Yay! A start! I have a few on my mind right now that'll work for a Tales Drinking Game!

Huzzah!
I'm now playing through Dawn of the New World again, and this is just driving in how delightfully awkward it all is.

Ah, the Dwarven Potluck thread! Hmm, it might be worth starting up a new forum game or two sometime with the new members and such.

Wand of wonder? Could you remind us what you mean?
Or... Do we even know? [creepy sci-fi music]

Oh, that Rod of Wonder! Good times. Is that why you're blue? Perhaps that's Azura's superhero origin story.

That's revenge for messing up my potion! and now that the hero of this world has been defeated nothing can stop me from taking over the world with creamy goodness! MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!


Also in random news I started making a parallel Aselia
[It was very random; an idea for a char turned into a parallel version of Origin which of course meant he needed a world to exsist in; and the data quickly piled up]

I'm mostly working on the spirits at the moment [Though I'm also putting down some base details like the timeline and universeal facts and some random stuff like summon invoke phrases]

W-what is this ominous Chase that threatens to engulf us?

Man, I'm sad that I missed out on all of this old-school guilding.



The hero of this world? That's why we have a supporting cast! Who will join me in reviving the great Neji/Kaiser/Keith Richards (don't ask, I just like the name)/Hero Person?
...What, you thought I meant that I would be leading you into glorious battle as a temporary replacement protagonist? Nah, I'm just the Katz guild representative. Meow.


Anyway, world-building. That's always neat, and kind of fun if you really get rolling. However, putting the details into practice (for games/RPs) is another thing entirely, though.
