[MTG7] Wordbuilding with Magic Cards
Hi everyone!
This is the 7th version of a play-by-post game that uses Magic The Gathering cards to collaboratively develop a new roleplaying world.
Currently, we have the following players
- Feathersnow
- Kinro
- Sleepy Shade
- JbeJ275, and
- Wasp
If you are interested in joining, please post here!
And here are the rules!
Spoiler: RULES0. This is supposed to be just a fun way to create a world together with Magic the Gathering Cards with the goal to create a setting for a role playing game.
1. Players can place elements in the world that are represented by Magic Cards. This means the game doesn't have to go through an evolutionary process to get to intelligent life. Things can be spontaneously created.
2. The world map is a 4x4 grid and the 16 potential regions are identified by a letter from A to D and a number from 1 to 4, so the regions go from A1 to D4. During play we will populate a number of regions with magic cards that represent the terrain in that region (preferably a land card, but other cards could work as a representation of terrain as well). Any region not occupied by a card will stay water. Adjacent regions with cards will usually form a common land mass (deviations from that are possible). The map can be found below the rules.
3. New turns start every three days or when all players have posted (whichever is achieved earlier)
Every player can play one card each turn. It’s always first come first serve. Players can agree to change start times of course.
4. With every turn time moves forward. When you play a card, the associated event happens after everything that happened before. However, if it makes more sense that a new element may be just newly "discovered" that is possible too. Just use common sense.
5 Turns:
a) Every player can place one Magic The Gathering Card per turn in one of the regions to introduce something new to the world or change it in some way.
b) The first person placing a card in a region can name the region. Any card added to a region changes it in some way - it creates grassland, changes grassland to desert, adds a second related terrain, populates it with elves, builds a fortress, introduces a legendary creature etc.
c) Each player can interpret the card they play as they want, they may take inspiration from the art, the flavor text, the mechanics or the name to set something up in the world. I would recommend though to change Names to make this world feel more unique.
d) After the Set Up stage (see 6 below) every play should try to reference something that's already been established to connect stuff. It's encouraged to play together on emerging storylines and build upon each other or create a back and forth.
e) If players want to keep something a bit vague they can describe the new element as an in-game text (a legend, a history book, a payer, a prophecy) written by someone from that world to indicate they have established something that may have happened this way or another. But they can also write it down as "normal" description of the events taking place.
6. Game Stages: There are two game stages.
a) Set Up. This stage lasts until 8 regions have been populated with at least one card representing the terrain. As long as a region has no cards, a player can ONLY play a card there that represents a type of terrain. However players CAN decide to play cards in regions that have already a card there (for example to populate a region even if there are still regions that are "water"). This shapes the geography and the mysteries during creation.
b) Main Phase. This stage lasts until we don't want to play anymore.
Players can play cards that shape the geography, races, societies, cultures, some individuals, etc. from the creation onwards (everything is fair game, just keep an inner logic)
7. Posting format:
a) Post the number of the region where you want to place a new card (A1 ... A4, B1 ... B4 etc)
b) Name the card you drew or selected and post a link on the Gatherer.
c) Name the region if you are the first placing a card there
d) Write down a short text how the card moves the world forward and add a one sentence summary to make it easier keep track of events.
e) Finally post the updated History of the World by adding your one sentence summary to the previous History
f) Example:
Play:
Play: C3Llanowar Reborn: The First Forest
"But when the old world died not everything was destroyed – Gaia had rescued a single seedling imbued with the hopes and dreams of what came before. And she planted it and it grew and transformed and brought life to the Reborn World. And soon there was the First Forest."
The First Forest grows from a seedling that survived the destruction of the World Before.
Spoiler: History of the World
1. C3: The First Forest grows from a seedling that survived the destruction of the World Before.
8. If you want, you can use the following link to get to a random Magic card and shuffle through some cards until you have found one you like OR you can just chose your cards any other way you like: Random Card.
9. We will decide when something comes up we didn't think about. As stated in Rule 0: The goal is just to create a fun world together!
And this is our map (I will update it after the first few lands have been posted)
The first real round stars now and lasts for 3 days or until everyone has posted!
My first play:
Play: B1
Snow-Covered Mountain: The Eternals
"Before anything else there were the Mountains, reaching to both the Heavens and the Realms Below. Eternal, unmoving, awe-inspiring."
- The Prophecies of Fire and Stone
High Up in the North at the End of the World rises a Mountain Range that would become known as the Eternals
Here's the history of the world based on the pre-game turns posted
Spoiler: History of the World
1. A1: From the void came life unbidden and unbound, formless yet seeking form.
2. A1: And lo, the formless took form, forms of all sorts, of plate and beaks and tusks and fangs, each wildly different from the last and all garishly painted in the wildest of colours, as if they were celebrating the joy and strangeness of existence.
3. B3: Chasing angels or fleeing demons? Go to the Mountains they say...
4. B1: High Up in the North at the End of the World rises a Mountain Range that would become known as the Eternals
Good luck and have fun!Last edited by Wasp; 2021-11-17 at 10:08 PM.

