Reposting link here because the page needs a lot of work and I need a lot of sleep.

Just in case no-one saved it, here'e the original image.

The last thread cut off early on sup/tg/ too, it looks like. Damn.

I would delete the original image and just link to the first thread, give the mod no reason to delete this one.

Can someone else do it, please?

Fuck me, /tg/, that was fast. areyouapsion.jpg

I LOVE THIS SETTING!

>>17835244
Picture added.

Though I feel we need a better image for the front of the article and instead should have that one at the end amongst any drawfaggotry.

Re-archived Thread 2, it's got everything now.

Alright, so, what do we need to discuss?

>>17835369
I'm still waiting for my jewelry.

>>17835369
why this setting is so fucking awesome of course

>>17835392
Because it was spawned from weird porn.

Well, we probably need some different factions and the likes.

Like cults who worship the walkers as gods or seek to destroy them.

The Cult of the Worm could be one of the latter, after the colossus described in one of the prior threads.

>>17835411
This. When /tg/ decides to make something terrible into something good, it works.

has anyone here seen trailers for "Xenoblade chronicles" yet? it seems awful familiar with the whole setting of people living on massive giants (except in that game the giants are MUCH bigger.)

either way i <3 this thread. look up the art/trailers y'all.

>>17835428
Also the sizes of the giants should be discussed

>>17835428
Well, I think it's established that most of the giants are basically small nations? Every single one is potentially a faction.

Crappy MSPaint Art for the Crappy MSPaint Art God!

>>17835449
I'm thinking as large as one of the NYC Islands. Not IMPOSSIBLY HUGE, but big enough for a sizable city.

>>17835455
I don't mean as in nations, I mean as in organisations or groups that don't necesarrily correspond with the colossus cities.
Say a cult that is widespread amongst the cities.
Or a particular religious organisation with temples on most colossi.

>>17835469
As long as they're big enough that "humans are bacteria-scale" is viable, I'm good.

>>17835478
>Say a cult that is widespread amongst the cities.
>Or a particular religious organisation with temples on most colossi.

...How often to colossi cross paths to the degree where this sort of thing would happen? I've been thinking of it kind of like the nations of Autochthonia in Exalted.

The large city backed ones likely don't walk around all the time, I imagine them laying down so long they are mountains in almost everyway.

>>17835272
It feels more epic to have the actions of man bumbled by the scale of such titans. To the point of finding ways to live trodden beneath their feet or holding onto the backs of them.

>>17835493
They don't exactly brush up against each other often, but they do travel close enough to each other for long enough to make airship travel viable.

>>17835483
No, not that big. There's a difference between "living on a giant" and living on a planet with a funny shape.

>>17835529
I meant less "size" and more "mentality", though that probably wasn't clear.

was "On the shoulders of Giants" considered as an alternate title for this?

btw, better drawfaggotry on the way

>>17835540
A better analogy would be those small fish that hang onto or around those big ones. Cleaning their skin and picking from their teeth, that kind of thing.

>>17835540
The main issue iss the interaction with the giants and the people has not been clearly decided on. So the inhabitants act like helpful parasites or do they interact with their home giants in some manner as I see both ways as plausible, I'm leaning towards the latter personally but a combination of both would be great to

>>17835579
If the giants are actively noticing the humans in any substantial fashion I think we're already diverging too much

>>17835560
Not really, it doesn't fit. Not literally or by what it implies.

>>17835579
HELL YEAH REMORA THOSE THINGS ARE AWESOME

>>17835587
A bit of both. Giant dwellers fight off the massive parasites, and they send out "Boogie Knights" to help the giants find mates. Some cities would obviously be a bit more dickish, seeking to abuse or control their giants somehow.

>>17835591
I think the proposal was that there is some form of communication, buts its more subliminal than anything.

Ideas and images rather than actual conversation.

>>17835641
Yes, I like it. For example, I think when there are two paths and the creauture doesn't feel strongly about either, then a suggestion should be effective, but if you try to tell it to turn back, it probably won't.

>>17835641
>I think the proposal was that there is some form of communication, buts its more subliminal than anything. Ideas and images rather than actual conversation.

Yeah, my impression was that the giant doesn't know it's getting its information from the humans (it may be unable to fathom something that small and insignificant), while the humans are never sure if it's their efforts that found the giant a mate or if he just knows where he's going. But they hope it helps, and it's institutionalized ritual by this point. It's good for the community to think you're helping your nation-world out.

>>17835641
true, but I think that both could feasibly work. subliminal messaging could work well especially for the majority of the quadrupedal giants while some form of actual communication for the bipedal ones. Of course this could be switched around from giant to giant, but it adds a layer of depth to how the different giant cultures would develop.

>>17835636
>seeking to abuse or control their giants somehow.

I am vehemently against this sort of thing being possible to manage. These things are basically forces of nature, to humans. Unless the humans are somehow at a level to perform tidal shifts or something, they shouldn't be able to meaningfully harm their host.

>>17835687
perhaps some sort of magical communication device only accessible by the elders/leaders of the city?

>>17835687
>while some form of actual communication for the bipedal ones.

If this is the case, it had better be really small. And the fact that they can communicate meaningfully with it should make the humans wonder if it's even the same type of being as the rest.

>>17835687
Actual conversation could probably work, but it would have to be rather rare I would think.
>>17835713
The idea was for this to be BBEG material more than anything, and it was off the level of lobotomising and stimulation of pain centres.

