silverthorne: (Symbol of the Heirs)
Stupid realization, but I had it.

This stuff that I've been kicking around as a solo project in my head since...man...years in the past? The one where I keep messing around with the world, the origin of the characters, and so forth, but rarely get very far into the story itself? I finally figured out why I keep setting it aside.

I was telling myself I was world/plot building for the book. My brain knew better.

I'm trying to set up a gaming world. I'm just too dense to realize it. :P

Right, then.

Now that I know what I'm actually trying to build, here...(and yeah, actual stories may come later, but I just realized that how I'm going about developing the world and what my brain is actually focused on makes for a better structure for building an RPG world with, rather than, say, a series of books, which is what it was supposed to be originally).

Way to trip myself out, there.

...and what the hell am I going to do with an RPG world?

So

If you're designing a world that holds elements/constellations linked to those elements in high importance, and you set it up, and you notice that all the 'male' elements end up being represented by, essentially, animals, and the 'female' elements by anthromorphized animals (meaning they are both human and animal in physical traits), would you be concerned? Mind you, the division wasn't intentional--that's just how it worked out.

And, assuming it ever made it to popular print, how long do you think before the cries of 'reverse-misogamy!' started up in reviews and discussion boards?

And would you change anything knowing that's a possibility?
