Already have it 

[Hugehead]

Yay! Mine done first!
Have it as well.
ASCIIDraw download, for you lazy people.

[abculatter_2]

Breadbocks' is done... and I think I'll take a break for awhile.

Things hopefully won't go so slowly once I have these finished.

[breadbocks]

Mail me?

[abculatter_2]

Mail me?

I'll send the ASCII maps once they're all done, since there's story to go with them.

Unless you want the pre-ASCII map results, though that will have spoilers.

[Neyvn]

I have Ascii draw so I am all good for it on my end...

[abculatter_2]

I just realized how useless all the stuff I was doing was...
Okay, before I waste more time trying to get this thing started, let's get started!

For over a month you and twenty others have been at sea, banished from your homeland and cast adrift on the vast sea for crimes too numerous to count. The king of your homeland had enough mercy to send with you enough hardened bread crusts, gritty barely-edible slop, tasteless salted meats and recently-used dish water to keep you all alive (if you could call it that) for 41 days, though none aboard that ship had any concept of rationing and after 31 days you sail on your first full day of an empty stomach. However, just as those aboard the ship begin to eye each other's hamstrings, a cry echos across the ocean, filling all aboard with hope.
"LAND, HO!!!"

You land on a dark-tan shore, its sands a welcome reprieve from the undulating waves. After kissing the ground, spitting out sand, and walking a short distance up the beach up a small embankment, you find that this yields to a vast grassland sparsely dotted with trees. Farther inland, no more then a day or two from where you stand, a large, peculiar outcropping of white marble can be seen, along with a wooden shed and crane next to a shallow indentation within it. Beyond that your eyes fail you, though turning back toward the ocean you see fish jumping temptingly from the waters, which several of the others are already attempting vainly to chase and catch.

A heretic, they had called you. Blasphemous, the thought that they might be wrong!
They want to worship demons which exploit them, fill them with lies, then abandon them when needed most? Let them, you say! They shall wallow in death and deceit while you shall find the true gods man was meant to worship, those that love and care for their followers!

It was over a week ago when you and twenty others were exiled from your village, with nothing but what you could carry on your backs. Your food and water runs low, all but the crudest of spears and weapons were taken from you before your exile, making hunting difficult. You are still just as passionate about your quest as you were the first day, thought the others are beginning to mumble their doubts.

Ye Known World

This universe was once chaos, a meaningless void ruled by the fanciful whims of chance. Now, it has gained a solidity unsuitable for such a past, and you have come to unravel it.

From the void this world was birthed from such origins you hail, given just enough form from this wretched reality to stand and walk within it. You have but one goal on this earth, destroy it, and thus allow chaos to rule once more. But you are not alone. At your back are your kin, reality bent and wrought by the shapeless void and loosed upon this world to crush this foothold of sense and reason, along with the vast formless powers inadvertently made upon the creation of this reality.

You, are a demon, and you stand with twenty others upon a dark stone island surged from the sea's floor to serve as your stronghold. Behind you the senseless void yawns massively, taking the form of an eerily glowing crack large enough to swallow several houses extending infinitely into the earth. You can sense the land beneath you beating and growing, and you know that southward this island shall grow, in no more then one year's time forming a perfect bridge to this world's mainland. Though you are restless, as are your kin.

Ye Known World

Spoiler: Techno (click to show/hide)

For generations, tales of short, stocky men and that coveted, beautiful metal they were always associated with, mithril, have rung in the ears of children and inked the yellowed pages of ancient tomes. None today believed them to ever have been true, the silvery bluish heirlooms and artifacts which dotted the oldest of families in this city being dismissed as simply some form of enchanted silver. None, that is, except for you. You claim to have found the very mine from which, eons ago, the earthy dwarves mined their precious metal. Through luck, determination, and a bit of money from a source you would not care to mention, you have assembled a rag-tag group of 20 peasants, scroungers, and ne'er-do-goods with nothing better to do, along with just enough supplies to establish a small mining outpost at the foot of a small mountain overgrown with the intelligent trees of the Elven Wood.

Arrival to your destination, no greater then two weeks afterward, bodes well for the foundations of your settlement. A natural spring burbles nearby, and the trees, though not particularly welcoming, seem to be willing to tolerate your presence for the time being. After a small bit of searching, you discover the collapsed ruins you search for, barely recognizable as such, overgrown with thick roots and shrubby, flowery growth. You decide that this is as good a spot as any to begin setting up.

Ye Known World

Spoiler: Ochita (click to show/hide)

For generations your tribe have wandered this expanse, nomads whose only concern was survival in this hostile realm. Until, that is, one among you noticed that one of the plants in the scarce oasis which dot the sands had grown considerably since your last visit. It was also noticed that this plant was among those which bear fruit, and in a sudden revelation he remembered that he had eaten some of this fruit here not long ago. On the journey to the next oasis, a partially-underground river which manages to escape the oppressive heat of the sun, these revelations worked their way around this man's mind, eventually accumulating into the epiphany of  the basis of agriculture.

You are among those he has convinced to stay at this river, to end their life of eternal wandering and begin a new, sedentary life of growing and tending. Unfortunately, he's chosen the spot most known for its vicious sand worms.

Well, saw what Ascii Draw was, and there was no mention of if it ran on linux (Don't even mention wine) or not and as I'm using my phone as a modem at the moment I don't feel like downloading it to find out.

Know of any linux programs that can use that file by chance?

Edit: Also, awesome! I get Dwarven ruins!

[Neyvn]

Hmmmm... This one is pleased... Though is at the moment lost on what he is spos to be doing, I guess that of the nine tiles I see, 7 are water, one on the right is the 'fortress' and the other is the rift...

Can I also not that it is hard to type with you right middle finger bandaided up and is sore and infected cause I pulled the wick out of the fingernail quite badly...

[abculatter_2]

All the city tiles themselves are currently empty, so you can build anything you want there (so long as you have the materials). Alternatively, I could give you a delicious random encounter to munch on. Mind you that there is a slight chance off death, though.

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but we're using this as the turn structure:

I took a deep breath of the air that surrounded me, coughing up phlegm and spit at its disgusting taste. The lack of Chaos was evident in the atmosphere alone. I couldn't believe how far away of the truth this realm had come, it didn't belong here, like this stale peace of, of, of, pureness......

"So what now..."

Snarled one of the warriors behind me, the hissing of the stone corroding from my spit started to reach it full potential as the other creatures began to crawl from out of the Void and onto this plane of existence. I could feel his fear rippling off of him as my hand snapped around and grasped his throat, squeezing until I could feel the energy pulsing through his body...

"I will tell you when you are ready to know..."

The growl rolled out of my throat as he began to chock on his, the creatures eyes beginning to roll back in it head, sweeping my arm I flung the creature, releasing its limp body to fall back into the void. Though not dead and would return to the surface, his place was now known. Turning my attention to the third Warrior to have risen out of the void behind him, I twitched my finger to call him forth...

"Take the men, I want to know what this Isle holds within a week, We have a year to prepare and I don't want to see any of you not doing anything else I will take all of your hides and present them to your replacements as armour. After that, build some Neatherfarms, gather some substance on which I will feed and start building my nest... Do you understand...."

The creature lowered his gaze and head and whole body with every word I spoke, shrinking before me before finally scampering off like the dog he was, commanding all that had finally arrived on this plane into action. Taking another breath I spat once again, this Realm was too 'Good' for its own good. Chaos will soon hold its true form here, just like it did many millennia ago...
