One more day to go! Tomorrow I will pick the winning hooks, and then Round 2 will start. If no one else votes, then it looks like #1 and #6 will be the winners, and coming in third #2 & #8. Why no love for #3? That's a joke, I can see why only one person liked it.
The Final Votes were as follows:
#1: 14
#2: 9
#3: 1
#4: 6
#5: 5
#6: 11
#7: 4
#8: 9
#9: 2
#10: 3
I have decided to use the hooks of the top two vote getters, which are #1 and #6:
1. It is after the end of the world; the final battle between Light and Darkness has taken place and those that have survived struggle to remake a new world.
6. A primal world shortly after the Creation when the Gods still walked the world and the characters set out to create civilization.
I should also note that there was a tie for 3rd place, #2 and #8:
2. A fantasy world of wild magic, mad gods, broken nations, savage monsters, and lost treasures.
8. A world where the characters wake up deep within a dark dungeon, with no memory of who they are or how they got there.
Someone asked how #1 and #6 could be mixed together, because one is about the end of the world, and the other is about the beginning. In order for something to begin, something else has to end. The World is destroyed after an apocalyptic final battle between Light and Darkness, and all of the Gods of both sides, and their armies, are destroyed too.
However, the Creator, who comes from the Otherside, decided to recreate the World. I would simply rewrite #6 as follows:
6. A primal world shortly after the Re-Creation when the New Gods walked the world and the characters set out to recreate civilization.
Then it would be simple to throw in #2. #8 is more of a situation than a World, but it could be used as the start of a great adventure on this Recreated World.
I want to thank everyone who voted in Round 1, and as promised Round 2 starts tomorrow with a surprise...:D
