Nakana Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I thought this might be fun if there are enough people that are interested. I'm kind of taking the idea of Questworld and applying it to the gamers instead of publishers. Here is a rudimentary map of a blank world: The idea is that a person can "adopt a country" and populate it full of towns, cities, villages, mountains, rivers, NPC's, adventures and all kinds of other good stuff; then all the creativity and content would be uploaded and available to share and use as a generic fantasy world in which to game. Is it a lot of work? Maybe.(Depends on you) Could it be a lot of fun? Hell yeah! We might even have a little mini-game involving the countries using Runequest Empires. Who knows? So if you are interested then the first step is to select your country. (First come, first serve) *If you want the fun of randomization, roll 1d4 (1-2=low, 3-4=high) If you rolled low, then roll 1d12. (Countries 1-12) If you rolled high, then roll 1d12+12 (13-24) The greyed out countries are not available to start because 1) the isolation could be an unfair advantage or disadvantage, and 2) I thought it would be more fun to develop those countries either collaboratively through story or by empire takeover. So who's interested? P.S. I rolled randomly and claim country 24. 1 Quote BGB = BRP Gold. New book = BRP Platinum. Stay metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakana Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 For clarification (if enough people are interested) once you select your country, I'll send you maps (with and without hex grids) of your country so you can start populating them. *This will require a printer and scanner or some sort of paint program.

tooley1chris Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Is the global climate assumed to be Earthlike? Extreme northern and southern parts arctic, Equatorial area tropic? Sounds like fun. I'll bite! I randomly rolled 10.

Nakana Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 I haven't fleshed that much out. (Didn't want to spend too much time on this if there was a lack of interest.) To keep the scale small enough that adventurers can reasonably travel from one kingdom to another, let's say that this isn't the entire planet, but rather a continental region. Climate is fairly moderate with pleasant springs and autumns, bitter winters and subtropic summers. Quote BGB = BRP Gold. New book = BRP Platinum. Stay metal.

auyl Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm intrigued by this and where it could go, unfortunately I don't really have the time. I might be willing to give this a go if I'm writer-blocked on my other major project, but no promises.

Nakana Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 This is interesting... a google search lead me back to this site. http://basicroleplaying.org/forum/5-sharedworld/ I had no idea. (I guess I just dismissed the idea of looking in the "inactive" forums for obvious reasons.) Quote BGB = BRP Gold. New book = BRP Platinum. Stay metal.

Chaot Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yeah, that's where the Green came from. Good stuff in there. It's always nice to start new though and I'd be interested in doing some stuff on your project. There was yet another shared worlds bro project that was held over at Zunder's Tavern. It resulted in Gwenthia. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakana Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've looked into Gwenthia and it's very interesting; however, I wouldn't want to game in that world because I feel it's too unique. Which is partly my problem with Glorantha. I guess when it comes to "worlds" I prefer something more generic and simpler. I love settings like the Nentir Vale and The Southern Reaches because they give you a great jumping off point to get started while leaving plenty of room to hash out your own spin on things. 1 Quote BGB = BRP Gold.

Chaot Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I've looked into Gwenthia and it's very interesting; however, I wouldn't want to game in that world because I feel it's too unique. Which is partly my problem with Glorantha. I understand and am largely the same way. In general, I want a world that's lightly brushed out and leaves a lot to be decided in real time. I want the feel to be there without all of the details. Others like delving into that stuff, which is good. I'm going to end up forgetting half of it anyway! 1 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the DM Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sounds interesting, I don't know if my meager data plan will hold out but If I'm able I'd like to help. If it turns out I'm unable to help, I'll let you know. I didn't realize my first post would have me signing up for something like this. I got 23 random rolling BTW. 1 Quote Imagine, Adventure, Have Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the DM Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Welcome to basicroleplaying.org Dave! Glad you're interested in this project. the whole point is for this to be fun and creative, so no worries Thanks. Making a world, or in this case a nation, is the most fun part of Game Mastering for me so I'm relatively sure I'll enjoy it. 1 Quote Imagine, Adventure, Have Fun!

Dave the DM Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Here's a copy of a small map I made until I got the official ones. I think I may need to remove the provinces though.

Nakana Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 No! I think it's great! And my apologies about the delay, I received a windfall of websites to build in the past three days so I've been über busy. I should be able to get those maps to you tomorrow, however. Great work!

Dave the DM Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I know it's been two months but I thought I'd share what I've done on Project sandbox after getting the official map from Nakana, I've been busy with helping remodel my mother's house so I haven't done much.I used the Sketchy Cartography Brushes from Deviant art for the mountains and forests. I'm hoping to finish my cities towns and over abundant roads soonish. Edited August 24, 2015 by Dave the DM 3 Quote Imagine, Adventure, Have Fun!

MrJealousy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm going to jump in and rolled a... 4.

Chaot Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm not Nakana so I obviously can't call the rules here. Personally, I'm keeping an eye on what's done (the excellent work of Dave the DM) while doing what I want. Right now I'm brewing up some civilized urban animistic theocratic orcs with an eye towards animal husbandry and truth magic who are currently fighting a semi-secret war against a dwarves lich-lord. 3 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexelis Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I saw this months ago, I'm jumping in. I rolled 13. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakana Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 First, let me say that it's really exciting to see more people having interest in this! I need to get my stuff uploaded as well. Second, MrJealousy, yes.. primarily medieval/high fantasy. However, the idea is that each person has full control of their own country. So while modern/futuristic would seem out of place, something like flying ships powered by magic is certainly plausible. Regarding scale, I need to update the map to show that specifically, but just for some ad hoc scope, Rosefall would be comparable to France. Third, if anyone would like a hex gridded and non hex gridded map of their country just send me a PM. Last, I'm really looking forward to seeing that vast differences from one country and culture to another. Quote BGB = BRP Gold. New book = BRP Platinum. Stay metal.
