However, rather than craft a world and place it into the fold, the intent is instead to allow a space for this creation whilst also experiencing this fledgling verse as it manifests. As such certain guidelines must be established, lest it be chaos which results from collaboration, rather than a harmonic world, though surely not one bereft of conflict in its myriad forms. This is to be a roleplay wherein a world is brought to bear by the inhabitants who dwell within it, whomever they may be. Its genres will be listed below, as well as some core themes as they are considered and finalized. Central to this RP's mechanics will be a series of systems namely the Lore, Tier, Setting, and Accountability systems--The LATT System, for short. join, feel free to express interest here in the OOC, though you will have to go through the Accountability system before joining in on the fun. Regardless, welcome! Let your stay be a long one.[/sub][/h3][hr][h3][b]Thematics[/b][/h3][hr] Science Fiction Modern Fantasy high Fantasy Dark Fantasy The above genres are likely to be central to Patchwork, though it is hard to say what other sorts of things will find their place in this fledgling world as it grows from its infancy as an idea to adulthood as a fully realized verse. Who knows what might happen.[hr][h3][b]LATS[/b][/h3][hr] As mentioned earlier, LATS is a series of systems which will be utilized as guidelines for various elements of the RP. Specifically LATS will be utilized to organize (L)ore, player (A)ccountability, power (T)ier, and (S)etting. These will be utilized to organize and facilitate character and lore creation, as well as organize Power Levels/combat, and the location/timeline of characters and areas. They are expanded on in the OOC. [h3][sub][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/92187-a-patchwork-world-worldbuilding-and-exploration/ooc]OOC[/url][/sub][/h3][/center]
