*Takes a running jump and slaps this topic onto the board.*

Alright, so while IRL 2020 is a mess, Redwall is in an amazing state at this time! I'm not going to put too much up right now, but who wants to join on and help develop this?
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

I, uh... I have no idea what this is. XD Is this an RP of Redwall with their own 2020?

This... is a worldstate.  ;D

   A worldstate is pretty much just that. The state of a world (Redwall, in this case) under a certain modifier. Originally, redwall was set roughly in the 12-1300s time in our history, and Kade and I presented a worldstate of it in the late 1600s. This will place it much further in the future: present day. Worldstates also include locations and sectionalities (Vermin, goodbeasts, et seq.) Buuttt, we don't have to follow all of the rules. We could have mass-produced jetpacks at this time in Redwall! (Just a suggestion.)

The differences between a worldstate and an RP are: a worldstate has spaces left blank to allow it to be used in mutiple RPs, and a worldstate created independently of an RP is much more comprehensive, and likely less conflicted.

Anyway, that's a worldstate, to the best of my ability to describe.

Huh. Okay. I see what you mean. It sounds interesting, but honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate this round.  :-\ But I'll see.

It isn't really a round. You can jump in whenever you want, unless Dann says otherwise.

Why, Mossflower country, of course!  ;D
But no; since this is a fantasy worldstate, it'd be unnecessarily limited to use one nation excluively.

       Pretty solid description: A+ Also, you're correct, bring the whole forum to help if you want (and can somehow manage)! I recommend having one or two "Heads," of the project (people that make the calls on what is given the green light), one obviously being the OP. Other than that, everyone is free to participate! I imagine cartographers are in disturbingly short supply, so if someone really likes mapping stuff, you've got a lot of potential friends to make around here should the board start to flourish XD

Thanks! And yeah, cartographers are more than welcome here  :laugh:

Well, @Kade and @Teer expressed interest, so they're chained to this project as well.

I was thinking that a city would have grown up off to the west of the abbey, and the Abbey itself would have been redone for mainly memorial purposes.

That's an interesting concept. Are vermin still largely excluded from proceedings or is that 'racist'?

That's a good question. I would imagine that they would be more included in the proceedings of the city-state near Redwall, but don't get a lot of capability in say, a city that sprung up around Salamandastron. There could also be vermin-towns amidst Mossflower with varying degrees of law, order, and chaos.

Oh yeah, that sounds about right. I always find it difficult to make a world without making a story around it at the same time.

Cartography is the only artistic strength I have- from long years of creating Dungeons and Dragons campaigns- so once you have your setting laid out you need but give me a holler and I'll get out my sketchbook and straight edge.
"'Tis the business of small minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."
-Thomas Paine

"Integrity and firmness is all I can promise; these, be the voyage long or short, shall never forsake me although I may be deserted by all men."
-George Washington

Courage: Not only the willingness to die manfully, but also the determination to live decently.

This is fascinating! Maybe Redwall could be a museum or something?
The following is a list of things to bring on holiday:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
42 ~ Seb's Humility ~ Seb's toothbrush ~ Seb's soul ~ Half a Plane ~ Your Toothbrush ~ A creeping anxiety every time you look at your toothbrush ~ Pure Terror every time you look at your toothbrush ~ Death every time you look at your toothbrush

I had to move everything off the list but the bare essentials to make way for this:

Yep! I was thinking Redwall would be used for certain ceremonies, and be a sort museum of Mossflower's history. Do you want to join in for the long run, Jarky?

I'll hold you to that, then ;)
