SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Look, let them have their floating safe space. It leaves the rest of us free to imagine all the radiant inequalities we like.

Especially the ones we like ;-)

Because me creating the thread and those who have posted in it can magically stop them right?

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Like the tin says, how about collaborating in creating a setting?

As a productive thing, should we attempt to make the non woke version of The Radiant Citadel? Welcome to The Dark Citadel, a floating city that wanders over the world following the whims of it's Dark master.

It's not Ravenloft so no Vampire overlord and no "there's no escape".

I say the Dark Master is an Ancient Red Dragon, who rules over it, the populace is kept there against their will and monstruos guards patrol the streets to keep them from organizing or attempting to escape. The Castle in the Centre looks like a 5 arms sea star, the original builder had placed portals over the city so people could come and go, but the Dragonborn guards don't allow any humans, elves, dwarves or halflings near them now.

Some of those portals may or may not, lead to other planes.

Your OP goes way too far from the actual material in the book. To make it a dystopia you should just make all the setting assumptions as similar to the book as possible, but taking them to more realistic conclusions than the ones they do.

But that's just the anti radiant city, that's not the goal, but to make something original, interesting, fun and not-soy.