>>17835716
Probably less "communication" and more "offerings, prayers, and sacrifices"? Something where it's not clear that they're getting through, and they have to figure out whether their cries have been answered by what ends up happening.

Think omens and rituals, like the Romans? Even in their myths they didn't have the gods coming down and directly interacting with humans.

>>17835684
Makes sense. The rituals MIGHT do something, but no one really knows if it really is helping.

>>17835713
That would be passable as BBEG material. A crazy sorcerer or a dark lord that can control a giant would be established as serious goddamn business.

>>17835713
I said "seeking", not doing. But the giants aren't invincible, they mate, give birth, and die like any other creature. Some psychotic king might try and succeed at lobotomizing one, but since he doesn't know how to brain it would just tip over, leaving the city destroyed and everyone at the mercy of the ground's endless horrors.

I can imagine a human crawling into the ear of one of the humanoid ones and talking to it. They better be damn good at diplomacy though, and careful not to give the giant an itch. Their title would of course be Speakers.

ok, got something done. not as good as i'd like but this is drawfaggotry, not art.

is this something towards the size you were thinking ?

>>17835761
That's why evil tyrants lobotomize someone elses giant on the sly. Then their own can feed on the corpse and steal materials, supplies and valuables from the ruins.

>>17835796
Just about yeah, that's a good design too. I wonder how much of that is it's natural body, the result of natural processes and dug out, or built up by the inhabitants.

>>17835808
I doubt the city would allow him to drill into their giant's head, and if he was strong enough to force the issue that plot would be redundant.

>>17835833
does anyone here have a dA profile? this seems like one hell of a fun collab. and thanks for the design complement.

>>17835839
A hidden specialist ground crew sneaks up the legs under the cover of night, and sneaks into the beast head through whatever weak point it may possess and takes it out from the inside.

>>17835873
that would be one hell of a quest.

These giants, do they still exist, and if so to what regard are they held. Is it like in the picture, better worse, or just the same as any non giant fucking titan city carrier race

>>17835912
we never reached a consensus as to whether there were mire traditionally sized giants or whether there were only the colossi.

>>17835912
I'd like them to exist, but as an extremely rare sight in the cities. Maybe they can be traded with.

did anyone consider that the ground might have some toxin in it? (e.g. the spors in nausicaa valley of the wind) something like that could make more of a reason for them to live on the giant in the first place.

>>17835912
I was just wondering because if they did exist it would mean "hella fun time how does this city regard giants", descendants from their god(ess(s)) really big people, outcasts, nobles all that crazy shit

>>17835981
yes i believe so

>>17835981
It was mentioned as a possible reason as to why the cities are on the colossi, as opposed to just living on the surface.

>>17835981
Giant poop.

>>17836010
I just want to avoid them being intermediaries/go-betweens between humans and giants. Other than that, I'm good with them I guess.

>>17835981
If the ground is uninhabitable then the fluff we have for the surface dwellers no longer works.

>>17836051
Have to agree with this.
They are just another race, they merely happen to be larger, no way near the scale of the colossi.

>>17836054 there needs to be some incentive to live on the backs of giants other than rule of cool.

>>17836054
i just read that... it's still a viable idea for some origins of certain tribes

>>17836086
It was erring towards living on giants to avoid being crushed underfoot and as a means of protection.

Ok, maybe we should put down the vocab. As far as I gathered from the threads:

Giant: >>17835912
Colossus: >>17835096
Titan: >>17835103

Is that right?

>>17836116
very true

>>17836071
Keep in mind that we do still have colossus-scale human-looking ones as well. Assuming we're keeping to OP image from the first thread (which, hell, why not - the point of this was to make that not suck).

rolled 4 = 4

>>17836135
>>17836126
Go with Titans for near collosus scale humanoids.
Collusi slightly wider, and giants just ebing giants.

>>17836135
From a human perspective, there is a connection, because both are big.

From a giant perspective, the supergiants are pretty much the same as from human perspective, and humans are just tiny giants.

>>17836116
Depending on how big they are they may end up causing earthquakes/major tidal effects/fucking with gravity even, which would be incentive to live on a creature that's inherently capable of dealing with that

Plus people tend to call inhabited Giants Walkers.

>>17836161
>and humans are just tiny giants.

That's giving humans too much credit. Again, they're barely even aware of the humans.

>>17836126
>>17836156
This seems reasonable.

>>17836186
I was talking about those guys and calling them giants >>17835912

thanks. i might have to be a tripfag so my posts come across clearer. i was the drawfag with the collosus design above.

>>17836405
Drawfags are indeed welcome! Someone drawing the female giant from the original picture screaming "YOU GAVE ME PCs!" at the golem was a good portion of the reason we got serious about this.

Big trade-meeting happening over the next few months. Ol' Imrisa has been eyeing the World Walker to the north for a while now, and we're reckoning she's building up the courage to say hello. We were thinking of putting out a few lines, sending some people over and negotiating for some supplies. Been ages since she's had children, so far as the records go. We're hoping the ol' girl is still fertile enough. She's a tough old broad, and I'm proud to live on her. I just want somewhere for my grandchildren to live on.

>>17836420

After dinner I might do one up then. Any specifications on the species of giant? As in, can they be animals/humans etc.

>>17836449
I don't like that one quite as much (and here's why): "World Walkers" keeps the ambiguity of whether that's meant to imply that the Walkers themselves are the world, or is an acknowledgment of the fact that these massive beings are the only things that cam comfortably walk the world.

You know, because they step on everything else. And also the ground might be toxic. It's their world, you're just living in it.

You... you guys have been busy. Sketched this on lunch break.

