Why hasn't /tg/ ever worked together to make a unified fantasy setting, made with the average of what everyone on /tg/ likes out of fantasy?
>>46683390
Because it would be shit, as /tg/ has demonstrated in the past by attempting exactly this.
Design by committee is garbage. Design by MASS committee is criminal.
>>46683413
Aaand /thread.
>>46683390
They literally did and it was literally shitty.

It would be garbage. You'd end up with a mix of generic fantasy, generic subversions of generic fantasy, fetish bait, and lots of pointless anime references.
>>46683465
This.
Ironically /tg/ is fucking shit at fantasy.
>>46683390
>>46683390
Here you go :^)

Why not have each country in the setting be its own self-contained fantasy land with different tones, themes, magic levels, and power levels?
>>46685940
D&D cosmology then?
>>46685940
because it would be Spelljammer and it's too pure and good for /tg/
>>46685940
Tones and themes I have no problem withmostly that other setting called real life has them too, but when you get to different:
>magic levels, and power levels
Either these differences are contained in a nation and do not ever interact with one another, or people from the most powerful setting start to take over their portion of the world with no meaningful opposition.
Separate, different powerlevels -> you might as well drop this unified setting pretense and play different games and settings.
Interacting, different powerlevels -> congratulations, the fantasy lands won't stay self-contained much longer.
>>46686755
*contained in each nation
>>46685940
We want a setting, not a theme park.
Then again, didn't we have threads on a crossover setting that included Westeros, the Avatar world, Middle Earth, the island of Sodor, Equestria, and several others?
>>46685940
Thats would not be a "unified setting", but a series of different settings which share a label.
>>46683390
>the average of what everyone on /tg/ likes out of fantasy
Man, why cheese macaroni, dried sardines and peanut butter are so tasty separately, but when you mix them they turn out utter shit?
>>46686793
Yesh but in /tg/'s case you'd be mixing shit, shit, and shit :^)
>>46686781
>the island of Sodor
As in Thomas the Tank Engine?
>>46686755
>people from the most powerful setting start to take over their portion of the world with no meaningful opposition
So, like real history then?
>>46686845
I think that thats the point, that the "nations" would not stay static but change, expande collapse and stuff.
Why don't we do this to see how shitty a world we can make
And remember, no matter what, it won't be as bad as Golarion
>>46686845
>>46686856
So escapist.
>a unified fantasy setting, made with the average of what everyone on /tg/ likes
It says /tg/, not /his/.
>>46686946
Didn't it turn into a shitty furry ruby quest fanfic last time around?
>>46686946
Again, if you have a fuckton of self contained areas, its not a single setting but a collection of settings.
So the Five Major Continents would be:
>MGT
>D&D
>WH40K
>QUESTS
>GURPSGURPSGURPS
>>46686989
>GURPS
>a continent
More like the entire world.
>>46687059
>A game set in a computer simulated universe that operates off of GURPS 4e.
>Run the game using Savage Worlds.
Thanks for giving me my next campaign, /tg/.
>>46685940
It's called Golarion, and its shit with no internal consistency
>>46687285
>>46683390
>made with the average of what everyone on /tg/ likes out of fantasy?
It would appeal to nobody.
>>46683390
Behold the horse designed by committee.
