Cross-recomendation (setting promotion idea)

Quote from: GambleWolfWhat about a keyword cross reference like they do with blogs. Like a list of words that are linked up to settings/elements?
Off the top of my head: Macabre, Haunting, High adventure, Western, Feudal(Japan/Europe etc), system/rules-heavy, Homebrew Mechanics, Extensive, Bare-bones, Visually Striking(meaning thread presentation)

Not hard at all to do that with wiki categories. Hint, hint.

Great idea! But the fact that it's Knife's Edge being mentioned as my work makes me think I really need to get something new out there.... Lol. I haven't updates the Edge in over a year, I think it's probably an official dead setting by now.

That is, indeed, very relevant. I can use that that to make more recommendations. Do you plan on updating that at all?

I can look into updating parts that might be relevant.

SDragon · November 04, 2010, 09:06:35 PM

It might be relevant in it's entirety. It gives lots of similarities between different settings.

Thank you for the support. I updated it a bit.

One thing about it for people to keep in mind however; although two settings may be in a block together, they're likely to be different in writing aesthetics if not in play-style.

For example, I have: Changeling: The Dreaming and The GrimDark IdDark (Light Dragon) in the same square... I stand by my classification of the two in that square since they are both Dystopian Adventure settings; but there are huge differences between the two in their aesthetic dressings. Changeling is modern, GrimDark is fantasy. I don't know if someone who likes the one would be attracted to the other-- but they are similar in style with decaying worlds, fantastic creatures, and weird wit.

And if you like decaying worlds, fantastic creatures, and weird wit...

Really, like Salacious Angel said, we don't need much to stay ahead of the curve on this. I think we can do much better than par if we really think about similarities between settings.
