Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 8345702" data-attributes="member: 467">One thing that came up in my "PlaneJammer" setting development is how I am basing some world building elements entirely on an aspect I want or feel I need in the game and working backwards and forward from that thing.For example, I want there to be robust, Age of Sail style trade and so I needs goods to move pretty regular through the Astral Sea. That means a couple things, most importantly that there are a decent number of relatively large settlements of people that need food, clothing and shelter (along with other non-essentials). In the canon Astral, people are just thought constructs and they don't have such base needs. As such, I made a couple world building decisions:A) My Astral Sea is a real place with physical laws (however strange) and not a psychic realm.B) But it is mutable and collections of beings alter it in the immediate vicinity, so groups of more than a few mortal individuals create pockets of basic need among them.This latter part has a whole bunch of implications going forward (including my Astral Zombies, which I won't go into here) which I am still working out.</blockquote>
