SD.net World is a role playing thread started by Zor, originally created as a RAR! thread. It was similar in nature to several other sucsessful RAR! threads in which SDNet members would be transported to alternate worlds, dimensions, or points in history and given a certain limited set of resources to start with. In this thread, each established and non-banned SD.net board member was given command of his/her own nation, the size and resources of which were based primarily on post count and/or titles or status.

The "SDNet World" has undergone at least three different phases so far. The first phase was the raw RAR thread in Off-Topic, which was subsequently moved to the Games/STGODs forum and partially reborn in a more structured manner. After that storyline ended in a nuclear war, it went on a temporary hiatus until it saw its third rebirth as a far more structured and rules-oriented STGOD.
