COMMUNITY WORLDBUILDING

---

It's (finally) here — our first setting changeover! The Cavern has given way to The Desert. We apologize for the delay in getting everything written up for you, and we hope it was worth the wait!

However, now that there are a few souls who have made their first Crossing journey, they might find that the world they inhabit is beginning to change... Perhaps less empty, and maybe even more familiar.

There are two options for players to contribute to the setting: creatures, and locations. These can be something entirely new that you cook up yourselves, or it can be inspired (directly or indirectly) by a canon setting, be it yours, someone else's, or one not yet represented in the game.

While it is definitely not required that these contributions be inspired by a canon setting, we encourage it as a way for the setting to begin reflecting characters back to them!

Feel free also to use this post to brainstorm, discuss, or plot as is helpful for you!

CREATURES

Creatures may be anything you like, plant or animal, so long as it generally correlates with the theme of the setting (ie, a desert biome). While there is no limit on including predatory creatures in the bestiary, keep in mind that characters can't be hurt by anything outside of a Crossing event, so no creature can be used as a material threat to characters... until The Crossing, of course.

To submit a creature, fill out this form and reply in a comment here.

<b>CREATURE NAME</b>: # What's the best thing to call this creature? # <b>CREATURE DESCRIPTION</b>: # What does it look like, what are its behavior patterns, etc. Feel free to link to pictures or videos as is helpful! # <b>CANON INSPIRED?</b> # If so, let us know which one(s)! #

LOCATIONS

The Dunes of the Desert can be difficult to traverse, swirling as they are with clouds of dust, and with little in terms of landmarks to track. It's easy to get turned around there, even lost... and you might stumble upon another place in the Desert that no one else has seen before.

Locations should be small (in the sense that they could be easily explored/traversed by a single character), and like creatures generally be on-theme with the setting. They will be accessible to characters who choose to explore the Dunes, though it will be extremely difficult to map them, or guide anyone else to them once a character has been there already.

To submit a location, fill out this form and reply in a comment here.

<b>LOCATION NAME</b>: # How should we refer to this location on the setting page? # <b>LOCATION DESCRIPTION</b>: # What is this location like, and what is there to see or find? Pictures or videos are welcome if you have them. # <b>CANON INSPIRED?</b> # If so, let us know which one(s)! #

LOCATION NAME: Skyscraper Ruins
LOCATION DESCRIPTION: The burned out husk of what was once a skyscraper. All the windows are shattered and there isn't so much a door as there is a gaping hole. The graffiti on the outside is written in Japanese and says nothing pleasant, talking of despair and death, marking out territory, and promising violence. There are drawings of a weird teddy bear as well. There's not much inside; it's all a crumbled mess, and what little of the floors and staircases that remain aren't safe to put any weight on. There are long-dried bloodstains on the ground floor.
