  1. I'm confused. I thought that there was going to be one Ritual system. If we are doing multiple, they should all be slight variations on the same basic magic source. I think that we should take a step back from all forms of Cosmere magic, including Hemalurgy. We're using the base Cosmere system, but the actual magic should be as different from the Metallic Arts as the Metallic Arts are from, say, Surgebinding. Perhaps the Innate magic could be channeling a formation of energy (such as a crystal) in a specific way. The Ritual magic would be utilizing that energy in a different way (and maybe a less powerful one), but one that could be used by anyone.
  2. I think that Metallic Arts, Aviar, fabrials, etc. should still work even in another universe. The Alleyverse is sort of its own universe, and stuff works there. I don't think that we should do the nature spirit/human combo thing, as that's very similar to how Surgebinding works. I think that the ecology aspect would just be how the landscape is shaped by the thoughts and beliefs. Each person would probably not be able to do anything by themselves, but groups of people could have effects that could be both automatic and controlled. I like this idea. I would imagine this sort of magic would be more science-y like the Selish magics, too, and would be able to have technology based off it. What if we had crystals made of Investiture that could be dug up and used for power?
  3. The thing about most Cosmere magic systems is that they're very tied to the planet. Surgebinding needs the highstorms, Elantrians and Forgers need the Dor, Sand Mastery needs the Invested Sunlight and the sand. The Alleyplanet gets around a lot of these restrictions, forming a place where the different magic systems can intermingle, but we don't really need another. So I agree that we shouldn't copy the magic systems of the Cosmere that exist; I am suggesting is creating a new magic system that's based on Cosmere principles (Investiture, Realms, etc) that has minimal or no reliance on the others.
  4. This is more or less what I was suggesting. I was going to extrapolate, but I was in a hurry. I think the SR is better than the CR in terms of changing to reflect the thoughts of the inhabitants, but it would certainly have a harder time merging with the PR. Maybe all three realms could be tied more closely to one another, so that changes in one are reflected in the others.
  5. The idea sounds like a great one, but I don't think hemalurgy really fits the idea. (TUBA is hardly going to be down for a hemalurgy based proposition anyways.) Maybe it could be an inherent function of the landscape, where the Physical aspect is tied to the Spritual.
  6. Hello everyone! This thread is for planning a fantasy world as voted on in the Chat Thread. Fantasy is a pretty broad topic, so there are a lot of different settings that we could come up with, ranging from the extremely bizarre to the almost normal. In my opinion, it's probably best if we based it off of Sanderson magic systems, but that still leaves a wide range of possibilities open to us. A few options have already been presented, but nothing's been decided on yet. Post here if you have an idea on what you think this fantasy world should be! Master Planning Google Doc Here's what we have so far:
  7. I guess I'll make the fantasy thread, then?
  8. Should we make threads for the Fantasy/Wild West/Sci-fi worldbuilding, then?
  9. Enolc turned towards the horizon. The sun was already beginning to set. He chewed his lip, deep in thought. "We'll be leaving after the Alleystorm, which arrives in a couple of hours. Can your associate be here by then?" Behind him, he heard the crash of the hut as X knocked it over. He turned around and winced when he saw the two scientists from TUBA crawling angrily out of the wreckage. Of course they'd be in the one hut that got knocked over.
  10. The shadow stepped forwards in long, slow strides towards Kera.
  11. Ladem hissed silently to himself as he watched the proceedings. More people were dying. He had been so sure that Marwyn had been a spy. He had heard her lies. But she was innocent. So the blame lay elsewhere. He looked around at his fellow travelers. Which of them would be the next killed? And which of them were the killers?
  12. I'm not really interested in having a character in a horror story. I'd like to help plan it out, though.
  13. The longest thread should be called the longest thread.
  14. Because that is its purpose. We do not need two threads merely to chat.
  15. One word. Superfight. You could unify the Random Stuff thread.
  16. That's not what it means. Only the last post ever on the thread will win. Narrator Xino points out the existence of the Random Stuff thread.
  17. Narrator Xino points out that only the last post wins.
  18. Narrator Xino expresses his frustration that the Last Posters seem to misunderstand the rules of their own thread.
  19. Kelsier’s “snake” jumped backwards. Narrator Xino mutters that TLPW grows faster because its quality is worse.
  20. The door to the lower deck creaked as Enolc pushed it open. He looked at the hinges and sighed. Only a few days, and they were already getting squeaky? He turned, shaking his head, and his eyes fell upon the small group that had begun to gather. His face lit up. "Are you here for the expedition?" @Sherlock Holmes
  21. Tom Joebob. He was a much better villain, after all.
  22. Jasnah didn't care. Maybe Kelsier wasn't so bad after all...