>>17836463
So far they can look like anything that can feasibly move under its own power and people can live on. Giant tortoises, castle-golems, really really really large women (the aforementioned "living in clothes/inside hollow jewelery/in a very elaborate hat", etc.), you name it.

>>17836458
well, it doesn't have to be "advanced" per se, but something more natural, like powering things with their spirits. spirits leave the body once it's dead, so any sort of tech dies with the user more likely than not (considering the altitude of it)

>>17836458
Sounds about right.

>>17836486
Hey, welcome back man!

I'm thinking the only REAL Predator the World Walkers could have would be pic related, but a hundred times more huge.

Imagine it, giant winged snakes with cities along their spine, the only inhabitants of these World-devourers are Marauders and Savages.

The largest one, the Supposed "Brood Mother" of these beasts is named....

Quetzalcoatl.

Because every setting needs Aztecs.

>>17836486
>that feel when a skilled drawfag listens to you
Awesome stuff. Sorely, SORELY tempted to use this setting once it's all hammered out.

>>17836514
Fucking Aztecs.

Though if you really want to make an apex predator above and beyond the World Walkers, then you sure as fuck don't want it inhabited or even habitable. People live on World Walkers, and if THEY'RE scared of this thing, it's a fucking nightmare. You don't live on a nightmare.

>>17836514
i agree with the maruaders, i dont agree with quetzalcoatl. i think we can do better.

>>17836551


You live on a Nightmare if the only civilization you have is based around boarding World Walkers, murdering the people who live on them, and taking their supplies.

I imagine the standard method for Boarding for the people living on a giant snake would be to wait until the thing constricts the World Walker, and just rappel down the MASSIVE GOD DAMN CLIFF SIDES of the tail unto the city below.

aight fellow drawfags, heres a link to some good sketches for world walkers. plenty o stuff.

>>17836551
People don't live on nightmares. Nightmares live on nightmares. A hell unto itself.

>>17836582
>You live on a Nightmare if

Oh christ did I just name the thing?

I can get that crops and things could be potentially grown on the backs of such beasts, but what of there more sensitive things like metals, and other materials that cannot be grown?

Even trees would be a bit of a problem starting out, I'm sure because of roots a tree would only be able to grow to a certain point before having to be cut down, to prevent the roots from growing too deep into the City's back.

Forgive me if this has been brought up already.

>>17836514
Agree with marauders but not the apex predator. The only things that should threaten these guys is each other or themselves (lets say the most clumsiest Titan)

>>17836582
now, i imagine there can't be too many world walkers, so something like this is rather detrimental and scary to people living on other world walkers

What about cities small enough that their inhabitants can carve/create armour and fortifications for their dwelling? Or perhaps Titans small enough to live on for individual families/dynasties. The few, handful of humanity with enough power to own a titan all to themselves.

Or is that too much against the whole "Cities are forces of nature" thing?

>>17836604

But the People who live on Nightmares are Nightmares to the people who don't live on Nightmares.

it would be like (forgive me) the difference between Warhammer Fantasy Empire and Warhammer Fantasy Chaos.

Where one lives in a relatively safe and fertile place and the other lives in a harsh tundra, where no man SHOULD be able to survive.

>>17836609
this brings up a good point actually, it seems the walkers that are more golem like would have the advantages of natural resources and could easily become trade cities/colossi/titans.

>>17836631
I've been assuming anywhere from 2-4 dozen of them of various sizes.

>>17836632
There was an idea that smaller colossi/titans could exist and travel in groups for protection.
I personally have nothing against this.

>>17836514


I agree with everything, except for the "Brood" idea.

I get behind the idea that there is only ONE of these Apex Predators at any given time. Because no matter how slow the World Walkers breed, if they don't have some sort of predator they WILL eventually have population problems.

>>17836632
that is eerily adorable

>>17836632
>Or is that too much against the whole "Cities are forces of nature" thing?

I'm inclined to vote this way. Though they could definitely do it for the giants, if we're keeping them as distinct from colossi/titans. Big things; not big things you can live on?

>>17836670
>I get behind the idea that there is only ONE of these Apex Predators at any given time. Because no matter how slow the World Walkers breed, if they don't have some sort of predator they WILL eventually have population problems.

Only one, legendary Nightmare spread off across a world that can comfortably house a few dozen World Walkers and only have them meet every few months/years? I'm okay with this.

>>17836676
What about giants just large enough for a house? Wandering the lush and fertile landscapes of TRULY massive World Walkers, nomadic tribesmen would pitch tents on the backs of their somewhat unruly companions. Perhaps individual families could be on first-name basis with their house-giants.

How about if there is a whole wide range of sizes these things have, and not because of them being different types. The size off all of them constantly grows, depending only on how long they live and how well they eat.

>>17836695
i agree

>>17836695
This seems good.

>>17836698
I'd be more alright with this so long as it's established that these giants you can communicate with are just trying to imitate the massive and enigmatic World Walkers as a gesture of awe/respect/admiration rather than being smaller, related cousins of such.

>>17836725
Yeah, just imitations. The actual Titans are truly immortal and leviathan in scope, whilst the giants are mortal, age, and eventually die of natural causes.

>>17836725
That might work.
I do agree that the only colossi should be, well, colossal.

>>17836750
If we're sticking with "human-looking/fleshy Colossi" as our definition for Titans, I'd include them too.

aight DRAWFAG TIME. what do we want to see?

