I wonder if I could stomach an actual sailboat...

I'm about to begin work on the world map. For the time being, just get your characters in.

Using their superior airships, New Astrym evacuates its entire kingdom off of their home island, leaving it for the Empire of Astrolog to conquer. They evacuate north, exploring a new frigid island that they would now call their home. As they start settling in, the rulers of New Astrym realize that they are not just facing an enemy that they can fight and defeat, but a foe that they cannot even comprehend. In order to help their people adapt, they send out an expeditionary force consisting of the most advanced members of their society. This group of elite warriors is lead by their king, who was once the leader of one of New Astrym's exploratory expeditions. The mission is simple: explore the new land and discover any useful resources that might be lying dormant on the continent. The emperor orders his fleet to provide support to the expeditionary force, but he is concerned about their ability to survive the harsh conditions of the new land. The climate is harsher than anything they've ever experienced before, so they don't know what to expect. For this reason, the emperor orders that each member of the expedition carry a personal supply of fresh water, as well as a large amount of food. He also forbids them from taking any extra supplies or equipment, as the weight will slow them down. In addition to their gear, they are allowed to bring along one companion. The ruler of New Astrym chooses to accompany his troops himself, but he insists on bringing a second person with him in case something happens to him. The expedition heads west, traveling towards the unknown continent. It would appear that the map is going to be expanding quite rapidly. @Nameless

I’m off work at 9:30 MDT. Once I get home I’ll make the RP thread. We will continue to use this one for worldbuilding development, and continue using the doc for compiling canon.

It’s my own goshdang thread. I can do what I want.

Oh no no no no no I make maps the old-fashioned way

If y’all want I can make a map

Problem: they don’t necessarily work with the other magic systems. So the celestial body magic, I think, should be as self-contained as all the rest.

I guess I can’t stop you

I wasn’t planning on it

Alright y’all. I’ll be back in an hour or two for my next break. Please don’t make any executive decisions while I’m gone (Haly, you’re officially relieved of duty).

Oh yeah! I can do that! Beforehand, let’s make sure we got everything: - Archipelago world (or at least country setting) - The world’s a tetrahedron for some reason (I have cool lore ideas for that actually) - Celestial magic system (sun/moon/stars) - Magical island pocket dimension things - Unknown’s mess of semicolons - All of my dumb ideas (but mostly just the soul capture and pokemon knockoff) - Wizard’s Walmart Pashendi - Oh yeah and we’re pretty set on medieval fantasy rn

It would appear that we cannot find consensus So the first order of business will be to come to a consensus on how to come to a consensus

how very helpful

That sentence desperately needs some semicolons, my guy

I should also note that creating a magic system does NOT mean we're benching the idea of making it a sci-fi (either fully or partially).

I certainly agree. All the best hard magic systems (in my opinion) are simple. Allomancy, Bending, Alchemy (FMA)... Let's go from there. PEOPLE OF THE THREAD: BEGIN CREATING SUGGESTIONS
