Much like the name suggests, this is the thread for your topic suggestions for the New Worlds activity.

[Trashy]

Alright to get the topic suggestions going here I'll post some up. There is quite a lot to go with when it comes to environments.

The Dream
Yes I'm thinking "Inception" here. A landscape that defies reality, whether it be floating buildings or impossible never ending staircases this is a dreamscape from your mind...or somebody else's. The landscape in someway or another must again defy reality though, this is a rule

The Abyss
Deep water seascape. Open to fantasy or sci-fi so you can have giant alien ships below the surface or giant octopuses that can swallow ships whole. It's up to your interpretation.

Assembly Floor
trains, cars, ships, spaceships...they all need to be made in someplace. This could get more specific like it could be a assembly floor for a colossal spacecraft(enterprise, star destroyer) link

Lucifer's Throne Room
Pretty self explanatory

Impact
Planets colliding into each other, a strange object descending from the sky looking to impact the surface. A rain of meteorites or maybe a giant improbable whale falling from the sky hitting a busy street. The idea is to create a environment that is being impacted by something. That "something" is up to you but it is important to visualize how this impact affects the environment...whether it splatters, blows ups, or even literally evaporates everything...it's up to you!

The Creepy Neighbors House
Ever seen The Burbs or Monster House? Ever lived in a little neighborhood and there was that house, the house you stayed far away from? That house that everyone thought a serial killer maniac lived or some googly monsters? Well the topic here is you get to design that creepy house. Why is it creepy to begin with and why does it scare everyone in the neighborhood out of their pant's? Is it towering, or decaying. Does it glow spooky colors at night or have tentacles spewing from the chimney top? You must decide.

You know honestly this could be a nifty cross-over activity also. I'll leave it to you moderators but think about it. We design the house, characterforge actually illustrates the neighbors and who knows maybe they have a monster pet that can go in the creature activity

The Tar Fields - The tar fields are considered to be the gateway to the land of the dead by the surrounding peoples. The fields are interspersed with rock paths that have been put there by travelers past, along with cairns warning journeyers of the spirits believed to live there.

Frajrad, the Stepped City - This city is built on a series of man-gouged steppes, along several mountainsides. The richest citizens live up nearer to the top, where the sun can actually reach. In the lower areas, the city devolves into a slum-shanty town where rivers are made of sewage and the people who live there look up at the mountaintops to curse the aristocracy.

Mass Production: emphasis on Mass there, I'm talking a huge industrial complex, sanitary standards could be quite poor or cutting edge, as long as there's a sense of output.

Foam: Just imagine a whole place made of fluffy, frothy foam coming from who knows where.
