The CBB Makes a Conworld

[WizardOfWar]

The rules are simple:

• 1. Make a world with your fellow CBB enthusiasts

• 2. Create some Culture(s) And a place to put them

• 3. Simulate the world through text

[Creyeditor]

Should the physical properties planet be like Earth unless noted?

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Unless someone is willing to put in the work.

[TBPO]

Maybe something fantasy?

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Should we have magic?
Should we have non-humans?
Should we have non-physical beings?

[Creyeditor]

yes, no, no

[TBPO]

Can we make the same culture for the CBBlang and the CBBworld?

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Can we make the same culture for the CBBlang and the CBBworld?

That might be a good idea, but I’m afraid that might elevate one conculture as the “main conculture”, as opposed to having them be on equal footing. But only a problem assuming that everyone will be working on a different conculture within the world, which is what I assumed (and what I think is the best way to go about it).

Ok. So, summarizing: we make fantasy world with magic but no non-humans and no non-physical beings.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Does anyone want to volunteer to make a map? Does anyone have any special map requests?

[Creyeditor]

I am bad at maps but I would like to request an oasis close to some caves in a desert that is mountaneous but reasonably close to some potentially urban area.

So in terms of the world map that would mean a mountain range in the desert near the coast of a body of water. The rest of the details can come later in regional maps.

[TBPO]

What with magic system?

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Since we decided not to have any spirits or anything that means magic probably shouldn’t come from another realm. That leaves a few potential sources:
1. Souls
2. The earth itself, including the ground and ecosystems
3. Celestial bodies
4. Some magical substance; a plant, stone, etc
5. A mystical “wyrd” or force that permeates the universe, possibly the source of existence and fate

I propose a combination of systems 3 & 4, where certain magical stones or metals are aligned with celestial bodies by type, shape, forging, interaction, etc. I also propose that this system works through a true name system in which the true names of the celestial bodies are engraved on different magical stones for different effects.

[TBPO]

We must start making first conculture(s). I propose the war of Viking-like barbarians and mountain ninjas on a Grenland-sized island. (I now that this idea sucks, but it's better than nothing.)

+Every conculture has its own type of magic.
++Every participant does one conculture.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

Ok if no one else will I’ll make a map sometime soon. And I’ll probably divide it into sections so everyone can claim a section.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

+Every conculture has its own type of magic.

Yes, I think this will help keep everyone happy.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

What do you think about this:


Sorry for the rough drawing. If you have any feedback or requests, let me know. I will come back with a final draft that will include subdivisions for picking where your conworld lives and mountains (so please tell me where you wants mountains, but be realistic). Anyone is welcome to create the final draft or draw a competing map.

[TBPO]

A Grenland-sized island with a lot of mountains please.

[HolyHandGrenade!]

A Grenland-sized island with a lot of mountains please.

Ok I’ll add some mountain ranges to Continent 2
