https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okavango_Delta

> This delta is a massive, shallow lake where several rivers pool together, never reaching the sea
> Humans live together with a species of dog sized termites, who build their houses and weave their clothes. In addition, they create a lot of paper which is exported to foreign lands for trade
> In return, the men regularly embark on hunting expeditions. They hunt wild game for themselves and the termites to eat.
> The termite hives are massive things, cut with terraced gardens, about as dense as the kowloon walled city except it has a lot of courtyards, tunnels and stairways honeycombing the whole thing
> Their culture is extremely communal, with people living in very large family compounds designated to them by the ruler of the hive
> It is not the queen per se, but every time there is a new termite queen, a man is chosen to mate with her
> The progeny thus conceived is the pontifex, a sterile being born with incredible telepathic powers. This individual is no doubt a termite human hybrid
> The pontifex represents the interests of both humans and termites, and ensures that both groups live together in harmony

> The water is so rich with minerals it crystallizes occasionally
> Eerily reflecting the pseudoscientific theory of neptunism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptunism
> This creates islands of salt or potassium or whatnot, which are frequented by elementals
> The native tribespeople, foreign colonists, and the elementals are in a constant resource war over who can own these mineral islands
> There are places where the concentration of minerals is so thick, that the water instantly becomes solid crystal when you step on it
> These are called "hard lagoons"
> The dead are placed inside ornate coffin canoes and ceremoniously cast into hard lagoons, where the water instantly crystallizes around them, leaving them entombed for all eternity.

> Located in the Peruvian Andes in Cusco just 3 hours away from the historical center, Rainbow Mountain is becoming the main attraction to see after or before Machu Picchu. As you could guess, the mountain is famed for its natural, multi-colored beauty at a staggering 5,200m above sea level. This rainbow-like appearance is created by the sediment of minerals throughout the area giving the mountain the turquoise, lavendar, gold and other colors.

> It was only recently discovered due to the snow melting revealing the hidden gem that’s still considered holy by many until this day. Since its discovery, Rainbow Mountain as slowly started gaining popularity and has even been listed in National Geographic’s “Top 100 Places To Visit Before You Die”.

Stole this for my world.

> When the great hero Kaipatu Kōpaka came in his reed boats, he searched for the mahinga kai so that he could gather food for his many wives and children
> But his people were greeted by a frozen land, and when he sought to find the reason why, he faced a tribe of pale skinned giants whose flesh was as ice and snow
> Long serpents whose breath was as fire slithered across the land, freezing all the rivers in their path
> The giants had kidnapped the sun and the rivers and forced them to labour for them in their underground kingdom
> So brave Kaipatu travelled deep underground and slew the giants with his jade mere
> This frightened the serpents so badly they slithered out into the ocean, to the cold embrace of the south wind where they will never be found again
> As they slithered away they left winding tracks across the fair plains, scraping away the dirt so that all that was beneath it was rock
> And thus the braided rivers of Waitaha came to be

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijen

>Known as the Land of Blue Fire. A place of salt flats, bitumen geysers, beautiful acid lakes, wells of liquid sulphur and nocturnal blue flames.
>People live in villages and towns atop the many mesas.
>The single local city, Adulum, is a mess of rope bridges connecting the top of a hundred buttes.
>The lack of suitable wood and soil, plus the high heat makes it so people dig out their homes and palaces from the soft rock instead of building anything, except for the temples. Those are built with great blocks of salt.
>Underground aquifers provide water through wells and cenotes, both for people, yam farms, and the iguanas which provide meat. Some cenotes are used to breed armored eels and arm-sized shrimps.
>The communities use great drums to message each other.
>The local resources precious enough to be exported are salt, obsidian, sulfur, troglodyte slaves, potash, brass crafts and emeralds.
>They import wood, silk, cowry shells and iron.

>Armor is seldom used, but large shields are very prized, specially if they are made from the colorful scales of shadow-eating nkala snakes. Both the snakes and the shields are capable of storing and discharging sunlight in the form of flashes that might blind someone. The difference is that once the snake does this upon someone, his or her shadow disapears forever, leading to the loss of sanity and vital force. The nkala shields are used to stun troglodytes, making them easily capturable.

