[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 368431, member: 627"] I am making a plea for help to probably one of the most creative communities on the web I know. I have been working on my campaign world for the past two years. Mostly focusing on (and play-testing) the mechanics for my little version of fantasy-reality. The crunchy stuff. All the while I have been creating and jotting down all the flavor stuff I can. The fluff. But I have hit a creative wall in the road and I need your help in breaking down the wall. My home-brew is yet ANOTHER post-apocalyptic world and in this world there are 50 remaining great remnant cities from the long sundered Mage-Lord Empire that once spanned the globe. The cities are huge by medieval standards easily supporting some 100,000 people in each. I have created a few (for play-test purposes) but now I need to flesh the rest of them out. I’m working on the world map and I want to place them so I can start working on various regions. Each region will be influenced to a great extent by these remnant cities. Here is what I have so far: 1) City name: Argos Hook-major shipbuilding city built on a partially collapsed volcanic bubble. 2) City name: Odessa Hook- city is built inside a huge freestanding plateau. 3) City name: Cairhor Hook: City has modern irrigation technology. The center of the city is a gigantic pyramid where the ruler and government reside. 4) City name: Asgard Hook: Barbarian city built in the middle of a vast lake. City has the world’s largest drawbridge 5) City name: Atlanta City is built on a giant anchored platform like a modern day oilrig, out in the middle of the ocean. If we could build oilrigs that big. Here is what I need. Each city obviously needs a name and a hook that makes it a little unique. The hook can be something magical or technological or even geographical. My world is slightly steam punk. The world used to be dominated by magically based technology but now the survivors have had to adapt a lot of the technology to work with out magic. This has resulted in crude forms of water and steam power. Probably on par with late 16th to early 17th century technology. The hooks can be fantastical. The more bizarre the better. So I have 5 so far, I need help coming up with another 45!!!! Can you help a poor struggling home brewer????:confused: [/QUOTE]
