I've been thinking about setting up a bulletin board or something similar, but I'm struggling to figure out the best approach.
Also, I'm open to any questions, so please feel free to ask.

Sounds good!
I’ve used NodeBB before for similar things (though my personal one is down right now), since it’s easy enough to host for free. I believe it can connect with Misskey and bluesky (though bluesky requires bridgy.fed to work).
For the questions on the setting: I’ve mainly got 2 major ones
- Which demi-human species (elves, dwarves, etc.) are present? Feels like the right kind of setting feature, but I wonder how many becomes too many for a creator to need.
- Would it make sense for portals between worlds to appear/work at rare times? I could easily see that allowing for users to justify new characters within the setting easier, but that may be good or bad, depending on the intended vision.
Thank you. We will consider the idea of a forum for exchanging opinions.
Now, regarding the setting, users are basically free to imagine whatever they like. I've just created a playground, so I think it's fine to let everyone be free. My personal assumption is that both elves and dwarves exist.
Within that, I think the concept of portals is excellent. It has the inclusiveness to connect the original worldviews each creator possesses, and there's no need to be overly sensitive about consistency.
I agree that depending on the intended vision, there could be both positive and negative aspects. However, I think it's best to let everyone proceed freely, embracing that uncertainty as well.