If we are limiting it to one superpredator, why not have it be that our world walkers only breed when one is killed? Have there only ever be X world walkers, making death of one a reason for city folk to fear for their safety as the titans move to mate. Of course, such deaths are extremely rare.

For years the nightmares persist, for ever creature, every mortal and giant, even the greatest of the walking worlds feel ill at ease. At the height of the madness when all the land is in panic, it stirs.

A long slumbering nightmare that lives beneath the earth, maybe below the waves as well, slowly giving birth to an army of demonic creatures on it's dark and dire carapace. Then it emerges amongst earthquakes and tidal waves to feed on lesser beings, which is everything, and grow ever stronger, only resting again if it is beaten down by the combined might of the world. Or after it and it's children has consumed all.

A tarrasque among tarrasques.

How about your take on a "Mascot" Titan of such?

>>17836770
Think you could try your hand at the Nightmare?

One thing to note, if the titans/colossi are worshipped, then some people are going to worship the nightmare.

I propose the cult of the nightmare below.
A cult that is dedicated to awakening the nightmare.
The exact reasons for doing this vary from sect to sect however they can normally be split into two groups;
Those who seek to awaken the nightmare so as to colonise it.
And those who seek to use the nightmare to eradicate the walkers.

>>17836799
This with a black city of smoke-stacks and smog on its mighty back.
Need more details, let me know.

>>17836789

This.

Also constriction really seems like an appropriate way for such a being to kill Titans. Makes it deadly without the need for "It's fucking huge in Comparison to a Titan"

Wouldn't a cult dedicated to the nightmare be eradicated by the cities inhabitants?

I'm surprised how much we've gotten done as well.

Guys guys guys.

Do the Titans even eat?

Does the Nightmare even eat?

If all of the MAJOR Titans are made of stone, and Females are rare.

The Nightmare Serpent could have many titles, from the Devourer, to the World Shaper (Imagine giant mountains being formed in a day, or being leveled in a night)

Imagine it, there could be cults dedicated to the Devourer, and Cults dedicated to the World Shaper. Both about the same great beast, but with opposite views.

>>17836978
If they find it.

>>17837025
Titan refers to more humanoid creatures, they are fleshy and are likely to resemble ludicrously large giants.
Colossi refer to more artificial looking constructs.

>>17836514
I think there shouldn't be anything that really hunts them. They die to age, rivalry, and occasionally disease.

The immune systems in these things has to be retardedly powerful. In fact, I'd like there to be some kind of Mega-phagocytes that guard the brain and other critical organs. Something to dissuade people from casually lobotomizing the things.

This seems....right.

I mean, since the dude who came up with it used THAT specific picture, I always felt a deep sadness whenever I had to kill that Colossus. It was such a destructive force, but at the same time it felt like it was a -part- of the world around it.

That one dude was right, unless the Titans have something to hunt them, no matter how slowly they breed, without something to keep them in check they WILL eventually have a population issue. Whether it be food or space.

There must always be a devourer, a world shaper, a Nightmare serpent.

Maybe the Titans would eat things very rich in minerals, then when the defecate >>17836609
You have minerals. Some places have a "Catcher" in place, which is sort of like a giant diaper of sorts. Other Titans tend to stick around for a bit after eating and such, in sort of "Rest period".

In this "Rest period" Works in the feet are able to fly down and gather the minerals in the feces, thus making a Titan a completely self sufficient thing.

Different diets would give different minerals, so trade is the main form of interaction between nations.

Arachnotopia, land of the totally unentangled in spider webs.
Arachnotopians spin their clothes from spiderwebs. The webs of the colossus is far too big, howeever, but it's not the only spider around. Arachnotopia has large herds of regular giant spiders, which they use for meat and clothing.
What do they wear? Spidersilk.
What do they eat? Spidermeat.
What is their armor made of? Spider chitin.
What are their arrows coated with? Venom.
What do they ride on? What drags their plows? What drags their carriages and wagons? Spiders. Giant spiders.

They even invented the spider net thrower. It is a throwing mechanism that throws spiderwebs. "Sure, it works with spidersilk and tangles the target up," said the general to the engineer. "But what if we add tiny spiders to the net?"
"Sir," replied the engineer. "Isn't that enough spider already? Don't you think we're overdoing it with the spiders?"

The answer was no, there can never be enough spiders.

well, it's a bit rushed but heres what i've got. i decided to make it fly the same way squid and deep sea eels do, rather than straight up wings. it keeps the momentum and shape of the snake intact. also the membrane on the bottom side of the snake acts like ratlines to it's inhabitants.

tell me what u think

>>17837183

I like it.

Also, what is your stand-point on the "World-shaper" and "Necessary part of the World" ideas?

Personally I like both of them.

>>17837183
fuck that is rushed. sorry for the poor quality, but at least we have a thumbnail.

I know that a lot of our work has been based on the walkers ignoring the people on them, but some of the art depicts cities that would surely be burdensome to them. Eventually they'll take notice.

I imagine some city becoming too great for the walker to handle, so it shakes some of it off, or gets another walker to smash a few blocks off or something.

Unless all the buildings are made of balsa wood.

Alright, I'm the anon who's been archiving these (since the first thread), and I'm going to bed. Re-archived at http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17835096/ since it doesn't seem to update itself.

If this hits autosage (or dies), someone please re-archive it again. Goodnight guys!

>>17836976
Everyone has at least one enemy, even the gods.

>>17837208
I would say it depends on whether the walker is sentient or not, and if so, what its opinion on the cities was.
Some may put up with it, others may not.
More still may not even be aware that it is inhabited.

