World Alterations
WORLD ALTERATIONS
?What are World Alterations?
World Alterations are just that - alterations players can make to the world of dreams by spending their accumulated points. From an in-universe perspective, they are the result of characters using their powers to leave even stronger impressions on the Dream Sphere than ever before!
World Alterations currently fall under two broad categories: City Expansions and Outlying Locations.
City Expansions are additions to the Slumbering City that Dreamers can create with their magic! These can be anything you like but as they increase in size and complexity, that price tag is gonna go up...!
Outlying Locations allow you create a new location for the Dream Sphere from the ground up! While randomized Outlying Locations can and will continue to be found via Excursions, this allows a player to create an addition to the Dream Sphere that's entirely their own vision. From an IC perspective, these will still be locations characters stumble across while out on Excursions - this just allows you to do away with the randomization element and craft something entirely of your own!

?How much will they cost me?
Because World Alterations are big, permanent changes to the game setting, their pricing reflects that! The final total of a World Alteration may vary depending on the size and complexity of the request, a handy dandy chart of some ballpark prices wouldn't hurt:
Yikes! Now that’s pricey!
Since these are big purchases, their points costs do unfortunately reflect that. However, to give as many players as possible a chance to play with this system, we do allow players to split points costs between them when purchasing World Alterations!
For every increase in size and complexity, one additional player can chip in with an equal share of the cost, if needed. For example, up to seven players would be able to contribute to the creation of a Large / Complex Alteration, but a Small / Sparse Alteration would cap out at one additional player. Be sure to include everyone's names on the request so point totals can be calculated as necessary!

?How do I submit a World Alteration?
Just fill out the form below and submit it in the comments for the mods to see. You may be contacted for extra details or general hammering out the kinks but once everyone's point contributions are confirmed, it'll be go time!
!I've got another question not covered by this page!
No worries! Drop it below and we'll get you a response as quick as we can!

Request Type: City Expansion (Slumbering City)
Alteration Name: Rat's Nest
Description: This building in the Slumbering City was almost entirely flattened during the Anniversary incident, and is still a pile of heavy, dusty debris. If you poke around a little, though, you'll find a small gap in the floor with a staircase leading down; looks like this place had a basement. If you squeeze down the damaged staircase, you'll find an area that is dusty, in disrepair, and also apparently inhabited? There's a makeshift hammock hung up here, a small pile of books, and a lot of charcoal drawings on the walls. Also...rat-sized clothing? No, it's probably for dolls?
Size & Complexity: Small, sparse
Approx. Total Cost: holiday freebie!
APPROVED
