| Wandering Star is an explorer's roleplaying community. Self aware, smart and occasionally breaking the fourth wall. Our universe extends beyond character sheets to include pretty much everything imaginable. This all goes through a system of community approval for fairness to ensure balance and consistency. If you want something and it doesn't exist, you know what to do; and we'll do it with you. | Wandering Star is an explorer's roleplaying community.

| ==== Creating and adding elements to the Setting ==== | |
| When you create something, it's not just a toy for you to play with. It's a setpiece, something to be seen and used and enjoyed by others. Keep that in mind when you are designing something. It's highly recommended that you create a sandbox page for yourself under "user/NAME/SANDBOXNAME" for a personal directory for your in-progress works. | |