>>17837208

Well you see, most of us have probably come to the conclusion that fucking massive cities don't get built overnight, but little by little, since it actually takes a fucking long time to even build a stone FORT.

So it's like, the Titan grows stronger every time the city grows larger. Just like a human get's used to getting fatter over the years, or you get used to lugging around a fucking massive back-pack in Highschool.

>>17837219

>>17837092
So a rock walker eats an iron-rich mountain and shits out a load of bauxite, which is traded to a turtle walker that ate a forest and shat out graphite.

Awesome.

Of course, it puts organic walkers that eat food and shit shit at a horrible disadvantage.

>>17837245
i agree. the titans/whateverthefuckwe'recallingthem should be a natural force discovered by humans and used as a leg-up on the other earth dwellers

and the devourer would certainly have many cults about it, but perhaps they see it asn an angel of death rather than a conquering nation?

>>17837201
My main issue with "necessary part of the world" is, if we DO want to make this a setting, killing the World Walker-Eater seems like a great final quest. Unless finding a way to keep the world sustainable without World Walkers having to be devoured is also a part of the quest?

Also, is anyone going to update the wiki page with all the new stuff we've got? The official name World Walkers and the different classifications of fuckhueg beings, how the inhabitants communicate with their Walker (i.e. via ritual where they're still not actually completely sure it's having any real effect, but it's a community-building thing anyway), the Nightmare, the extra writefaggotry and drawfaggotry we've gotten...

I'd do it, but I'm already doing a terrible job of going to bed and I don't want to make it worse. Mostly I just want to make sure this shit gets put in there before we steamroll right along to a new thread and forget to add in the old stuff we've decided on.

what about armor? the people make it a single sheet at a time and rivet it together like shingles on a roof, but massive. a stone hide may be tough, but a metal one is better.

>>17837314
Personally I think we leave the current name as it flows better in my opinion.
As for the wiki page, I can do some work on it tomorrow, but it is 3:30AM here in britain and I need to sleep.

>>17837340
No, the name of the setting is still the name of the setting. I just meant the really-goddamn-huge things have an official name now. And subcategories.

Next thread should be about the world cause that'll be fucking crazy as well as nail down some basic and necessary fundamentals of the environment.

>>17837365
Ah, I misinterpreted.

>>17837219
BRIGGZ. I EXPECT TO FINALLY SEE PEOPLE LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF JEWELRY AND CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH JANGLY EARTHQUAKES BY THE TIME I CHECK THIS AGAIN TOMORROW. CAN YOU MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

>>17837372
Ok how about this: aside from being generally hostile, fauna and flora, the world has frequent and totally unanounced natural disasters, and the colossi seem to have a knack for avoiding these.

>>17837314

Well, I always thought it would be an interesting twist.

Imagine it, after tearing the Great Devourer from the skies and slaying it, saving all of the World Walkers for all time. It could open up to a second campaign. Decades, maybe centuries later, long after the original heroes have died. People see that there are more Titans, far more than there ever were before. Hardly a week goes by without seeing another Titan, another city.

Then it occurs to them once the food for the Titans starts to dwindle, or more Titan bodies are seen, caused by violence between the Titans due to the decreased Territory.

Then they hear rumors, legends? Myths? that the Great Devourer, the World Shaper and the End Bringer was actually needed for the world, and that there have been whisperings among the Kings and nobles of ancient texts found, thought to belong to the End Riders. Of an ancient egg that never broke, that never grew warm or could be broken.

The Death of the One Devourer opens up a second campaign millenia later, the quest for the World Shaper's egg.

>>17837269
You need that stuff to grow crops with.

>>17837254

>>17837439
That's what I was thinking, but do anyone but the humans care about that? And remember, to Titans/Colossi humans are completely beneath notice.

>>17837458
And that's all I'll need to start running this setting.
Depositing another World-Walker of dark and horrible stature.

Did someone say huge?

>>17837407

I LIKE IT!

I think I heard someone say huge.

Because this guy right here is pretty huge.

>>17837515

>For a World Walker
>Right next to mountains that are even taller

>>17837559
He does look neat as shit, though, I like him.

>>17837557
>near things bigger than it
>calling it a World Walker
2/10 would reply again

>>17837559
Obviously those mountains are huge themselves.

Generally Titans stay in one climate, due to their diet, so the inhabitant of its sprawling cities grew the proper crops and weatherproof their homes to whatever elements are expected of the climate.

There are rumors of few Titans that are so massive they have their own climates, plantlife, and wildlife. Even its people have developed their own culture that cannot be found anywhere else.

>>17837624
goddamnit I've been looking everywhere for that pic.

>>17837602
...I would assume that EVERY World Walker has its own culture. They only come into contact with each other once every several months to several years, and then only briefly. World Walkers, by-and-large, are solitary creatures.

Also while we're establishing the dietary/biological differences between Colossi and Titans, they do need to be capable of interbreeding. Or at least have the same desire to mate with each other as they do with their more similar brethren. Blame OP picture.

>>17837664
>>17837650
It's one of my favourite colossal creature pics, and one of the main images i've had in my head for the setting.

>>17837657

>>17837657
I don't know if I like the idea of artificial World Walkers. Mainly as it implies someone is building them, which is taking World Walkers away from their unassailably supreme position (barring the Nightmare, but there's only one of that guy.)

So instead of the surface being toxic, should it just be extremely dangerous in a way that prevents settlement but would still allow fora temporary gathering of resources for the resource scare titans

>>17837699
Yes, glorious!

>>17837741


The answer is.


We copy Dune.

