World Building

I'm looking at trying some proper world-building. Of a Sci-Fi or Fantasy setting, I haven't picked yet. I have a few written ideas for Cyberpunk universes, and bits of concept art for one, but I want to try something else for a change.

If I went with fantasy, I would try not to go Tolkien-esque. I have some old ideas for a very dragon-centric world that I may revive. Otherwise I'd probably try to aim for more "gritty", little to no magic and intrigue-filled universe. Lots of warring noble families...this is possibly heading into Game of Thrones territory.

Sci-Fi is a little harder. I've spent a long time developing Cyberpunk universes that I haven't really thought about straight sci-fi in a while. I may go the Firefly-esque route of a ragtag society with two very different faces, or I could go more along the lines of Star Wars/Warhammer 40K and try and build a few/many different alien species, heavy military, etc.

I need to settle down and write out some ideas in the next few days...
