    I'd say that's a fairly large factor, yes.

    Got swept under the rug I suppose when the Lanterns came out. I had, I think, two people even notice I had mentioned it as well as the specific ideas I'd had, and one person think I hadn't specified setting ideas.

    Either make the hands or the space a little bit lighter. Or stick a randomn planet, ship, or a few stars behind the hands/liines in question. It is space, afterall.

    I've had a similar problem with hair. I think I'm personally going to make space a bit lighter instead, but Gimliggamer's idea aint bad either.

    And Zexion, not everybody who posts or reads here wants to join ABR. Occassionally we have people who regularly comment but don't post comics, or just people who simply lurk and wish their opinions heard once or twice. Thery're curious or, dare I say it, fans?

    Put a coloured aura around the character. Like Vaarsuvius in this OotS merchandise.

    Neither does Vaarsuvius. There's a thing called artistic license that's useful in this situation. It's better in this situation to add an unmentioned white aura around a character than have his visibility reduced, and the quality of the comic as a result.

    Keeping in mind that pretty much every time I've made a post-nuclear setting it's been the nuclear winter sort where the world is a tundra, because I prefer the "blue-lighting, all-white" to the "green lighting, all brown" of the typical wasteland.

    You should make it a magic apocalypse so everything glows purple and most of the plants are dead and turned a silver color. It'd be pretty.

    Nah, I kinda wanna stay away from having another fantasy setting in ABR. Even FI and ABRcorps are grounded in FFF.

    Start by making it somewhere BESIDES Avbaroy if you wanna move away from FFF and FI.

    Too bad, it would be awesome to have a post cataclysm setting during the "Dark ages" someday....

    Then again, we're currently running 3 plots at the same time....

    You say to the guy who has continuously pitched this idea (and implied it in the quoted post) and made his own plot that took place outside of Avbaroy before.

    Once we figure out the world itself, we can work out the details, but I don't see why not!

    Quote Originally Posted by CrimsonAngel View Post

    Why would there be guilds in a post-apocalyptic world? If anything, there'd be gangs like the raiders, maybe some liberator-esque roving lawbringers, and a whole bunch of lunatic survivors and scroungers living in the odd town made of bits of everything's leftovers. I mean, I guess someone could make a group and call it a guild but the chances of anyone outside their immediate area even having heard of it before are slim to none, and there probably wouldn't even be enough people around to legitimately actually be a guild.

    Then again, crazy people.

    Edit: interestingly, the only real guild in the fallout world was the Slavers Guild, because it was the only one that was relatively global.

    Okay, I looked at the Novaris planning threads (I call them that because that seems to be all you talked about ). What would you say went wrong with it, DL? Once we work that out, we can try and make a proper setting without messing up.

    For instance, should we not have many races? Should magic be D&D based? Should I play the king of the world/scrapyard?

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure we already decided the basic idea of the setting, at least if people would be into a Nuclear Winter setting which focusses on most of the people in the world having gone at least a little kooky from surviving in the post-apocalyptic tundra.

    Plus, I don't really want magic and stuff because I'd rather we have at least one non-fantasy plot, and I don't think we ever restricted people to DnD classes anyways. As far as 'races', I'd say normal human races and maybe allow some leeway for mutants.

    I'd also say we set this in a world similar to earth but not earth, or at least never specify where anything is or anything about the world before the nukes.

    Edit: oh, and Novaris went wrong in that people argued too much to go against the original ideas of the setting after they had been established and pretty much we had some cases of things being decided without consent of the whole. I tried to police what I could, but things kinda fall down when you really stop caring anymore

    The answers to all of them were no, though. I'm asking if they should be yes, if that makes the sensiness.

    I've already covered the answers. I've given the very bare idea, now it needs to be expanded upon. I always believe that groups and characters should be characterized beyond 'classes' and 'races' (hence why I typically frown upon setting which are fantasy kitchen sinks when it comes to races).
