Help us build a new setting!

A subreddit was recently started with the purpose of making the most inclusive setting ever made. Right now we are deciding on the origin of the world, then we will work on deities, planes and mechanics. The goal is to have a world with a distinct history with sections for DnD era, modern, and future type games. Our hope is that after we flesh out the basics of the world, DMs will drop plot hooks in the forum (which will be edited for consistancy with the world) other DMs can then scroll through our access database to see which bad guys haven`t had their stories closed and run an adventure on it. If the community likes the tale of how the players interact with the bad guy it becomes a part of the world`s lore. If the community overwhelmingly likes how Trog the barbarian aquired the maul of Morag the destroyer and leveled the walls of the kinggdom of Morotia it becomes lore, other DMs can then point out in laterr games how it seems like there is a patch in the wall that doesn`t match and locals can tell the tales for story depth, rather than it being another dull castle town you pass through. We will be working on the early world first (dnd type era) then modern, then future and recruiting mods for each era to help maiantain consistancy and prevent trolling. We hope to see you there! <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/REDONIA" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/REDONIA</a> edit:We settled on an origin story, now we are submitting deities(and demi-deities) planes and mechanics.

We've picked up a great deal of new people lately, but we'd love to see the ideas keep flowing in.
Bumping for attention
Sounds a very complex and interesting project. How do you intend to finialize the world setting and such? What games systems are you planning on using? What is the thought process of using a Access database (which in its self is probably going to be a lot of work) when a Wiki or such system would prove a better idea? Especially given that if the world is evolving at such a pace it means the database could be outdated fairly quickly.
I'm interested in assisting in this project, I have plenty of world building experience with my own games.
@Critanime once we establish a set of eras and map with countries you can make posts for your cities or proposed historical events. If they get a bunch of upvotes they'll be added. As for the wiki, I've never made one and hadn't thought of that. I know Reddit has some kind of wiki function. Nate F. Pm me your Skype and I'll add you to the group of people really interested.

Bump, last chance to get new ideas in before the origin story gets locked in on New Years day
Right now it looks like the universe is so that there is our populated and star filled space, then there is "void space" and as the stars die off and go out whatever is out there will be able to get in.
We settled on an origin story, now we are submitting deities(and demi-deities) planes and mechanics. We'd love to see you drop in.
