The Prometheus Project (http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Prometheus_Project:Main_Page) is a collaborative world building project. The setting is centered around the emergence of city states in 9 different regions. Each region shares a common cultural heritage but each city state in each region is unique in many aspects. The basic technology level is that of the Bronze Age. The setting is also a humans only and low to no magic, people are superstitious and magic and mythology exists in the minds of people. Magic, if it exists, is subtle, wild over the top magic is the stuff of myths and legends, and there is not an out of work wizard on every street corner.
There is wide variety of material to be worked on.
Regions
City States (regional and independent)
Barbarian Hordes
Specialized Subjects
Anyway, take a look and if you see what you like and have something you want to add, post it up in here and I'll add it to the page Everyone gets credited for their creations of course, and I'll use your screen name unless you otherwise specify that I use your real name. If you have any tips or general comments those are welcome too.
I like the map. But what led you here, stranger? I believe the CBG has done it's own project like this.
Well, he Kirk has every right to showcase his own here - if you remember, I used to be trying to start something called the Aniga Project and IIRC that was around the same time CeBeGia started. It looks pretty awesome to me.
What led me here? well I was wandering around the internet and I found this site and said to myself, "myself how cool is that!", an entire forum dedicated to creating campaigns. Perhaps there are some like minded people who enjoy the creative process and would be willing to share feedback and maybe, just maybe, want to add something of their own to my project. Who knows, it could happen. I've already had four people from another forum add some material. As for CBG having done this already, that's awesome, is it still in progress or is it finished? I was unaware of its existence until you brought it up. However, does the fact that CBG has done this before mean that I cannot try and do it again? If so I'll pack up and move along. I was simply trying to get people interested in my concept and at the same time assure them that they would receive proper credited for their submission and that they and their work would be greatly appreciated if they decided to put in the time and effort to contribute something. I have no motive but to help create an interesting RPG setting.
Thanks for the compliment on the map, I'm sure that count zero will be happy to hear that you liked it. I know I liked it.
I wasn't suggesting that you couldn't or even shouldn't post this here. Rather, I was saying that;
1. By this being your first or one of your first posts it makes it look like you're here just to recruit people for your project and not to be an active part of the community. That bothers me a little. And,
2. You might not find a lot of volunteers since this has been done here before.
No problem. I just thought I would post up what I have been working on for a while as way for people to get to know what I'm working and what I'm interested in. Meanwhile I've been trying to familiarize myself with everyone else's work, which is not easy task, there is a lot of great stuff here. You're probably right though, I should have tested the water with my toe first instead of doing a cannonball into the middle of the crowded pool.
I was a cannonball too, don't worry about it. :)

Huh, that doesn't sound very welcoming... I didn't see any rules saying you couldn't recruit for other world building projects.
I found this site by wondering around the internet. I work a lot, but when I find time I peruse the worlds on here.
No, it doesn't sound that welcoming. The impression I got was that he didn't plan to stay.
If he does, though;
Welcome aboard.
....and even if I were here to just recruit people it's not like I'm running the Heaven's Gate cult or something.
You're not? Damnit, then, you won't be getting any help from me!
Forget about it.
