We Need You!

Written by RPGDinosaurBob

How would you like the opportunity to be responsible for the building of your own little corner (or big corner) of a World? How would you like to be doing this alongside other World Anvilites who are doing the same thing... in the same world?!

That's what we've got going on!

Whatever your genre... whether you want a setting for creative writing, or gaming, or just want to make your mark on a great collaborative effort, we invite you to become a Synergite and help to shape our world.

Here's the plan...

• Depending on the genre you select, we'll assign you to a landmass in the world. Similar era genres will probably share landmasses, but you'll have your own space. (For example, Age of Sail, Victorian Steampunk, Gothic Horror may all be in the same region.)
• We're not limiting the genres. You want it? You'll get it... somewhere.
• We, the Synergists, will periodically release a Prompt (just like summercamp) to ask you to define particular aspects of your piece of the world. Over time, your work will be added to the Canon Lore of Synergasia, available for reference in future articles by others in your region. That way, in time, you'll get in on the synergy game too!
• We're not going to overload you... we'll try one prompt per week to start out. The first few prompts are already released, but there's no deadline. The prompts are to help you build out your world.
• Eventually, we may even devise a game rule system to allow rpg play in this world. (We've got some rough ideas, but if somebody wants to tackle that as their contribution, that'd be great too!)
• You won't need to worry about styling or CSS stuff. The Synergists will handle the global stuff. But you'll have the chance to customize your piece of the world if you wish.
• If there's anything else, we'll figure it out as we go along.

If this sounds like it will be interesting or fun, then here's your first Prompt... your "application"...

Write a brief "Meta" Article describing your piece of the world.

• What genre best describes what you have in mind?
• What Mood and Theme do you plan to employ?
• What time period/development era describes your area?
• What sort of geography do you need?
• Are there any Major Conflicts you know you will include?

There is no word minimum - just make sure you are giving us enough to "place" you.
Please try to keep the article to under 1500 words (but you won't be penalized for going a little bit over).
Use the GENERIC template to create the article in your world.
Publish it, and make sure it's Public.
Place a link to the article in a comment on this (We Need You!) article.

We look forward to hearing from you! So get out your hammers... and anvils... and SYNERGIZE !!!
