Let me guess, you NEED more.

>>98270760The fact that this map isn't AI generated and someone put actual man hours into it makes me sad.
>>98270760Yes
>>98270760No, I've already got more.
>>98270760What game?
>>98270760>>98270814why is it that maps give me such a sense of wanderlust, but when I am actually doing the exploration on the ground in a game its such a snore? its absolutely unfair.Its something about everything taking too long and not having the immediate gratification of seeing where one thing is relitive to another and how that might cause it to interact.
>>98270825Back then garbage had soul
>>98270825god forbid people do shit you fucking nigger
>>98270760Actually, that's too much of what I don't want.
>>98270760Catch me and my boys at Wizengard casting spells and shit
Someone post the map for Dark Eye
>Tries to make boring world>Ends up making coolest shit ever
>>98270760I WILL include my blatant self insertI WILL include my political power fantasyI WILL include my schizophrenic metaphysicsAnd you won't stop me
>>98270760>South Orcland>Not SouthOkay buddy
>>98270760sovl
>>98271781It is south east of North Orcland which is south enough
>>98271781The world is round, Orcland and Pseudi Arabia are practically touching tips
>>98270760>Running campaign in Upper Noblesse>Half the party wants to be fron Orienta and one wants to be from OrcbadI hate it here
>>98271762I think it's the trade goods that give this one extra character.
>>98271876>Upper NoblesseYou deserve itUpper Noblesse is where you go when you want to pretend you have ideas but you don't
>>98271741Would you be okay with someone taking a messy dump on your doorstep, then?
>>98273123Most people start off in Townburg
>>98271663Your DM might be bad at his job
>>98273252For like two sessions, before the plot moves them into Upper Noblesse and the party stays there, and nobody ever mentions Townburg again.Best case scenario, Townburg won't be burnt down for a cheap revenge motivation.
>>98270760>Mountains of Muscles and Scandivikinga are different placesTell me more. Also>McJobWhat happens there?
>>98273571Not an out of the question possibility.
I just need the continents to fit together, is that so wrong?
>>98270760Yes. It's the fast food/diner of fantasy but that doesn't mean it's bad. Just common and what everyone like and expects in a good fantasy. I swear, reminds me of those people who make a vegan joint and act like their better cause they're "different." Then shocked no one cares for them over the cheap fast food joint next to them that been there for 30 years and hasn't changed much.New fantasy isn't always bad, but don't go off hating the diner fantasy that gives you a little of everything the public likes. So everyone tend to go there over that "overpriced burger joint" that acts like they're not like other "burger places" when they basically the same but change two things and won't shut about it thinking that's enough to be special.
>>98273626>Scandivikingastraight up viking ripoffs, longships, ten thousand men named Olaf Olafson who throw axes and get into mead drinking contests. Wears armor. Raids everyone and everything they can because their gods Thurr, Udin, and Okil tell them to. Rune magic.>Mountains of MusclesStereotypical barbarian tribes, wielding exclusively greatweapons, shirts are illegal and pants MUST be made from animal pelts. worships "The spirits" and "The Ancestors". Hates magic, collective IQ of 73 with a 22% literacy rate.>McJobAlso known as "The Highlands". Kilts, claymores, and the god damn fey, but not the elf fey, the will-o-wisp fey. Stops anything particularly nasty from Scandivikinga from spilling over into Upper Noblesse, completely unintelligible accent, shortest insult takes 20 seconds to say. Probably werewolves, definitely banshees. The weather is either cloudy or raining.
>>98271663The problem with most modern fantasy settings is simply too many woke fuckers keep pushing "diversity." So you can't really have a town, village, region have a identity. They often just overlap and have the same mixed groups of people. Look at the Witcher, Rings of Power, Willow, Wheel of Time, and other woke modern takes on fantasy books. They have to add random black people into the background for their DEI quotas. Mind you if it was based off a non-white region. You wouldn't see random white people unless they're raiders or some type of villain. (Look at Black Panther. They wouldn't bring White Wolf/Hunter into the MCU. Just call Bucky White Wolf to tease that he isn't coming.)What I do when I make a region is I don't do the "diversity" BS. If the elven region, you aren't going to see families of orcs that are refugees. Or a bunch of "Noponese" living in "Camenot" Now you can have merchants traveling and selling wares and can have people from one nation living in another nation due to reasons. Especially for big trade hubs. However they would keep to said hubs and places nearby. Having one would be rare not one family per fucking village.So basically keep the races in their nations outside of merchants and maybe a plot hook encounter here and there. (Should be very rare and known there a foreigner living in say town and often the reason why.) Also when making said region based off of real group, like china, japan, rome, etc. Lean into it and don't just do two building then make it basic fantasy.
>>98270760no.
>>98270760I actually kinda like it.
>>98271781South Dakota is north of Nebraska what's your point?
>>98274175It's ironic that Generic Man is one of the most creative villains in comic book history.
>>98273132Someone apparently took a messy dump in your mom to make you
>>98274060So, you actively make your worlds less realistic and less verisimilitudenous and you think that that is better somehow? Sounds like your a double digit IQ retard who thinks that huffing his own farts makes him smart.
>>98274687>So, you actively make your worlds less realistic and less verisimilitudenous and you think that that is better somehow?This nigger actually believes the Hollywood myth that every civilization throughout human history was a perfect melting pot of racial diversity with representation of every race across the planet and thinks depicting homogeneous societies is the unrealistic way. Wrong, retard. Go to a random village in China 2,000 years ago and guess what ethnicity every single person there is going to be. CHINESE. Same with a random German village, everyone there would be GERMAN. Before we had the luxury of trains, ships and airplanes, the presence of foreigners in a community was the exception, not the rule. And that was without the presence of dragons and giants and demons lurking around every curve of the road between your village and the village across the border in another country.

