The worldbuilding board is a very useful tool, not only for myself and any co-authors of Erelest, but anyone who wants to try and add a little bit of their own creativity to this D&D world. And for those who look for loopholes, no, you will not be told any secrets no matter what you say or suggest here. If you have a culture or kingdom you've always thought would be cool to encounter and interact with but never got around to it. If you research medieval and/or fantasy like myself and found something you want to see added to the games/world. If you simply thought of a cool, cute, scary or fun small concept like a mimic mug named Jerry who hangs around a tavern to give random people a good scare. These and more ideas you could very easily put up as a suggestion for the world of Erelest. Additionally, you can also share your thoughts on already existing written lore in the Erelest world (must be either how to improve/expand, constructive criticism, or something along those lines. Anything that's just 'hate mail' will be ignored, and quite possibly deleted).
Anyone who creates a thread to propose an idea must use the proper format (at the bottom of this post) and must follow the rules. When making the thread, make sure to specify if comments are open to anyone, or just the DMs. This is done by adding the (Cs Open) 'tag' to the title of your thread. This means that if you see a thread without this tag in the title, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO POST OR COMMENT IN THAT THREAD. Only DMs (co-authors) are allowed to. If there is a thread with this tag on it and you can comment, make sure it is relevant to the suggestion. The idea is to help one another to improve ideas, make them more unique, and otherwise give constructive criticism. YOU MUST NEVER belittle anyone or their ideas! Be encouraging! Any comments doing this, or any comments which add nothing to the conversation or are completely off topic will be deleted to keep the thread on track.
Rule Summary:
1. Only post your creative ideas and suggestions you'd like to see added to Erelest, or constructive criticism for anything already existing in Erelest.
2. If you only want anyone to comment on your ideas/suggestions/criticisms, and not just DMs, add (Cs Open) to your thread title.
3. All Comments must be related to the topic, and the goal of the thread. Stay on topic! Leave random discussion for other boards.
4. DO NOT be a bully! No discouraging. No aggressive behavior. No name calling or cursing. No belittling. Be encouraging, provide constructive criticism. We're here to help and improve, not attack people who've done nothing wrong.
