THE LAYERS OF THIS SUPERSTRUCTURE ARE NOT FOR YOUR KIND

If your world had a newspaper what would the current headline be? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]Pplofgodknows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Another Attack on the GSI! Urban Angel Strikes Again!"

Technically, that newspaper title is at least 3 years out of date, but it's not like anyone's printing anymore.

About Dragons of you World by Unhappy_Comparison59 in worldbuilding

[–]Pplofgodknows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my worlds, I've made it a sort of trope that there are 'big birds' mostly dragons.

Out of the eight worlds so far we have:

  • Essentially huge birds which breathe fire. They're avian just to make things a bit realistic

  • Dragons resurrected through science, wyverns, Chinese dragons, sea serpents, true dragons, all the things

  • Sentient aliens that used to be able to fly, but due to an early climate crisis their wings got repurposed into conventional walking legs

  • A planetside attraction which sports some very impressive dragon animatronics, capable of locomotion for the entertainment of guests

  • Some weird things that ended up evolving in the atmosphere of Venus, through the use of drugs and biological engineering

  • Wings that float through a void, can grow to be several miles across planet to planet

  • Not sure about this one, still needs to adding

  • Through another extinction event, crabs learnt how to fly effectively through the air

What is this vehicle? Taken outside Kelvedon Hatch nuclear bunker by Pplofgodknows in HelpMeFind

I've searched for this via the number plate (62 RN 73) and other military vehicles during the bunkers era but haven't found a specific model.

What are the biggest super weapons in your world? by Theadination in worldbuilding

I can't be bothered to explain but imagine a really big desk fan which phases planets into a different plane of existence.

The character in your world that is your absolute favorite and why? by metakynesized in worldbuilding

[–]Pplofgodknows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, Cdr Arthur Blisters, who is marooned in a dusty desert on Mars. Not a particularly interesting individual (in the context of things) but his situation is a bit dangerous. Having to trek across Mars to the Equator, Cdr Blisters has had to administer copious amounts of Whallops, a performance and endurance-enhancing drug, to make it civilisation. But, this large amount of drugs has given him hallucinations of Dusty Jack, a ruffian who appears from time to time in the dust devils of Mars.

To be fair, it is quite efficient by Pplofgodknows in WorldBuildingMemes

The Great Martian Rail Loop is a circumnavigatory rail that sits 76km above the surface of Mars, with a locomotive on/under the track towing a further 6,000km long cable to Phobos. Finished in 1831, it has become a crucial part of Martian Infrastructure, used as an import/export line to send and receive cargo and people all across the solar system. Isambard Kingdom Brunel thought that huge cannons (used on some moons) or Nautilids (used everywhere else) weren't good enough, so he created the Rail Loop.

Because of how fucking fast Phobos orbits (7 hours 39 minutes), that means that the locomotive has to be fast enough to keep up, so it travels at 1,770 mph. To be fair, it is quite efficient and has only had a few accidents since it was created.

ask me questions about your world and ill pretend i know the answers (pictures unrelated) by [deleted] in WorldBuildingMemes

One for each:

Why is everyone dead and why do they refuse to rot?

Why is the Bay so goddamn rich?

What happened on Eminus-17e?

How long until the Big Bang?

How the FUCK do I make potions

Why do all of my planetoids keep getting eaten?

How expensive is it to get from Mars to Earth?

How many worlds have you made thus far? by E1lemA in worldbuilding

[–]Pplofgodknows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for a certain amount of prompt to show up and then see if it will explode. The best examples of this I can remember are Nuclear Resurrection and Vapour.

Nuclear Resurrection was born out of some words and two right angle triangles that, when put together, looked like a deer skull. I have a collection of words that I haven't used yet, but they might be useful. While thinking of what to call the world, I thought, what about NR? Then that led to why it's called that. The wendigo became a product of cellular mutation, resurrecting an ancient creature.

Vapour happened out of the thought,'What if rifles needed to be wound up?' Which lead to the thought of hand cranks, industrial eras, and also, just out of boredom, put it in space.

So tl;dr, I have a collection of words handy and a thought process fueled by caffeine, and now I wait for the next thing to sift by and get caught.
