The Blood of Dead Gods: March 2013

So here's the idea...

This blog is the beginning of an experiment. I've been working idly on the fantasy world of Maeleff for a few months, typing on my phone during subway rides, and I think I may have the beginnings of something here. However, I'm lazy and bad at following through with things, so I'd like help.

Specifically, I'd like to turn this idea into an open world fictional universe. My friends and creative folk will be invited to peruse the information I have on the world, and to play with it. Write characters. Write stories. Add races, city-states, monsters and ancient ruins. I'd like to write stories, role play, and generally allow my friends to help me explore and create a rich, if someone forbidding, fantasy world.

Game systems

Been looking at open source tabletop RPGs, to try and find one to fit BoDG, but can't find anything that grabs me. Either not flexible enough to easily handle the corruption and transformation processes, or don't have a stat system that I think will fit. I think I really may have to just design a bare bones story based system and leave it at that.

Maeleff Underground maps!

TIL - the MTA has maps online of the subway tunnels all throughout NYC. I think I've found an instant map for some of the underground tunnels and pathways that cut all through Maeleff.

Note to self

Need to remember to write up Despoilers (blessed anti-druidic types, typically corrupted Lotho). Also: someone on a reddit rpg thread said that they had a party member animate the corpse of a bear, hollow it out, fill it with shelves, and have it act as a walking closet. I so need to steal that.
