The Manual › Make It Your Own

Craft Your Own World & the Community

Build your own world, historical, mythic, an anthology or anything at all, then keep it private or share it on Your Community.

Craft Your Own World lets you build a setting from scratch. Describe your idea in a sentence and the world builder fills in the rest: its premise, factions, economy, social order and everyday sights and sounds, ready for you to edit.

You need a registered account with a verified email. Free accounts can create while they have turns left this month; Architects can create at any time. See Turns & Access Tiers.

Kinds of world

  • Historical: grounded in real history, with the same guard against anachronisms as the official eras.
  • Myth: gods, monsters and magic are welcome.
  • Anthology: a series of connected stories (episodes) set across different times and places under one theme, with the same tone and recurring characters.
  • Unbound: anything at all, from prehistory to science fiction. See Unbound & Community Worlds.

Sharing

Every world has one of three settings:

  • Private: only you can see and play it.
  • Public: anyone can play it.
  • Open: anyone can play it and add their own stories to it.

Shared worlds appear on Your Community, where you can browse and like other players' creations.

Keep improving it

As the creator you can change your world mid-game with Timekeeper Mode and save changes back to the original so every future game gets them.

Good to know: official eras and myths open with a hand-written scene, so they start in a few seconds. A custom world's opening scene is written by the AI from your description, so it takes a little longer.
