Creative Writing Projects

  2. FTL travel? (yes/no affects everything)
  3. Alien life? (none, microbes, intelligent civilizations)
  4. Government? (federation, empire, corporate, anarchic)
  5. Tone? (optimistic, dystopian, realistic, pulpy)
  
  Answer these and I'll generate a detailed world bible.
