[QUOTE="Cevalic, post: 1647, member: 171"] (December 23, 2000) This thread is supposed to see how many people are interested in building a world, maybe getting a forum for it, but that's a long shot. So, since I had the idea of the world building thread, I guess that puts the ball in my hands. The following is the world I'm working on, please feel free to comment, I can always use some advice. Here we go. A brief campaign background The PC's were told of a new continent to the north. The empire hired people to go explore and colonize the continent, and of course the PC's decided to go (note: the new continent was a way for me to try something new , like exploration, and make some places that I had wanted to for a while). To make a long story short (I don't want to focus on the story, maybe I'll post about that in another thread) one of the PC's used a one-time magic item to cast Elemental Swarm, and had them level the town in work on the new continent. The empire, which lost more money than in could (also engaged in a war) called the whole thing off, and the PC's are stranded on this new continent they know nothing about). A brief overview of the continent so far The PC's started in an enormous forest, two hundreds miles north to south, and about three hundred miles east to west. It's divided up into sections of creatures controlling it, and the PC's haven't left it yet (thankfully giving me more time to create). Here are the places I have so far (I will detail them in the coming days/weeks and tell where they are in relation to the forest the PC's started out in): A nation of magic using dwarves deep in a set of mountains. It's going to be a mageocracy. They aren't all that interested in gems and jewels as other dwarves are. An empire of civilized orcs. They aren't barbaric like orcs on the southern continent. The empire will have a lawful good alignment (I think). A small country of bugbears, trained to fight since they were born. They are complete military fanatics. The country, while small, packs a punch. They even have a version of the Navy SEALS. This country will have to be lawful evil. Ogre nation, barbaric. A nation of giants that rule a decent chunk of the continent. They are constantly at war with the orcs. Halfling barbarians tribes that fight each other for rule of the plains. They harass the orcs sometimes, and pose a threat when they mount together. What I'm trying to make now Names. For everything possible. Does anyone know a good place to find them? More nations. Monasteries, druidic circles, ect... Well, that's just a brief overview of everything. I'll get to work posting more in the next few days... [/QUOTE]
