to the above, but this world is emphatically not Earth or even in our own Universe, laws of physics must not need be the same, etc. For example, we could have a flat world with the sun and moon orbiting around it.


This being a game in itself, each post would add something to the world, according to the stage we're in. For example, Player X adds a continent to the west, then Player Y adds some islands off it's coast -additions of any player would not be able to be retconed unless by consensus of all other players.

Yay, we got one vote. We really need something like 3 players at least before we could start though.

Slow and steady...
I'd vote and participate, but I've grown accustomed to you showing up for a little bit and then just disappearing, so I'm not going to even bother getting hyped up. :/

But this is just a forum game, Sin; there'd be no need of even moderating it if I suddenly dissapeared. And I feel typecasted, the last two RPs I did, Chronicles of Hyrule and Dark Lord's Army, failed without me leaving, I was there the whole time until they died :(

So either way, get the show on the road- tell us what you want to do.

Ok, here is a proposal for No.2, the Fantasy Worldbuilding game:

The world is a disc, as I said. My proposal for climates and biomes (which we would add in Stage 2) is as follows: areas and regions around the edge of the world are warmer because they are closer to the orbit of the sun (the center being the coldest regions). There are multiple moons that also orbit around the disc, but ironically they are farther away than the sun.

What lies beyond the edge is unknown. Probably cosmic ocean, that is, like space, but less empty and depressing, people in this world might be able to sail across it with magic space-ships. That we would decide later, in Stage 2

So the map is simple on purpose. Use something like MS Paint, or Paint.NET/Inkscape if you're feeling brave, and start filling landmasses. Doesn't matter if they're ugly, just leave enough space for everyone else, and when it's finished and before next stage, I'll pretty it up.

Example of a turn in this stage (Stage 1; filling up the map):

-I add a small subcontinent/archipelago near the center.
