Obviously, this sucked. Mercifully, Andraste (Jesus Ronaldo) smote tobacco from a Tevinter corpse. Aromatic! It smelled. Unclear directions confounded the manufacturing executives, who decided there was no better fate than death. Opportunistically, they provided Andraste more timeshares filled 37% of the time by Tevinter, but why? For this, the ultimate price of three dollars and forty seven cents must be paid.

Last post by omnicrumb - June 17, 2025, 10:58:00 PMYou see, on the 15th I was being clever when I said I would post tomorrow, because I was making a sly reference to how "tomorrow" starts with "two". because. i did not respond the next day. but i responded in two morrows! that was absolutely intentional, I swear. regardless; here is the new object.
The Sky Above ->
The sky above you is open, yet filled with things like Breeze and Air. Light also shines down from Far Above The Atmosphere, sometimes filtered by passing Clouds.
Something something the only thing to be discouraged by is discouragement itself.

Last post by omnicrumb - June 15, 2025, 11:32:55 PMI've been musing on the flaw I named in my last post, what with the lack of improv and character interaction based lore, and it might actually be possible to run a RP in this system while detailing and expanding the world! However, that seems like a lot and for now i'm just going to check in for my regular shift of additions.
Low Ferns ->
The ferns consist of Thin Fern Leaves, arranged in the usual fernlike way on a Arcing Plant Stem.
I really don't have that much time today, so let's see what i will add tomorrow.

Last post by omnicrumb - June 14, 2025, 09:21:28 PMOk so this game kind of sucks but i'm still going to play it because its interesting to me at least. I think it will be more interesting when i get to like more complex and compelling environments, but the fact that no actions ever really take place make it very... empty feeling? i think? not sure!
I was also thinking I could make a directional graph diagram showing how objects can break down into other objects, once the system gets more complex, so we'll try that soon. Apparently Dot also freelances as an absolutely invaluable force-directed command line graph generator.
Without further ado, here are today's Substituences:
Red Door ->
A Red Door Frame holds a Rectangle of Red Material with Hinges; beyond lies a Subtly Lit Open Glade.
Given that this game basically makes an explorable map, it might be interesting to use as a setting for something or in a text-based adventure game... or just as a funny little detailed place in the readers' imaginations!
Subtly Lit Open Glade ->
The glade is several yards at it's widest, and littered with Low Ferns. The Ground here is covered in Grasses, and is moist from recent rains. Around the majority of the glade is Deciduous Forest, which is cloaked in shadow, hiding it from the light of The Sky Above.
I'm guessing breaking down less interesting objects/not literal map objects will be kind of a slog so I will probably do those in bulk later. It still might be possible to make funny lore callbacks in them though so we'll see!

Last post by omnicrumb - June 13, 2025, 11:16:18 PMHello CalRef!
I'm nervous to post on older topics, especially outside of Spam because it seems to be against Forum.. doctrine? Yet it seems that this thread is for introductions so I may as well place my neck on the line to introduce myself.
I'm omnicrumb, I love worldbuilding and various types of art, and I am interested in this forum because I have been peripherally aware of it for some time now (I went by a different name years ago on Refugia) and I find its stated purposes and history uniquely fascinating and compelling. I use the pronouns they/them and live in a place where I can access a computer. It's nice of you to read this!
I'd be happy to contribute to this community and aspire to one day do what the echoes of the great legends called "Roleplay" (because its really fun to work on worlds with people!!!)