The Titans are the rock mountains.

>>17837624
This is perfect. Huge and strong enough to support its own climate and ecosystem, and a civilization wouldn't add much weight if they made their homes in the mountains.

A question: A lot of these seem like unique individuals. If we're calling them "parts of the world" then that doesn't matter, but how would they reproduce, precisely?

The one I'm referencing is definitely NOT getting mounted.

>>17837754
File it under "Things Man Was Not Meant To Know"

In all seriousness though, almost certainly depends on the walker in question.

>>17837741
I'd prefer to think of the flora as being the biggest constant problem for land dwellers. Giant, fast growing, dangerous itself and attracts even worse things the eat it. We're talking about an ecology that supports walking worlds, every part of it is going to be hard to deal with.

>>17837754
Considering our running total for all the Colossi and Titans put together currently has an upper bound of 48? I'd say they're all unique.

Archived YET AGAIN because I'm shit at going to bed.

Going to bed for real now. Really. I mean it.
>eivtemen night,
Even captcha is telling me to.

>>17837754
This distinction could be made the Colossi are things like this>>17837624
they don't reproduce they just happen every couple of millenia, as for titans they are capable of reproduction but like giants and humans have lifespans albeit unrivaled lifespans but they will eventually die and the can be killed by each other or the nightmare if that stays a part of the world so as to present a way to keep the poulation down

In the last thread we determined that there ARE Surface Dwellers, but the Surface world SUCKS, and they have to be nomadic to avoid Giants and other dangers.

>>17837832
Except Colossi still have mating urges (one was screwing a Titan way back when this whole thing got started), so ostensibly they do reproduce.

We just haven't figured out precisely how it works yet.

Anyone here played Xenoblade? Although it's set on a 'dead' god/collosus, it's kinda related. But I must admit, making it a live god/collosus would make for very a very interesting environment.

Getting a WIP in before the thread autosages...

>>17837892
i mentioned that when this thread started. truly interesting setting.

>>17837854
what I meant was that there are material titans as well. This was just my attempt at making sense of something. It would probably be best to stick with the original distinctions of titans and colossi to avoid confusion though

>>17837998
It hasn't for any of these threads. We lost the last third or so of the first one, and the second one had to be archived again after it went into autosage.

There's a lot of terms being used.

World-Walkers, Titans, Colossi

I assume WWs are the truly, astonishingly large ones that look like Final Fantasy boss fights. Colossi are smaller and seem humanoid, and Titans are the smallest of the lot (size of a mountain?) and look human.

i am so beat. sorry guys i'm out.

>>17838008
Nope, I have computer labs instead.

>>17838022
World Walkers is a catch all term for the creatures being described by the setting.
Titans are humanoid beings that have flesh, they are effectively ludicriously large giants.
Colossi are inorganic constructs, they are more like the creature in the opening post, they may or may not be humanoid.

Giants are just giants, they are noway near as large and are not world walkers.

>>17838022
World Walkers are anything big enough to build a city/small nation on. They're so big that they don't even register the existence of humans, and are subdivided into Colossi (made of rock or some other inanimate material - can still be roughly humanoid in shape) and Titans (big and made of flesh. Tend to wear their cities rather than have them built into them). Humans living on World Walkers "communicate" them via the performance of communal, religious rituals (e.g. to help their WW find a mate or food), though no-one's sure if it has any real effect (if it does, it's subconscious), or if the WW runs across food or a suitable mate afterward of his own doing. They do it anyway because it helps strengthen the community and they like to think it helps.

Giants are significantly smaller, capable of supporting maybe one family of humans. They'll communicate with humans and are not related to World Walkers, but they choose to carry humans around to imitate World Walkers as a gesture of awe/respect/etc.

Clear enough?

This stuff is supposed to be getting on the wiki at some point.

>>17838059
>>17838087


How big would you say the World Shaper is?

I think that it should be seemingly impossibly long, if only slightly thicker than an "average" Humanoid World Walker's arm.

It's hard to imagine what it would be MADE of, a Fleshy World Shaper doesn't sound right, and having it be purely rock doesn't seem right either.

Something compels me to say "solid" quicksilver.

>>17838087
>>17838059
Got it.

Can Titans and Colossi interbreed? If so, is the result a hybrid or one or the other?

>>17838022
Last term, which you probably haven't seen, is the Nightmare. There's only one of this guy, and he's the only thing with a decent chance of taking a given World Walker without going down himself. He's the apex predator - a huge flying dragon thing who basically keeps the World Walkers' numbers in check. This guy is naturally an absolute horror to anyone who lives on a World Walker (read: most of humanity). The total number of WWs is anywhere from 24-48, from what we've figured out so far.

ok, one more.

>>17838139
Look at the image that spawned this entire setting. Its in the linked to threads in the OP.

>>17838153

>>17838132
>>17838145
The Nightmare and the World Shaper are the same thing. One's just what humans who live on WWs tend to call it.

We don't know yet if Titans and Colossi can produce viable offspring. We do know they mate, thanks to the picture that kicked off this whole thing.

>>17838164
Yeah if that's a Titan I don't want to see the Nightmare.

>>17838164
This guy's not a Titan, he's a Colossus (he's made of rock or something). He actually looks a lot like the Colossus from the first picture (got a knight's-helmet head and everything).

They're about the same size though.

>>17838156
You ever amaze me /tg/, never changes. Alas very cool setting.

>>17838132

In my mind, I see the Nightmare, the Worldshaper, as this impossibly long sky serpent, parts of it are made of molten rock, others are frozen rock, still others can have jungles, tundras, all sorts of biomes.

