Ooh… more hints for the map. :) I'll go slap a little more detail on, though I probably won't bother sending a revised draft at least until you say a bit about the remaining areas you mention. Gonna have to stretch the western mountains out–but I'd already guessed as much. One quick...

Add "Religion." It seems likely to play a fairly important role (or at least have the potential to) from what you've given thus far.

Thank you. I was fairly confident the general shape would be acceptable, or I would've stopped early on. Still plenty of empty space for additional development/detail, even if nothing already on it gets moved. Speaking of which.… There was one thing I forgot to mention: I may have the...

Map sent.* :) Yes, I'd be willing to assist with any modding required. *(Along with lengthy explanation. Get used to that from me. Ask anyone… I have a reputation. Heh.)

@Nimue: I now have the beginnings of a map, based solely upon your description of the setting thus far. It may be nothing like what you had in mind, but it's a starting point. It's also a bit bulky to be uploading here for something that's just a draft. If you want me to e-mail it to you, send...

Philster401: Thank you. - Either is possible. (Not sure how well Heverik would fare in this setting… the main reason I'd be inclined to bring only his fair lady. Unless we feel the need for unrelieved comic relief… heh.) Hiljikki popped into my mind mainly because of the names already in...

Yep… though more to the point, I use SketchUp for those. It isn't too hard to create topo features, but it's a real pain to remove them without hosing up everything around them.… :rolleyes: I don't figure we really need that level of detail. Might do a couple of narrow-scope ones for...

That line was more for LS's sake… and he got it. :D The character in question was a first-level druid in a d20 setting. Rather than take the traditional "best-combat-critter-you-can-get-at-first-level" companion, she opted for a pair of smaller companions who augmented her...

Oh, and if you'd care to allow the collaborative storytelling to extend beyond text posts, I might be able to unwiggle that for ya a bit. In fact, I'd be happy to do it even if I don't play.

I might be interested. Have to go back over the setting and see if it sings to me. Probably about time I crawled back out of my cave and became active around here again anyway. :p Do animal companions count? ;) [Admittedly, none of them breathed fire. But they still had their uses.]

Sounds like an excellent notion. One suggestion from experience: you may need to beat prospective participants over the head with the notion that there's no dice-rolling involved. Some people seem to have difficulty reconciling their notion of "game" with a notion of "moderated collective...

Sounds like you're well on your way. Again, I'd warn that making the aether do what you have it do would also "scramble" a lot of other things–such as light from the star to its planets. I gather your "stars" aren't really stars, so possibly this has already been dealt with; still, having the...

I've used an interstellar medium before, albeit in a rather more "pure fantasy" setting, where if you wanted to reach the stars, you began by sailing your ship off the edge of the (flat) world… at which point adhering to normal physics became fairly rhetorical. :p The only reason to avoid...

Ah, but with aether, you won't need a propellantless drive: you can use a ramjet. ;) If you do have an interplanetary/interstellar medium, you're gonna need protection no matter what your acceleration is like: friction is still friction. Most practical might be something which polarizes the...

Short answer: yes, it's possible. The key is the distance separating the main bodies–i.e. that it be great enough that at least some smaller bodies can orbit them. The problem is that this may not be quite what you had in mind. This would, in effect, be three separate tightly-spaced solar...
