Greetings!
I uploaded the Mere Anarchy World Builder rules this afternoon. It's available on the downloads page as a 1-page front and back or in a mobile version. The mobile version is bookmarked.
The World Builder consists of a history generator that is inspired by Tolkien's Middle Earth in the sense that history is divided into ages with broad events that shape the world. d66 charts are provided. There is also a historical figures and historical things generator to add details and information. Again, d66 charts are provided. The goal is to provide players with some easy to use charts to randomly generate ideas in order to create a group narrative where they build a world's history - at least the broad strokes...
The second half of the World Builder is a Map Making exercise for creating simple maps with minimal effort. Again, random charts are provided to help focus map making activities.
Both of these systems were offered in the the Far Away Land Tome of Awesome but for Mere Anarchy I wanted a more guided, streamlined system with easy to use charts and faster, more directed play. In play I think the system does what it sets out to do. My experience with a group of a couple imaginative people has been really fun and we have created some cool little stories.
