Oh, I hope I didn't wake it too early. The winter is not yet finished.

Hello everyone.

Have you ever sat back while brain storming ideas for a pbp game and thought, "Maybe this game deserves to be set in its own world?"

Steampunk Protestant Reformation? That sounds amazing! Can't you imagine Martin Luther piloting a dirigible named "The 99 Theses" and fighting the Robot Catholic Church?

I don't think steam punk protestants they would be going against the robot catholic church if the robot designs were not art deco. Also,I'm certain the robot catholics would use diesel based technology and use gilded "neo classical retro-futuristic" design aesthetics.

Am I the only person who has the temptation to create a new world for a pbp but fears that that making a map of it might be a wasted effort ?

But then, at the same time...it like the want of building some context to a game is over powering (even if the world would be somewhat sanboxish) but then I keep getting tripped up on how abstract/representational I want the map to be...
