World Creation Superdraft 5: May 2021


Recommended Posts

Tribbles. Tribbles everywhere. Tribbles yesterday, tribbles today, and blimey if it don't look like tribbles again tomorrow.

 

Tribbles might be good food for humans and other creatures. But what good would that be if they multiplied to the point of consuming all of the young world's resources?

 

Lhash'Ka knew that the tribbles could not be allowed to breed unopposed. (It was her speciality, after all.) So she created a race of predators--smart, skillful, determined hunters--to keep the tribbles in check. They would hunt them, not for food (or not just for food, anyway), but for honor and glory. She called them Orcks.

 

Sentient Life: Orcks

 

By the way, Lhash'Ka's orcks look like this:

There is something about this that is so familiar but for the life of me I just can't place it.

What kind of magic? That's kind of vague.

Log provided a list that I use and update offline each year that I have run this.

I'll post an update at the weekend.

 

As to Magic, Mystara was Goddess of magic in the Forgotten Realms so Mesos was the Titan in the Scarred Lands so I don't need the kind of magic specified

Those were both D&D settings, where magic was already defined. Our worlds are blank slates. Part of the fun is riffing off each other's contributions, and we can't do that for Magic without some notion of what Magic means in this world.

The Tribble playing favourites ?

And why not ?

 

Dean,

 

for the audacity in this pick, have a bonus pick

I wasn't expecting more than a laugh, but I'll tak it.

 

This calls for some consideration.

I have Justice, Laws, Punishment. Old man grabbed up truth before I could.   Sociotard picked up duty and obligations. Hermit picked up protectiveness. And Pattern Ghost picked up Death and medicine. It looks like I have to pick up order to round out my secondaries.

 

So it looks like the god of justice is paralleling a lot of other gods which wasn't the plan, but that's what happens when things like this happen.

The lord of cHaOs observed with some satisfaction the gift to civilization called sport, but it could be better...

 

Theer offers her own gift to civilization, gambling, and games of chance.
