Poll: What Story?
Ended Apr 9, 2017
You can vote for as many of the above options as you like/find appealing. This poll will be open until the morning of the 9th, on which I will begin designing using the ideas that win each poll. If there is a tie, I will decided between those that are tied.
Setting descriptions are too long for polls/was causing errors, so they are abridged and posted below:
Jenusis - A wild "Garden of Eden" created by Garruk with no intelligent races or humanoids.
Astra - Starlight empire, advanced in artiface, begin settling on elemental mana moons with indegious elemental beast.
Trumloka - Buddhist/Hindu cosmic realm inspired plane that is a hallucination made reality despite the plane being inhospitable.
Xerex 1 - A giant planar labrything of Unknown Purprose/Origin
Xerex 2 - A Plane created by an oldwalker with artificial biomes all connected by the "Stairs to Infinity"
Elysium - Dreamlike world of fairtales that appears joyful but has illusion and trechery underfoot.
Ardeka - A World of Battling Angels, Demons, and Sphinxes where red and green have little influence; a world with no passion.
Happy voting!

Very neat ideas, and how they will be mixed together should be amazing.
All the polls have been added. Please participate in all 5!
I disagree!
Doesn't make sense for me to include such things for several reasons. First being since settings, planeswalkers, mechanics, and more are being mish-mashed together, I can't provide examples that fit the possible combinations without showing a bias. A number of these ideas leave room for me to interpet them as well, and I don't want that to interfere with the voting. There is also the fact that me putting together custom designs for things now would mean I'm not doing it in a single day!
Besides, atogstorm, this is hardly the first thread in this forum to not have custom cards in it. I think the content is relevant enough in that it's setting up a custom card project.
How long do you estimate it will take?
To design a set in a day?
Dunno. But I'll do ill I can in a day, and discuss my thought process and designs as I do them all the while excepting criticism and commentary as I post thing live in the set thread. That's my plan anyway.
Thank you kindly!
The poll is now closed. Prepare yourself as I update the original set thread and start streaming live in an hour, at 9 am EST. Join me as I explain my thought process to those in the channel as well as accept feedback as I churn out designs and ideas.
The Set Thread is Here.
The Live Stream is Here.
Come watch and talk with me!
Any interest in doing a post mortem?

You could also outsource some of the more time-consuming work like finding artwork to the audience.
But I like the fact that someone had the courage to just plunge into this and break the ice while I'm sitting on my hands.

I'm thinking about continuing to work on the set at a more regular pace. The timing for it just turned out to be wrong and I hadn't thought through a lot of the potential issues in doing the event.
Thanks for the feedback. I think these are good ideas. It would be very easy to have a screen capture of putting cards together in MSE and seeing that live as opposed to refreshing a thread on MTGSalvation (Although people would have trouble viewing the entire set as a whole). And I agree the project would probably work best with at least two people, so there is banter and to motivate each other.
Those who watched and gave feedback throughout the day I thank you as it was very helpful, but it was hard to stay motivated when there was little interaction outside of that. I ended up streaming for a little over 7 hours, and talking endless to myself about what I was doing for that long just wasn't going to work.
I think these are good ideas as well. Magicmultiverse might be the best place to work on a set live. I don't think artwork should be a priority, but if you want to include that in a set in a day style project, you should probably have a team member who is completely dedicated to just that.
I realize I may have disappointed a number of you in not reaching the goal, but I learned a lot from it and still produced some interesting ideas. I plan to take that forward and work on the set, refining it properly.
For anyone out there who would like to attempt the same, Id be willing to join in as a team member as well.
Unless I find another site like it it might generally just be the best place to work on a set at all.
I agree, but it's something you could allow for audience participation. One thing that wasn't very clear to me was how much input was welcome e. g. when you were talking about having individual holes in your commons. I'm just thinking of stuff that is really out there and seriously beyond the scope of a single person.
If you'd like to use magicmultiverse anyway, I have copied your cards into a private set there to have a better overview over the cards. I could make it public and/or move the cards over to a set you administrate.

wow, that's really cool of you. Yes, I'd like to have access, whatever method works best.
