#setting design

[dice-wizard]

I'm writing an epic fantasy novel I fully intend to publish. I've been developing the setting in a way that's inviting to OCs and roleplaying. I want people to inhabit this world, to feel welcome and seen. As I've spent the past decade working in the ttrpg industry, I think I have a strong handle on this. I want people to make homebrew and get creative with it.

That being said if I see thoughtless D&D comparisons I'll destroy you in ways hitherto unseen.

"Uriel is a Barbarian who-" No. Absolutely not. I'll tell your mother what you post.

"Aanya is a Ranger or a Gunslinger from-" No. Incorrect. I'll let my cat pee in a hidden place in your house.

Steampunk Town! See the little people inside the house? This was inspired by Okage, Robots, and The Jetsons. :)

What is the layout of the RV interior? (Elliott from Earth)

AKA there was no good reason for me to investigate this so deeply

Was I trying to build the RV as a house in The Sims and realized I had to actually figure out its full layout for that? Maybe, maybe not…let’s get to it though

So we can put together a pretty comprehensive layout of Elliott and Frankie’s RV just by looking at scene backgrounds, plus trying to make sure the recreated layout roughly fits the size of their type of RV. Their RV is what’s called a Class C, which can vary in size

As I tried to put together a layout “map” of the interior, the interior size it ended up reaching put the overall vehicle length at roughly 30 feet (see pic of random example 30 ft RV below)

With an interior length of about 28 feet including the overcab space, and a typical width of about 8 feet, a rough floor map ends up looking something like this:

Now most of these rooms and their furnishings are fully seen and known, since the living room and kitchen/dining area are all together (and there’s plenty of different scenes throughout that space to show it off) and there’s multiple shots of Elliott’s bunk too.

But…we have a few mysteries left. What’s the deal with the bathroom, and the (presumed) bedroom for Frankie in the back there?

Let’s start with the bathroom. In RVs, some models—usually small ones needing to save space, but Elliott and Frankie have a kinda unorthodox design with their RV, and maybe they just wanted the convenience and saved space with their RV too—have a “wet bath” for the bathroom. A wet bath is a small bathroom where the shower space and the rest of the bathroom are combined, so that basically the room itself IS the shower but it also contains other bathroom amenities.

We get only a glimpse of it just once, but enough to see it IS a wet bath:

There’s only that one very limited shot of it, but I think the rest of the room can be estimated, as you can see from the layout map I drew lol

Most wet baths, especially more room-sized ones like that, usually have a sink in one corner. We know it’s not in either of the back two corners we can see in that scene, and it can’t be mounted on the right wall surface there since that’s also the door, so that only leaves one corner where it could be.

From there it’s easy to just use process of elimination again to figure out where the toilet would be too—not visible at the back wall, can’t be against the right wall, and based on typical wet bath layout (and seeing where Mo is standing) it’s likely not on the left wall.

Other than that, looking close at the shot of the room for the other main structures of it, there’s a built-in shower shelf with bottles in it, the shower head and controls, and what seems to be a rounded corner shelf in the back

Overall, in the context of the scene it ends up something like this, with the sink and toilet out of view of the “camera” and the characters standing in front of them. Enjoy my awful drawn-over diagram it’s not pretty or perfectly accurate but it should get the point across lol

But enough looking way too closely at that. What about the other room—(seemingly) Frankie’s room? We see even less, but there’s still a bit of material to go off of: a glimpse of it through the doorway in one shot, and another view from the hole punched in its wall

It’s probably a pretty small area made for just a bed and a bit of storage space/surfaces, considering the look and placement of it within the layout here as well as just how smaller RV bedrooms are usually made. So while there’s not really enough visuals of it to extrapolate a whole layout like the bathroom, there’s probably not that much stuff in this room in the first place.

We can see what’s likely the end of a bed, and seemingly some sort of table surface with it there…

…as well as, in the other shot, a decorated wall and seemingly a shelf or table surface with a picture frame and other stuff on it (I brightened the pic for visibility but that kind of destroyed the quality)

So that gives a rough idea of it being mostly taken up by the bed, with some sort of thin table/shelf surface further in against the back wall, and maybe also an extra table surface by the footboard of the bed there near the door

With those two rooms mostly figured out, probably as best as we can from the material we’ve got, that solves the two big “mystery areas” of the RV layout and gives us a pretty much complete picture for it!

The only other note would be regarding the vehicle cab (where the driver’s seat and controls are)

I could go into more detail on why exactly I think this, but even just for simplicity’s sake it seems to me that while Elliott’s cab-over bed space was generated as part of their habitation pod on the Centrium, the actual vehicle cab part that would be below it isn’t there anymore due to not being part of the “home area” the tech recreated, and the divider wall that separated it just functions as a regular non-opening wall in the habitation pod now.

So that’s pretty much all I’ve got—most of this is honestly the combined conclusion of YEARS spent looking closely at the environments and design of the show for reference or theory reasons, so I hope you enjoyed the results of my long observations all put together!!

Lately I've come to the conclusion that I am apparently a fan of the "person from the future goes back in time to prevent the apocalypse" trope lmao. I'm pretty sure I already compared CJ to Silver at some point, and TSAU!Leo being a fan of the Sonic franchise would definitely make that comparison. Aside from that I think Donnie would be a Terminator fan because of the whole "evil AI and robots rule the world" thing, and Casey would be a fan of Dragon Ball because it's about a bunch of buff characters fighting and yelling a lot.

Then that got me thinking about how Raph would probably also like Dragon Ball, and that it would be cute if it was specifially Casey that introduced him to the series in the first place. It would also be fucking hilarious if the plan of sending CJ back in time at least partially was inspired by DBZ of all things so that's canon to the AU now hell yeah
