World in a Box

So a very side project for me is I am slowly developing an imagined world. At times it grabs me and I write a lot about the places, organizations, and creautres that inhabit it and a lot of the times it just sits in the back of my mind. I pull my inspirations from everywhere. Got the basic world from a mix of The Dig and WindZones. Startide Rising and Blue Planet gave a more refined geography and a lot of info on cetes (ceteceans). Dragons came from D & D primarily although boring Shakespeare class in England let me take them and make them interesting. Technology I tend to make up on my own from any and all input although Blue Sub 6 is beginning to contribute to some of the underwater aspects as I try to flesh them out. Part of me wants a Gundamesque feel with technology, large manned suits and all but I am unsure. Certainly the interconnectivity that I get from GITS will be present though.

Not sure where the buildings came from. Originally the idea for the cities came from Louis MacMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series but as the land masses they would have originally inhabited have gone away now I am not sure although I'd love that feel.

Will it ever come to realization? Even I am pretty doubtful and I doubt many other people knew it existed (unless somehow you found Pillars) at all. It seems to me once done it could make a decent RPG if I could get a flexible enough system. To me it's an epic world although what makes it epic I haven't gotten to yet. I want it to be as playable for the ever present humans as to the cetes and dragons who equally share this place. It's a strange place with a lot of blanks. It's hard to paint even broadstrokes when you have a huge blank canvas!

It's a fun place nonetheless. Full of possibilites. The impatient part of me would just like to get it done so that others could explore and enjoy it beyond me (although frankly I have no idea if anyone even would).

Back to studying geology now. Humorously enough I am pulling some ideas from that too. Hope I get a C on this bloody test tho!
