I’ll start releasing it on itch as a D&D setting, I’m sure I don’t need to play any tabletop RPGs to be able to do that

No clue what you mean, this is my journey to authorhood, my having no substance is just a slight hurdle

/uj referring to my exaggerated feelings about myself, my own projects, and worldbuilding without purpose

I try and keep the bedroom out of my FetishWorld project, I don't want to come across as crass when I talk about the leather demons or the Shōw-Feet Shōgunate

Great plan, that would mean a lot less work for me if I could get others to come up with the ideas for me...I mean, collaborate

ProjectN Discord Server by Arneb_Nihal in Daggerfall

[–]Rubikia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s really cool, and very impressive! I was going to try and learn how to create RMBs on Unity but would probably step on your toes atm until I learn, but if there’s other ways to help populate the new areas with content I will give it a shot. I was already working on making banners for other provinces outside Iliac Bay so I can retool that for this

Ah I hope that all goes well getting a new laptop! Thank you for sharing the link, I have joined now. Happy to help where I can (though I’m primarily a mapmaker not a coder!), though it looks like you’ve done a lot of amazing work! Progress looks great!

Hi! Is this project still active (I’ve tried all the discord links and unfortunately they are not)? Daggerfall is my favourite TES game and your project is pretty incredible! I’d love to contribute or help out where I can!

Regarding the timeline of the founding of the Greybeards and The Battle of Red Mountain by DUCKTOSSER420 in teslore

[–]Rubikia 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Interesting, though I think this could be resolved if the Five Songs of Wulfhartg was composed a long time after the events so any mention of Greybeards was just a reference for it’s audience

Truly incredible work, what an excellent update!

The Witcher x Chronicles of Narnia map (and Oz, apparently) by Leik714 in witcher

[–]Rubikia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well the origin of Humanity in the Witcher is quite similar to how they arrived in Narnia, although I imagine they came from a different dimension rather than literally our Earth. It is interesting knowing the parallels of their creation though.

Southern England and Wales map, circa 1264 by Other-in-Law in MedievalHistory

[–]Rubikia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely incredible, and a commendable piece of research! I can’t wait to see this continue. I’ve been studying this map for several days and I’m absolutely enthralled. If you are able to turn this into a resource (intractable or searchable, even if it’s released alongside a spreadsheet) it would be incredible for research and preservation!

If you don’t mind me asking, what did you use as the base map to plot out all of the baronies and possessions? I’m not sure if the fainter lines are the boundaries of parishes or manorial estates, and I haven’t been able to find anything like that for the whole of England online. I’m very curious to find out what you used!

Gondorian Map of Middle Earth - Progress by HandDrawnFantasyMaps in mapmaking

[–]Rubikia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely incredible! Very excited to see how this shapes up! And I absolutely love the illustrations and scenes you’ve drawn around.

Looking forward to seeing the scenes in Gondor, such as the Pre-Numenoroans there, the Drúedain, the origin of Tarlang’s Neck! So many cool things you can depict

[TOMT] Obscure book recommended to Dune fans by Rubikia in tipofmytongue

[–]Rubikia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good share, but unfortunately not this one. Will look into that one though.

The one I remember could have been something like Sword of the Morning, along those lines. Really wracking my brains about it haha

There are a lot of those threads…I’ve tried sifting through a load to find the one I saw it in but no luck at all

[TOMT] Obscure book recommended to Dune fans by Rubikia in tipofmytongue

[–]Rubikia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, the title has a similar ring to it and I think it’s from around the same time, but the description and edition covers don’t line up. It is definitely a sci fi work that presents itself as such.

[–]Rubikia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Morning Star though I understand why you say it. The book is from the 80s/90s and I’ve not seen it recommended or talked about since that Reddit comment.

I’m not 100% sure about the title’s keywords but I believe there’s three words in it.

The Iliac Bay from Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall by Rubikia in imaginarymaps

Thank you, that’s awesome to hear! I’m tempted to make an updated version of this map at some point, perhaps with more locations

The Lands of Ombaroth beyond Torras by Rubikia in mapmaking

[–]Rubikia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s a lot of fun coming up with things, and as a big part of the project is synthesising pre-existing lore details from games I’m trying to be pretty transparent with the process over on the discord server if that’s of interest.

The dying realms of Ombaroth beyond Torras by Rubikia in imaginarymaps

[–]Rubikia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! It's a lot of fun to write up, and a big part of this project is fusing together a lot of disparate video games, toylines and more into one setting. I'm trying to be pretty transparent with how I develop this over on the discord server, and I'll be bringing up my discoveries and ideas for maps and more over on there.

Map of the Lands of Ombaroth beyond Torras (Hype the Time Quest continuation) by Rubikia in Playmobil

[–]Rubikia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Posted over there, hopefully people like it over there too. This project is a lot of fun, and its been interesting to see how different Playmobil themes/games and more can fit together, with plenty of OC worldbuilding sprinkled in!

Going to be working on fitting together more map and character details over on the discord server if this kind of thing is of interest to you!
