The great thing about this is that we can do pretty much everything folks have mentioned- after all, different parts of this world will have different 'histories'. I love Jurgen's premise, he must have had that on his back burner for a while! And the offer of the forum and site is hard to pass up. My 2cents...>Yes, there should be a separate forum/site from EnWorld-while we want contributors and to have it 'open', we want it to be Ours -IE, separate and distinct from anything else...>In some aspects, there will be obvious similarities to other previous creations, that is inevitable. It is the Standing Challenge to take those aspects and meld them into a New and Unique Game World that will stand apart from the others...>There is a core History that we will have to agree on...Jurgen laid the groundwork there, in my opinion, we can work off of that, and then spiral off from that. But remember, Consistency is very important, along with cohesiveness-we can't have complete anarchy as far as the general developement of this world...>No one person should be straddled with undue responsibility or commitment to this project, there should be a core of people who can 'run' the whole thing,a 'council' of sorts, regardless of who has absence to due the 'real world'-jobs, family, military, life in general.>Jurgen's gracious offer should be taken seriously- with the knowledge that if it becomes  a burden to him, or his other projects, that changes may be made without his feeling obligated in any way. This should be a volunteer system by people who enjoy contributing, nothing more.>That all said, I think it would be prudent to take this to another venue, if there is agreement here. My vote would be to take Jurgen up on his offer at this time. I would think that a thread here that 'advertises' the project would be a good idea,to get more people involved, and with the URL of the new venue prominent...Then we could get to some nuts and bolts...namely...>>Develop a core History and Geography of the World,>>Create a Name>>Decide who will want to 'volunteer' in what areas-for instance, I will volunteer to create ridiculously detailed maps of the whole thing...>>and then....I really think this could something different, and something really special...this concept has been played with before, but perhaps we could do it so that it doesn't fizzle and grows like a real world would....Keep the comments coming!</blockquote>
