[QUOTE="Prisoner6, post: 4537169, member: 54021"] I'm thinking about putting together a new game world for a fantasy setting (probably some form of D&D). I just started brainstorming on "New World" and I thought ... hey, why not take it literally. Imagine a world that is only a few hundred years old. In fact, it's still being built (or rebuilt) by fickle young gods who view the universe as their sandbox. They slap up mountain ranges one day, but change their mind and drop in some tundra two months later. Here are a few ideas I have: + The world is young, very young, perhaps less than a thousand years old. + All races are few in number, perhaps only a few hundred. Each major race resides in a single town. + Magic is everywhere, yet undeveloped. + No spells exist beyond level 4. (It hasn't been discovered/invented. Maybe the PCs will invent it). + Magic items are rare, but all unique, and often “glitched”. + There's one kooky artificer somewhere who makes magic items, but it's all very experimental. +The gods and goddesses are all children. They're avatars are children. They act like children. They have very short attention spans. +The gods are currently building the world, which they thing of as their “sandbox”. Terrain is constantly changing on the whim of the gods. +Creatures called the Gid work on building the world, yet they word independent of the gods. The Gid are hairless, yet squirrel-like. When killed, they explode, making a sharp squeaking noise. Sometimes this happens spontaneously. I'm looking to bounce some ideas around about a "brand new world". I don't mind a little silliness or weirdness. In fact, weird might be good in this setting. [/QUOTE]
