Reactive World Design

[The_Universe]

Ask "The Universe" a question about the world, and it shall be answered.

I'm curious to see if it's possible to create a gameworld without any preconceptions. I'm going to see if I can make something based ONLY on the questions you ask.

So bring 'em on. I'm ready.

 

[DragonLancer]

Is it a world with a solar system, a seperate plane of existence, or something else?

 

[Laundreu]

What deities worshipped, if any of them, are real? Are there any deities worshipped?

 

[AIM-54]

Where does magic come from and why? What makes arcane magic different from divine magic? Is there a difference? Do both types exist or is there only one type based on where and how it is accessed?

 

[devilish]

What are the dominant species? Are they all Tolkein-esque or unique?

What's the land-to-water composition of the planet?

 

[wheeljack]

Where can I get an ale, some food, and a warm clean bed?

 

[jerichothebard]

What are the most common metals in use? for currency? for tools? for weapons?

Can I play a half-dragon?

Are there dragons?

What do the civilized folk know of their own history? Is there history (thinking of dawnforge)? Are there civilized folk?

 

[The_Universe]

Is it a world with a solar system, a seperate plane of existence, or something else?

The world is rocky sphere, in a solar system much like Earth's.

Other planes exist, but the inhabitants of the world are not consciously aware of them.

 

[ledded]

Who holds the power over sentient beings there, and how do they hold it?

 

[The_Universe]

What deities worshipped, if any of them, are real? Are there any deities worshipped?

There are three primary deities.

Lemorak, the Hearthlord, is lord of the home, and of the inner places. Karomel, the Lord of the Expanse, rules over nature - the outer places. Dorinae is the Soul lord. It is he who commands the fate of the souls of man and monster.

They are real, in the sense that they have consciousness and can actually perform most of the abilities that mortals have attributed to them. However, their true origin is *not* known by the people of the world.

The 3 gods began as mortals, refugees from another plane. For reasons that mortals do not know (and that the gods can only speculate about) they weild unparalleled power and influence over the place in which they are found.

They have corporeal bodies, but are not bound to them.
