Imagining A New Kind Of Chaos: Part II
by
SandWyrm
I'm going to wrap up my thoughts on the galactic setting, as we've already hashed out a lot of the background I'd intended to cover in the comments to Part 1.

Are The Bugs The Highest Life Form?
by
SandWyrm
With all of the Rampant-Free-Will vs. Unity-In-Oppression of the universe we're creating, I'd like to start a discussion about the only race that may be able to transcend all of this and turn out to really be the most 'advanced' faction of all.

Imagining A New Kind Of Chaos: Part 1
by
SandWyrm
SandWyrm here. Before we get too deep into creating the innermost details of our Human Empire, I think I need to describe my ideas for the race that will be their antitheses in our universe. If the Empire represents order, purity, faith, obedience, oppression, and unity; then this race represents disorder, decadence, impurity, rebellion, freedom, and fierce individuality. The two civilizations are paired, as neither would be what they are without the ongoing influence of the other. Neither is truly evil, yet neither is truly good either.

Who Wants To Be Our Fluff Marshal?
by
SandWyrm
SandWyrm here. I'm busy writing the game rules, so it's time to share some responsibility and get a parallel development track going. I have the outline of a setting for our game in my head, which I will be posting sometime this coming week. But I'm going to need someone to take that skeleton, make it their own, and then hit it out of the park.
Think about it. It's a big responsibility.
