Help to Create an Ambitious Free Fantasy Setting for all Scratch Users!
REPLYING TO ALL: I like the runes and what Clarence said. Should I write this down somewhere? I'll make a doc. Does anyone want to start moving on? Not everyone has to, but I feel like we should also finish deciding on a draft map.

I was more think of something where the materials used to make the rune in part determines it’s effect.OK, how about this?I think that if we were to adopt a rune-based magic system, then the material the runes are made out of should have a great deal of importance, to highlight the natural resources of certain regions in their magical practices, like I mentioned in my idea. -snip-
The material the runes are made out of is what transfers energy into the magical field, with metallic thaumium being the most efficient.

- The material the runes are made out of is what transfers energy into the magical field.
- The efficiency of the energy transfer depends on the specific material and the effects of the resulting spell.
- While the language the runes are written in doesn't matter that much, older languages typically yield better efficiencies.
- Pure materials perfectly suited for the required spell typically achieve efficiencies of 75%.
- Like electrical resistors, inefficient runes convert wasted energy into heat.
- Metallic thaumium is the only material that can be used for any rune-based spell, but it rarely exceeds 50% efficiency.
- Mixing other materials into metallic thaumium yields the best possible efficiencies at ~96%, but drastically loses efficiency for spells that don't align with the added material.

Yeah, we should start thinking about a few other aspects now that we have the basics of the magic system. REPLYING TO ALL: I like the runes and what Clarence said. Should I write this down somewhere?

Here's our current list of requirements for a map:Yeah, we should start thinking about a few other aspects now that we have the basics of the magic system.

Geography:
dwarven kingdom / northern mountains
southern orc river-villages
eastern forests
western orc towns
Is there anything that we know hasn't been put on it yet?

There is a process that I think we should follow for creating the various cultures in the world.
1. Geography
What natural resources do they have? What is the climate like there? The land? Is it landlocked or surrounded by seas? Who are it's neighbors?
2. History
Why and who might people settle here? What might people need to do to survive here? What beliefs and ideals would form as a result? How did the government, economy, etc. develop? How old is this society compared to it's neighbors. How might they react to the existence of this culture? So on and so forth.
3. Culture
How are things going now? What event or changes are currently happening?

I think we should begin initially with just the basic geography (make sure that's all correct) then move onto constructing the history and culture of the world. I think based on the world pieces we have so far, it might be nice to go for a colder, northern climate- I mean, we've got mountains, forests and rivers.

That's what I was suggesting with that. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.I think we should begin initially with just the basic geography (make sure that's all correct) then move onto constructing the history and culture of the world. I think based on the world pieces we have so far, it might be nice to go for a colder, northern climate- I mean, we've got mountains, forests and rivers. -snip-
Edit: Speaking of which, assuming the An-canes are going to be accepted as cannon, I think we should start my determining one area as the first place of settlement for them, to get an idea of how long each region's culture is in relation to each other. The farther they are from the first place, the younger they'll tend to be.

Hello everyone.
I'm going to be taking a long break from scratch and will therefore not be able to run this collaboration. If anyone else wishes to take control, you are welcome to, however you may want to make a new thread so that you can update the OP.

Ack sorry for not being on for so long? Does everyone actually want to do this? I really do and I show good leadership skills. I'll be more active on my other accounts (Reine_Regina and -Willa-) so maybe I could start it from there if I get chosen? Please choose me!!!!
Anyway, we should still work, so:
Oh! Wait! Could we just be like a council of leaders with no one person to lead? It would be easier and do we really need a leader? If we must have one, I would like it to be me, but otherwise I'd say Clarence, I guess.
