[QUOTE="AngelTears, post: 539477, member: 8181"] I use a concept that when I was reading about Jean-Paul Gaultier uses. He keeps a small box with bits of ribbon, cloth, and some lace. Whenever he feels to be completely stumped he would look into this box fondling the fabrics comign out with a solution. I am very similar. I keep a collection of snipets of information, which I take out whenever I feel stumped. I use a central them for a game world and continue on that direction. As it becomes larger including several concepts I start adding texture to the world. I have to ask myself where are the internal conflicts in the world and constantly interrogate it. For reference books, I'll use anything that fits and deepens my understanding of how my imagined society might work. Whether that is books on construction, subcultures, or even ancient and modern military command structure. --- In one world I created, where I had to describe a slave race called the greys, for a Sci-Fi LARP campaign. I concluded is that they are a race that have attained telepathy, and every member is like small knot in a fish-net. The grey council is that race's focal point, being able to use the whole racial information as a lens, being able to see into the future. they discovered a race lying along it's civilization outer edge a malignant entity that's only wish was to consume. since the race had given up warfare and violence, but still needed to seem as if they were not a threat they had a the humans invade them by infiltrating key peoples minds. Over night Earth units had landed on the major home worlds, bringing with them a potent drug to inhibit telepathy, except for the bombing of the grey council. The grey's gave in very easily. The greys have been forcibly integrated into earther society as technicians and scientists. However, the second generation is starting to show resistance to the drug, and parts of the greys are startying to throw the yoke of slavery off their shoulder taking over Earth resources to fight the encroaching force... -Angel Tears [/QUOTE]
