Roleplaying and gaming are really my only hobbies, unless you consider posting on forums a hobby.

I need to be someone else from time to time. It's like taking a mental vacation from all the crap I have to deal with in real life.

I started a world building project that I've been trying to find members for. We started out with some guys and gals, but many of them bailed on me and one other guy that is still helping me out some. It is a system-less world, but we've been trying to translate most of it to D20/D&D stats on the wiki.

Here is what the project is about:

Gasp World Building Forum (The realms we worked on are now on the wiki, but new ones go here)
http://www.eonsreach.com/worldforum/index.php?www

Gasp World Building Wiki (older realms are here, but they still need a lot of work)
http://www.eonsreach.com/worldwiki/i...itle=Main_Page

The idea is to make a flat world made entirely out of 200 mile Hexes that were isolated from each other for 5,000 since the creation. The setting is "finished" during the 5,001st year. It is up to the GM to figure out how the chaos unfolds after the Great Uniting, when each Realm realizes that the "End of the World" is now a new land.

Each designer represents a God that is given free reign (with some limitations) to design the hex as they see fit. The Uber-God reigns over all the United Realms (I'm that guy, since I came up with the idea and do the work no one else wants to do...)

What this isolation of hexes does, is allow new hexes to be added whenever, because of the isolation, world builders don't have to worry about their neighbors.

When the designer is "finished" with their hex, it is added randomly with the help of dice to the map that is already made of the previous hexes.

For a better outline, check out the Laws of Creation.

I'm the Knight of Frost on those forums.

The first group of guys bailed on me at the end (it takes a lot of work to build a world).

This is my attempt to get new blood to make new hexes, and to help finish the previous ones that were dumped in my lap to finish.

Any takers?

If so, feel free to sign up on the world building forum with a forum name.
