Region Description Feedback
« Topic Start: April 11, 2014, 06:55:26 PM »
So my East Continent character recently had some gamemaster feedback from his region description, and it was labelled bad. Fair enough, I don't put too much effort into writing for that character. I added a little blurb at the end of what was previously there and hadn't really thought anything about it.

I don't like to delete someone else's work, so I reworked what I had posted to be more general, and it was rejected. I'm not disgruntled or anything, I'm always open to reworking something, but the feedback system is piss-poor in terms of constructive feedback.

I contacted a dev to see if I could get more input. He said that with the new Titans, we'll probably see a lot of reviewed region descriptions that haven't been looked over in a while. He suggested public dialogue.

So, I don't have the first draft I had. I recall it had more temporary details, but it was still just the last paragraph:

Quote
Dimwood is a vital region in the east-west connection of Perdan, especially between the capital Partora and Aix as well as on the route between Aix and Perdan City.

It is a small rural region usually focused on farming and fishing, but its population also benefits from the trade route between the three cities.

Dimwood originally belonged to the Duchy of Aix within the realm of Perdan. Fortunately the region was saved from being annexed to the Diocese of Aix after the last Great War. Loyal Perdanese who did not get slaughtered in the other regions of the Duchy fled back into Dimwood.

After the destruction of the Theocracy in Aix, many of these people have started to return to Aix and the other regions, making the size of Dimwood's population fluctuate greatly in the recent days.

After its previous turmoil, Dimwood experienced a time of peace and grew to its full capacity. With time, separate cultures began to develop from the prosperity. "The Dim": comprised of mostly fishermen and passing traders on the coast, and "The Wood": comprised of mostly farmers and artisans in the plains and woodland.

Thoughts, criticisms, suggestions, and other people's region descriptions welcome.