With the head being seemingly made of Obsidian with veins of Marble all through it.

>>17838139
Well, we don't know if they CAN interbreed, but they TRY anyway.

what about this in the setting:
the titanslayer is an ancient artifact from before all records
although it looks similar to a normal sword, it possesses the power to let a mortal kill a titan
nobody can guess why it was made or who made it, but it makes you wonder when it would have had a purpose

>>17838236
forgot the image

>>17838156
Looking at this image, I'm thinking that maybe Colossi would be the city-bearers, and Titans would be the reproducing class? Because a human form is not conducive to carrying cities.

>>17838236
We've had the idea of the protagonist from Shadow of the Colossus as basically a BBEG of the setting. "Mortal who can kill World Walkers" is good with us, as long as there's only one of 'em. After all, most people LIVE on the things. You'd have to be pretty fucking evil to start killing them deliberately.

>>17838236
Personally I'm against it.
Having an item that lets a single person kill a world walker seems a bit anti-climactic to me.
Killing a world walker in my mind would involve a large number of people and an awful lot of effort not to mention luck. That's assuming that it is even possible.

>>17838236
No.

These creatures should be beyond humans in every way. The only thing that can kill a world-walker is another world-walker, or the Nightmare.

Having a human-sized sword that can kill a titan is like having a bacteria-sized sword that can kill a human. Can you imagine a single bacteria, without reproducing itself or causing infection, killing a human being? Impossible.

>>17838252
Titans carry humans in their clothes (on the insides of jewelery, in very elaborate hats like the second image posted in this thread, in crevices in clothing...) Someone from the last thread mentioned humans building rope ladders and whatnot to get from "village" to "village" across various garments and adornments.

People living on Titans tend to have it harder. Colossi tend to house the really big metropoli. People on Titans are generally spread out into more, smaller settlements.

Also be warned, that image has gotten one of these threads deleted once already.

I have a few mosnter than can enter in the category of WW... So I will post some in there...

>>17838252
We've already decided on that.See >>17837897 for an example of a titan carrying a city.

>>17838258
I was under the impression that the BBEG was not killing world walkers, but was somehow controlling them.
At least that's what was put forwards in the previous two threads.

>>17838276
I could see sentiently controlled bacteria designed to do as much damage as possible getting into the brain or heart and taking it out that way.

>>17838305
Oh, right, he was more "fucking them up"/"lobotomizing" them, wasn't he?

I'm getting tired.

>>17838317
Indeed, think that doctor who episode with the space whale and spaceship britain.

>>17838291
>Also be warned, that image has gotten one of these threads deleted once already.
I think it was more of the WAT DO? then the image itself.

>>17838313
>I could see sentiently controlled bacteria designed to do as much damage as possible getting into the brain or heart and taking it out that way.

Yeah, he was doing this sort of thing. Except I think we'd decided even that wasn't enough to actually KILL one. Fuck it up but good, though? Yes.

>>17838317
Trying to, but our best attempts at lobotomy have resulted in catatonia, which would be lethal in this setting.

>>17838313
Except a single bacteria is going to get murdered by the immune system. And a single human with this sword is going to get murdered by the population on the walker, or by the walker itself. They ignore humans, but if something is stabbing the fuck out of you you're going to notice it.

Oh, she IS a colossus? I figured she was just wearing something really elaborate.

>>17838450
That's brilliant

>>17838450
Very nice, but as was earlier mentioned, that level of development will be noticed. At that point, interaction between humans and walker is given. No walker would let that level of civilization develop without some serious bonuses.

So for titans at least, there needs to be communication. Since they're mostly human, that should be fine. Colossi can remain unknowing because they're fucking huge.

>>17838461
Maybe she's a half-breed? We've got proof of Colossi and Titans breeding anyways, stuff like this is a perfect halfway point.

>>17838466
Thanks.

>>17838496
I'll admit, I wasn't paying attention to this thread. Just had the idea of a city upon a Colossus-ess and threw it on the thread. Hope it inspires such.

>>17838496
Ehhh, I've mostly been working with "They're pretty much Cthulhu in mindset, so they either don't notice, completely ignore it, or don't care."

David shivered at a gust of biting wind, crossing his arms tightly beneath his woolen jacket. Leaning in to the wind, he quickened his pace, eager to escape the open air and bitter cold. The morning was clear and bright, save for a few errant wisps of fog that still clung to the craggy upper reaches. Distant dirigibles scudded through the blue sky, sunlight glinting off their steel frames.

Turning a corner in the rough-hewn road, a grin spread across David's face as the city of Redmount spread across his view. Built right into the stone sides of their Walker, the cities ancient buildings seemed to crawl up the sides of mountain, stacked endlessly atop one another. Bright banners and flags snapped smartly, advertising noble breweries, general stores, renowned gunsmiths, and the myriad other businesses that had sprung up. The narrow streets were packed with innumerable crowds, flowing up and down and inwards and outwards. The noise of their movement was clear even from the bottom of the city, where David stood.

With a spring to his step, the boy skipped into the city, one hand firmly over his coat pocket. It wasn't often that he had coin to spare, and he was determined to make the most of what he had. Hopefully, if he had more delivery jobs like this one, he would get to make more trips into the city. Maybe he would even be able to buy some sweets from the confectioner, if he had money to spare at the end of the day!

