[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6260922, member: 50895"] Oh, I agree, as the OP agrees there are books on world building, but cooperative world building is the question. I stated that the Cartographers' Guild has a cooperative world building project, but it is in its second iteration and just now they are deciding on the 'rules'. So while they are working on that, they have yet to have rules in place. I'm thinking the rules would pertain to issues like what can participants include that don't step on the toes of other participants or the over-arching concept of the setting. Right now, at the CG, for instance, some people want to make steam-punkish elements and guns, while others want a completely old world setting without Renaissance and post-Renaissance science sticking its foot into it - they don't want steampunk nor guns. How does such a project deal with issues like that. These would fall under cooperative world building rules. [/QUOTE]
