{`Terasology's`} engine uses a whitelisting approach to expose
158-
an API for modules using two primary methods and a rarely needed
159-
third one:
166+
From the ground up, Terasology was built to be very modular and
167+
support different kinds of gameplay ideas. We still host a large
168+
number of modules under the {`"Terasology" `}GitHub organization
169+
providing basic and advanced gameplay content as well as world
170+
generation options and technical libraries.
171+
</p>
172+
<p>
173+
Combining these modules allows to create very different kinds of
174+
gameplay in our voxel worlds. The possibilities are manifold and
175+
range from crafting- or trading-oriented survival over
176+
capture-the-flag to puzzle-style experiences and tower defenses.
177+
</p>
178+
<p>
179+
We especially appreciate expertise or interest in UI/UX, world
180+
generation or well-thought out gameplay mechanics, but also
181+
always have an open ear for crazy ideas for existing or new
182+
modules and gameplay content.