>>98270760>MOM! I'VE POSTED THIS AGAIN!
>>98275035>dumb Amerifat thinking everyone is a failed state like his countryLike pottery

Holy fuck, your mind is a bubling cesspit of slop.
>>98274060>American-made media that are made by Americans for Americans lensed through American mindset and thus turn into garbageWho would have expected!
>>98275035>Go to a random village in China 2,000 years ago and guess what ethnicity every single person there is going to be.China 2,000 was under the Han Dynasty you dumb, malformed lump of Ameri-ogre flesh. Literally the beating heart of the Silk Road, one of the most unprecedented flows of global trade (and merchants) at the time. Chinks literally had to invent a new term (Yi) for foreigns and barbarians.You fuckers are actually subhumanly retarded.
>>98270760... you don't?
>>98274060THERE IS LITERAL TELEPORTATION AND FLIGHT this is not historical travel limitationsyou can magically cure diseases control storms and all in all subvert all the biggest historical limits on travelyou twat
>>98274060I agree with you completely with the problem.
>>98275569Are you trying to get a repeat of the Republican vs. Democrats thread derailing from a few days ago?
>>98270760Actually, you need less.
>>98270760How do you benefit from making off topic spam shitposts?
>>98270760It's missing the designated Roman-esque empire.
>>98275709republicans and democrats are both retardedtherenow we can have a whole new type of derailment
>>98276047well obviously we arent making fantasy versions of already mythical civs
>>98270760The only thing I need is for you zoomers to stop using the phrase "let me guess" forever. I would also try to persuade you to never ever reproduce, but it seems your whole generation already have that part locked down. Well done.
>>98274227I mean Keith Giffen was pretty solid a creator so it's not really a surprise. JLI is still one of the best cape books.
Would you play a game here?
>>98277018pffffaight thats a good one
>>98277033Can I be from the volcano area? I promise I will take thematic fire and rock abilities
>>98270760No, I'm good with just that.
>>98275035You are genuinely fucking stupid if you believe that "Chinese" has EVER been a monolithic ethnic group. Is this cope for your own mutt bloodline?
>>98277099
>>98274060You riled up a lot of people with this post. The funny thing is, they're going to call you a dumbass bigot and then complain that every modern setting feels "the same."
>>98274687>less realistic and less verisimilitudenousIts a fucking fantasy and point is to make it fun so how is this an argument? Who cares if its not completely realistic its what truly does make places feel more unique and helps make travel feel special. No need to go to extreme but if its fantasy you can. Next you are going to complain about unrealistic arms and armour?
>>98270814That map is too small, I need MORE
>>98270814I recognise the elements used to make this map.
>>98281093Do tell. I want to make a similar map.
>>98274060They hated you because you told the truth.
>>98277692>>98275605You're missing that Anon's point hard. The point is not "All pre-modern lands were monolithic ethnostates". He seemed to go out of the way to clarify that wasn't his position. The point is that in a world with far less travel there will be distinct cultural identities and people groups. His whole point could amount to "Having this people in one place and a different people in this place and cataloging their interactions is more interesting than assuming all lands are cosmopolitan hubs". A samurai in Great Britain is a thousand times more interesting if there isn't already tons of fantasy Japanese already there. An Elf Lord has a lot more gravitas if the Elf population of Humanburg is sub-2%. Every time this kind of topic comes up people try to flanderize it into a denial there was cosmopolitan centers, cultural interaction, and no aliens anywhere when the point is actually "Those things were less common in the past". Not non-existent, not even rare, just much less common in most places.
>>98271768You forgot>i WILL include my barely disguised fetish(es)
>>98275640If travel in your fantasy world is that easy, then the population won't be diverse. They will, without cultural interventions, have bred down to a default population type.
>>98286345To amplify this guy's post, many walled cities in the Old World had a Foreign Quarter for traders and diplomats from other lands. It was typically locked at night.
>>98286345>You're missing that Anon's point hard. The point is not "All pre-modern lands were monolithic ethnostates".Nah, you don't get to weaselly IQ-wash that drooling retard's historically illiterate nonesense. This is exactly what he meant. He just happened to pick the worst example ever (China) because he gets all his "history" from Instagram shorts and archived /pol/ greentexts.