I'm sure freakshit refers to RPG characters that stray beyond the super narrow paradigm of what is "acceptable", not fantastical settings.

It's a useless and arbitrary word that I wouldn't grieve if people stopped using it tomorrow. I don't give a shit if you want to make an extremely gaudy tiefling or firbolg, or a boring ass mudcore human fighter, just do what makes you happy without worrying about what some spastic online thinks about it. 4chan is about individuality, or so I hope.

Gas pipeline rupture, Gulf of Mexico
>The winter town of Helmuth, built in the early days of the northern expansion, huddles around the warmth of its namesake: the "hell-mouth" phenomenon.
>Seismic events in the region lead to the fracture and exposure of one of the greatest oil/gas fields in existence, spewing thousands of tons of flammable fluids into the surrounding ocean.
>At some point in time, an unknown factor - possibly a lightning strike or hydrothermal vent - ignited the mixture, setting the surrounding waters ablaze for decades on end.
>While most of the fuel has long since burnt away, the local ecosystem has never been the same; strange microorganisms and colonies now dominate the oxygen-starved waters that prohibit the growth of more "normal" creatures.
>Still, a great column of fire remains, bubbling against the ice above. The town of Helmuth was first formed by those who sought to plug the fault, to harness the gas and oil fields for mankind's own purposes.
>That was nearly 60 years ago.

Yeah that's a good inspiration for a fantasy local- the only river in the world that ends without hitting a lake or the ocean.

In Antarctica there is a bleeding blood-lake that leaks out into the sea. That's what it's actually called, and it looks like a glacier is bleeding. In actuality it's a frozen over lake filled to the brim with red algae, but it still looks like a glacier is bleeding.

A more mundane one, but on the US Eastern Seaboard, particularly in the southern states there's the Fall Line, which is where it's many rivers terminate from being navigable to sea-vessels to not, and it's where most of the South's major cities lie, as it's the natural area for trade inland to meet a port and meats trade from the seas. It limited colonial expansion up until the American Revolution- and I think it's a good worldbuilding trick when making a map.

Also pic-related is the Sir Walter Scott Monument in Edinburgh Scotland. Even as a child I thought it was something out of a fantasy movie. It's a monument to a famous Scottish poet credited with helping reinvigorating scottish culture, and it's the tallest building in the city, outside of the Castle and a lighthouse. One of it's legs is the staircase you can take to the top, and I've personally been up it, the rain and tourist foot-traffic has made the steps extremely sloped, it feels dangerous to walk up, and the corridor at the top is so thin that I think anyone generally fat won't make it through- I found it claustrophobic, and I'm thin as a rail.

Reminds me- Silent Hill is based on a real town in Pennsylvania. It was hit by a coal fire- which SUCK, because they last for decades as coal veins underground burn.

I've had a search for scientific papers and geologic maps of the area, but couldn't find any on the topic (or maybe they're in Spanish). If you have tilted strata then then you've probably got a fold somewhere (either a syncline, anticline or even a monocline), and the geology of Peru has been completely crunched and bent into all sorts of funny shapes by the compressive forces that formed the Andes. From looking at the geology on the satellite, it appears to be part of a huge E-W or NE-SW running syncline (well, synform technically since we don't know for sure that it's the right way up) with its axis to the north. You can see more of the structure in this photo of the mountain just to the ENE of it, though the turning-up of the layers on the left side of the photo appears to be a parasitic fold (i.e. a secondary fold embedded within a larger one).

>serious issues with your own imagination and using it.
There's no better way to stimulate one's imagination by using something that *actually exists* as a springboard. We're not copying real life geography wholesale, we're adding to reality.

If I were to come up with a place completely out of thin air, it would no doubt be in some way subconsciously influenced by a place I have heard of or been to. There is no possible way you can be 100% creative. Anything we make ultimately derives from reality in the end, so there's no need to fuss about whether something is creative or not.

