Discussion time: What theme will we have for the world? Here are a couple of my ideas: [center][b][h3]A: A Goth's Nightmare[/h3][/b][/center] In a world lit by a sun in a tower at it's center, which glows and dims but is never quite bright, three supernatural threats exist which plague humanity: Vampires, which subvert human civilization from within; Werewolves, whose feral packs roam the wilds devastating all in their wake to satisfy their primal urges; and the Undead, the corpse-walkers, all dead humans not cremated rising again after a day and a night to scour the world of the living. This setting would have a focus on city-states. [center][b][h3]B: The Hundred and One Year's War[/h3][/b][/center] A setting which plagiarises history to the point of theft, it would center around a kingdom, Not-France, wracked by civil war and chaos as its island neighbor- Not-England- descends upon it like a vulture. Basically, gritty non-fantasy. This setting would have a focus on dynasties. [center][b][h3]C: The Two Worlds[/h3][/b][/center] This would be both a high and low fantasy setting, simultaneously. It would be split into two continents: The Old World, where magic cackles in the air and fantastic beasts roam among the ruins of ancient civilizations, and the New, a magic-less and monster-less place akin to real-life Europe. Brave adventurers from the New World would set out in expeditions to recover wonderful artifacts from the Old World, or die trying (mostly the latter). [center][b][h3]D: War; War never changes[/h3][/b][/center] Set in the far future, it'd surround a never ending war between two space empires, which has lasted for centuries and continues to rage without an end in sight. Technology has advanced to the point where the manpower pool can be replenished as needed, where whenever a warship is lost two more are built to take its place, where worlds are colonized, irradiated, terraformed and re-colonized. The two powers would circle around one another, blowing each other to bits and taking each others' planets, the loss of which never really affects anything since they're both so spread out, and they can make space cities anyway. We'd flesh out the two nations, and the factions within them (given the state of eternal total war, even the most banal trading corporation would posses a war fleet to scour the stars). Feel free to voice opinions and suggest your own.
