I've always been interested in the worldbuilding aspect of writing an RP almost moreso than I'm interested in the actual RPing, and certainly moreso that I care about the storyline. As a player, especially in fantasy settings, I've always liked exploring the worlds created by others; the various cultures, the histories, the politics and the religions. I've liked this almost as much as I've enjoyed questing to Mount Mordor to kill Loki and destroy the Death Star or whatever the plot actually is (unless it's a more open-world type thing where I can do whatever I want, in which case the plot often revolves around the various things I mentioned earlier).
As such, I propose a massive collab. I reckon that those of us who want to can come together to create a massive world with a long history and many varying cultures. I'm thinking that, if enough of you want to, we should all work together to create Generic Fantasy World #22 and flesh it out as much as is god damned possible. What I'll do is create a proboards, create many sub-boards and whatnot and allot everyone involved a set of, say, 100 to 150 years, and then compile as much information as possible on our fictional world. I'll explain my plan in more detail if people are actually interested, but, if you guys are interested, the first order of business is relatively simple - we need a name. |

I'm interested. I've even got several world-building ideas always floating around my head.
As for names... I've got several different ideas depending on what exactly the shape and form of the world is. A good, neutral name is one in another language, probably slightly modified. How about Glasbyd? Or is that too Irish/Celtic/Welsh? |

| Glasbyd seems a tad bit too celtic to be based on Europe in general, but I could just be being nitpicky. I'll see what other people have to say first. |

I'm down, no suggestions for names though.
Still, fantasynamegenerator.com has one for place names and stuff, in different lanugages and fantasy themes. |

| Actually, now that I think about it, Glasbyd is fine for a name. I'll get to work making the proboard now. |

You can actually get caps in Proboards
Go to your profile settings, and find the second tab on taop, next to the avater changer. It lets you change your username, and you can put in the caps. |