The OP post features a symbiotic termite human civilization, ffs. Isn't that creative enough for you already?
>>
>>80166405
>serious issues with your own imagination
Well exfuckingscuse me for not fitting your arbitrary standards on how I should write bits of lore. Maybe I should instead come up with ideas straight out of the void, influenced by absolutely nothing in the universe and perhaps by having shit I make filtered through infinite layers of abstraction, I will have fulfilled your standards of what "creativity" is.
>>
>>80166405
>fantastical from the get-go?
Because reality is our springboard. There is no way around it. It just so happens that real world inspiration is quite useful.

It has always been this way for as long as mankind has existed. Fantasy is not so much the creation of an entirely new thing than it is viewing the world a certain way and letting your imagination run loose with what you have already perceived.

>Do you have autism?
Yes. I do. I was diagnosed with it when I was 5.

>Are you poorly read?
I have a shit ton of secondhand novels at home. My favorite authors are China Mieville and Fritz Leiber. I was at the top of my class in high school when it came to English, and I still am in University.

>Did you never left your hometown?

Rice terraces and terraced fields in general are amazing proof of human superiority over nature.

Humans living in hilly and mountainous areas literally went "fuck nature I want to grow shit here" and using iron and bronze tools terraformed vast swathes of countryside in a middle finger to nature. Like this sort of thing happened in 800BC or even earlier if the Greeks and Ancient Chinese are to be believed.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this but using real world references as a springboard is literally considered mandatory practice in most visual creative fields, even when designing fantastical worlds
If you create something that doesn't resemble anything in the real world whatsoever, good luck getting your players to understand what the fuck it is

Have you tried not being Americans and live in a country with real denominations for a change, rather than catch-them-all term? I mean fuck, even Chinks differentiate between "Catholics" and "all the other Christians"

Do anyone have any advice for modifying IRL maps, like picture related, to use them for fantasy settings please? Like, just enough so it’s recognizable if you look, but not immediately obvious?
>>
>>80147581
I like this. If you made this, good job on making interesting labels and placenames.
>>
>>80182696
If you want it to still be recognizable, just rotate it, reverse symmetry, add or remove some bits, change size

Really the issue is which christians are fundamentalists. When a christian, or anyone else religious, just believes in some wacky sky-god, but otherwise doesn't expect you to follow their religious codes, or thinks believing in a sky-god makes them better than other people, then they're decent folk. I volunteered at a soup kitchen in a scotland church, bumped elbows with some nuns, and they were fantastic people, totally chill with me being an athiest.

Personally I think the problem with religion as a whole is that as more and more people are becoming religious, it means that more and more of the dialogue proportionally is taken up by fundamentalists. So increasingly fundamentalists are dominating the discussion within religious circles.

That sounds... counter-intuitive.

Surely when the religion has very small followings, only people who take it hard core are going to be there. And when religion goes mainstream, lot of people who are not that much into it will flood the organization...?

This is more of a specific practice / location than a locale or environment, but it's still pretty cool:
>The cremated remains of the deceased are mixed with cement to build statues
>Said statues are then emplaced in the sea with plaques memorializing the deceased
>The statues then form the supporting structures for the development of coral and associated communities
Might be an interesting feature for a maritime/nautical culture, as a development or alternative to burials at sea.

Sorry, I mistyped- I meant to say irreligious- as in either agnostic or athiest. No religion is currently the fastest growing religion in the united states.

Are there any good free programs or sites that would be helpful for that, and seeing how the changes would affect the environment, beyond just Photoshop?

No. Doing it any other way is psychologically impossible. There is no possible way to mentally visualize anything without using real world references, if not fictional references, which are all in one way or another ultimately derived from real life itself.

Why the fuck do you bitter cynical egotistical fuckwits instantly assume people are trying to steal your precious ideas? Why do you shit your pants and cry every time you see an inoffensive prompt that you are well within your rights to ignore?

A setting doesn't belong to just one person here, it belongs to everyone. Nobody is asking you to build a setting for them. /tg/ has always been about people coming together to pool their ideas into something that works. If everyone were cunts like you, CATastrophe and Galgeleth would never exist.

Hindus believe that you earn class, called vajra, and that the earned circumstances, prakhrya, literally translates to privilege.
Karma is fundamentally hinging on privilige.
