So here is what I'm trying to do!
I am working on a hobby of building a fictional fantasy world. I've done stuff like this before, but found my ideas alone were stale and hmm well not diverse, so I figure if I use other ideas than just my own, it will be more interesting. I plan to then plop these ideas into a map and then myself give deeper connection to them with some input from the people who helped with the ideas. This is really just a side hobby project, and I'm asking my more creative friends to give some input into this to help! So if you want to, please fire away!
I'm working on enlisting the aid of several people with different creative taste than mine to design
1. an individual area (mountain, swamp, ruins, etc), what lives there, what makes it unique (ie battle fought there in past, hero/villian born/died/lives there, item of great power lost there, etc),. Now give as little info about anything outside that area as possible (ie if there was a war just state "a great war between two nations/guilds/clans, etc. and if there was something like lots of demons, undead, magic, dead, etc), so only give info on the area.
2. come up with an idea for a "themed" city (ie floating city, mining town, town of mages, all of one race, etc, or even a pirate city) just state the relative size of the city, no info on what empire/kingdom/whatever its part of, but you can decide if it is a capital city of a monarchy/republic/magocracy, etc.
3. Design a person associated either in past or present with the area you designed (can be a monster too), why they are famous/important.
4. Design a prominent person associated with your city. why important, what they do/did there
5. Design an allie or villian for one of your designed npcs.
Stats aren't needed but if you would like to flesh them out as a d&d or other character, please feel free.
I'll of course gladly accept more input than just this, and will understand if any of you are too busy or not interested!
Thanks!
