I'm trying to keep it relatively unique though. The only time it gets written down is when I talk about it here.įor LCoE? I've got Mass Effect, Dues Ex, Eclipse Phase, Traveller, Destiny, and a few other Sci-Fi settings. Actual concrete work? Not nearly as much as I should. I'm almost always day dreaming in the back of my head about games, characters, or my various settings. My main work right now is a Sci-Fi setting in the Milky Way, but I have a name for the setting that I use when referring to it irl. Yes, but then I kept on going, since I've run 3 separate games in this world, It's a purposeful bastardization of a word that I forgot in another language that loosely means 'ceiling'. It's a little rough and loose, but it's better than the MS paint crap I use to make people mad around here.
Recently I remade a map of a major nation with Inkarnate. It's served as inspiration for basically my entire high concept. Now my worldbuilding efforts are focused on a setting for (at least) a novel. Sudden player death (or at least, permanent loss of internet presence) kinda put a damper on the whole campaign. I experienced the former example once, long ago. There's always that "eureka" moment, where you realize that "Hey, this all makes perfect sense! That's really cool!" Realizing how certain elements can work in concert, or how a new bit of inspiration makes everything click, is such a fun thing with any creative endeavor. Same with my characters, who tend to draw from all sorts of well-established media. I'm constantly checking myself to ensure I'm not simple transplanting history, but am still giving it a fresh spin. Knowledge of history is indispensable to worldbuilding, of course, but it's a double-edged sword. I'm a history nerd, so I take a lot from just reading about interesting events. And yes, I plan on the name of the planet being differing between cultures.ĭepends on the amount of free time the day gives me, but at least an hour daily. I've yet to really get into the nitty-gritty of building some conlangs, and I've assumed a name for the world will arise from that, even if it comes from one language's word for "dirt". I'll admit, this is something I have yet to puzzle out. A good idea is a good idea! That being said there's probably something out there I wish I had been the one to come up with. I'm not opposed to "stealing" an idea so I don't have regrets really. I don't think I would ever make a world solely for a campaign, I would make the world for fun and then happen to use it for a campaign. The current world I'm making is for use in a video game I'm making. Only the cosmology is really "hard" because it requires really abstract thought but even that is fun. CoC.Īll the parts are pretty fun honestly. My main historical influence is the Hellenistic Period since I want the world to be in that technological period. Other cultures have names, the civilized cultures all have one bastardized form of the name they use and the fringe cultures each have their own name. I'm sure several, but nothing comes to mind. If I ever managed to be satisfied enough with it I may actually run a game set in it. Making up cultures and the history of why they are how they are fascinates me. Even some ideas from songs tossed in there.Īnthropology. There's a lot of ideas from novels/rpg settings mixed with stuff from real world cultures. Yes but I can't be arsed to come up with them. >Do different cultures have different names for your world? >What's the name of your world? What does it originate from?Īntum, from the word Antumnos, the gaulish other/underworld. >What's an idea that you wish you had come up with? >Have you ever spent a bunch of time and energy on a world, just to have your group end after a couple of sessions? Or do you worldbuild for a book/comic/just for the fun of it?