A rumble filled the earth then, and a great grinding sound, as though a boulder where being smashed against a cliff face. With a colossal thunder, the city lurched forward, sending unwary pedestrians stumbling to their knees. Loose furniture and goods were thrown into the air, pelting unfortunates with leftover lunches and silverware.

>>17838513
So they CAN interbreed?

That does answer my question re: a colossus with swollen mammaries.

>>17838496

I think for Titans, it isn't so much as not noticing, it's much more "Don't give a fuck because it's slightly different colored rocks on my skin with tiny things living in them that aren't outright harming me"

>>17838450
That is pretty damn good.

>>17838535
At the very least the full-sized WWs should never fully piece together that the humans are sapient, considering how alien WW and human psychologies are to one another.

But her nipples are rock. She's probably entirely incapable of lactation.

...Why am I thinking about this

I did have a setting colossi. They didn't breed mind you, but with magic having returned, the planes of Africa simply stood up and started walking around in circles.

With new magic related storms/natural disasters claiming the entire land(s), people noticed how the collosi were never caught in them, constantly wandering around and in between them.
So the people adjusted to a nomad lifestyle, carefully following the colossi, without getting caught up and destroyed by a colossus directly, but also naturally not being left behind or getting caught up in a storm.
The capital, lead by a former Earthdawn character, built the capital right on top of the largest collosus. And to be frank, a safe haven to anyone hunted by Dragons, not that the people are very keen on accepting outsiders.

Also, while I don't want to be that guy who doesn't do all the reading, did we ever come up with a reason people live on these cities and what these giants do? Cause I have an idea for both, if anyone wants to hear it.

>>17838623
The giants do whatever their inscrutable god-minds decide they want to do. All we know is that sometimes this involves eating or mating.

People live on them because life on the surface is hostile. Having one of these things tromping around near you is not good for your settlements, and building on World Walkers allows for more permanent homes.

Also something about the ground-based flora maybe being toxic.

>>17838200

David weathered the lurching movement with the ease of long practice, one hand latched onto a steel rail, his stance wide. Within seconds of their commencement, the great rumbling stopped, allowing the grumbling of the crowd to be heard once more.

David nodded wisely at the statement, then promptly forgot the whole occasion. He had an important job to do, after all.

Glancing at the burden he carried once more, David cast about the street, searching for a building marked with the same insignia. Although he could not read the signs that marked every street corner, David had wandered the cities streets many times, and had come to navigate more by instinct than conscious thought. It was the work of mere minutes before the boy discovered his target.

A sharp rap on the door summoned a portly, well attired servant, who regarded the scruffy boy with an expression of distaste.
"Evenin' sir," David began, drawing himself up self-consciously. "I's been hired to deliver this package to yer' home. ' Was told I'd be paid for me services."
The last part was lie, David had been paid in advance. But it was always worth trying for a few extra coins. Holding the package out hopefully, David smiled in what he hoped was an endearing manner.

The butler gingerly accepted the package, wiping his fingers as he set it aside.
"Here, boy," He said brusquely, holding out a pair of half-dollars. "A bit of payment for your troubles. Now get yourself gone."
David quickly snatched the pair of coins from the servants hands, scampering off before the man could think twice about it.

Chuckling, the boy ran back into the city, eager to spend his newly acquired wealth.

Entirely up to you.

Writefaggotry after we've hit autosage?

That's dedication.

Huh. Kinda had a different idea.

In every generation, there are humans or other sapient mortals who are said to be born with Giant Spirits. They, in turn can forge a mental imprint with a giant, becoming a sort of hybrid creature, the human (elf, gnoll, kobold, whatever) is the Guide, who provides the alien intelligence of a giant with the goals and ambitions of an intelligent being, rather than somewhat alien-beast intelligence.

The giant however provides the Body. The Body has needs. Absorbing and relinquishing magic, living around comfortable leylines and manapools, fucking, and so on.

Cities are founded on the back of these Titans because they tend to be safe, as well as the trade nexuses of Kingdoms, the giants being a kind of citadel unto themselves, often enough, brought to a vaguely controllable level with Guides. "Vaguely", mind you, since even as Bodies become more human with the exchange, Guides become more alien, and in then end Guide/Bodies have more in common with other giant-symbionts than the respective races they came from, especially when a Body wants to and eventually does fuck and the other way around.

So, you know. A lot of adventure hooks there. Helping a Guide tame a Body, kingdoms trying to keep a hold of things when their Guide takes a city off to do some unknowable giant thing or something. Wars between different kingdoms on the backs of giants.

Oh yeah, and different types of giants doing different things and whatnot. Rocky giants digging and building mountains and passes, humanoid giants leading flocks and herds of beasts, hybrids doing other stuff, and Guides bonding with all different kinds of giants...

I was writing before it hit auto-sage.

I'm kinda slow.

>>17838793
I suppose I'll continue this next thread. Maybe I'll actually get past the build up and get to some action.

>>17838879
Next thread probably isn't for several hours yet. Most of us have gone/are going to bed.

>>17838908
That's what I meant. It's getting late here too.

>>17838914
Well, feel free to re-archive this, then, since it's got new writefaggotry since I did it and I'm still on a timer. See http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html for the appropriate tags and whatnot.

>>17838936
. . . I'm not sure what you mean by re-archive.

>>17839020
Same as when you try to archive it in the first place, except it updates the archive of the thread

We are archived.

>>17839049
>>17839020
And we do this because, while Sup/tg/ DOES auto-update, it does so very slowly. many times when new stuff is posted after bump limit, it gets lost because sup/tg/ doesn't get a chance to auto-update before the thread 404s.

Oh, bump.