Purge
Hearing tales of daemons and other atrocities some took up spell and sword to purge the mountains. Whether they came back was another story.
Spoiler: Ooc
So how should we interpret some of the lore we've established? Is the city of law inhabited by humans machines something else? Do all creatures return to the Mutavault or just certain creatures? Just some food for thought. Also can we get an update to map? if only which spaces are filled with lands.

As for the other questions:
I do think there might be an urge for all creatures to return to the crade, but not all do so. Maybe in a pilgrimage kind of way.
As for the Urza Lands. I have no idea yet... ;-)

The way I interpret it is that all who are born from the Mutavault have an urge to return to it. Eventually, once the urge grows strong enough or when they feel that it is time, they return to it and something else is born in their stead. But certainly, some could die before returning, for any number of reasons.

The savage, deadly land forged people just as deadly, fierce, sharp of eye and quick to strike.
Spoiler: History of the world
1. A1: From the void came life unbidden and unbound, formless yet seeking form.
2. A1: And lo, the formless took form, forms of all sorts, of plate and beaks and tusks and fangs, each wildly different from the last and all garishly painted in the wildest of colours, as if they were celebrating the joy and strangeness of existence.
3. B3: Chasing angels or fleeing demons? Go to the Mountains they say...
4. B1: High Up in the North at the End of the World rises a Mountain Range that would become known as the Eternals
5. B2: From the eternal peak rivers flowed and spread like spider webs.
6. B3: ...though the Mountains may yet hide demons of their own.
7. D4: And, at the opposite quarter of the cosmos, order spake itself from the void and made of nothing more of itself.
8. A1: But the beasts were not content to stay in one spot each wanted something. Something that spoke to them. A Home. So Beasts and Men, Great and Small fanned out looking for new realms to call home.
9. D3: No one knows we're it came from, some say it was there and the world formed around it. All know, however, that it has tirelessly been given to work in the High Arts
10. A1: And yet, always felt the urge to return, to come back to the place from which they had been made, so that one day, they might be remade anew.
11. C2: And while life was growing and changing so were the lands in the shadows of the Mountains
12. C4: The forces of making annexed a portion of the nothing to support that which was, instead of that which may be.
13. A2: In those early times, there were places and lands still where the distinction between them and beasts was still subtle and uncertain.
14. B3: Hearing tales of daemons and other atrocities some took up spell and sword to purge the mountains. Whether they came back was another story.
15. C3: I was inevitable. The Forces of Chaos and Life clashed with Order - and the land itself was upheaved and the sky was shaken. And so Death came into the world.
16. B4: At the borders, almost as if responding to the violence, the land itself grew sharp and deadly.
17. B3: In response to both war and horrors outposts sprang up under different commanders. Each claiming a different path though the mountains.
18. D1: And while the conflict between life and order raged above, something dark slowly began to stir in its sleep below the Frozen Ocean - dreaming...
19. D2: And, from the earth, the forces of order assembled one last thing from nothing, an endless trove as a gift. And all the lands thrummed with new energy
