    Animated skeletons and suspension of disbelief

    Do you need to 'explain' how skeletons exist? Is it explicit that the world is low on magic? Could it be something that, even though the people in this world don't believe in magic, the skeletons just exist? As Cupofjoe mentioned, you already have dragons, so I don't care about skeletons or...

    What if the World is Flat, and the actual Centre of the Universe

    Endless featureless land/sea, that is no edge.

    What if the World is Flat, and the actual Centre of the Universe

    That is a big problem with this world, as much as I like its concept. How to use/describe cardinal points. If I go for a arc-patern, instead of going straight over the world's diameter, East would be the rising point of the sun during the summer of the southernmost lands, but on the northern...

    hooray to magic systems

    Expansion and Tweaks The initial concept does sound really nice (to me at least), however, I'm having trouble exploring this, it is way too limited. So, magic would have to be 'learnable'. Kind of. Besides demi-magi beasts (more on it bellow), certain stones (e.g.: rubies, sapphires)...

    hooray to magic systems

    Something to think about it. For that, I thank you. Now, demi-magi only occur in the death/destruction/creation of a Mage, not by using artefacts. And since that is a power difference between human mage and animal mage (part of the power is expend in making the animal a sentient creature), the...

    hooray to magic systems

    This is the sketch of the magic system for my flat-world-centre-of-universe setting. In here, magic does exist, but instead of wizards casting fireballs, clerics divining the future, etc; it can only be used to augment human 'capacity'. Magic cannot be learnt, and is sole property of Mages...

    Anybody care to share their map?

    Maps are not my favourite part of world-building, is the actual reason why I do any world building at all, just so I can create Maps! I made this post on the art section of the forum, an in-progress development of a major city. I also made this regional map using Inkarnate.

    Map Making on MS Paint

    Regardless if the landmarks are pre-made or not, it is still a lot of work. So, well done. Also, neat coastline you got there.

    Tollbridge - First Settlement

    Coming back to play D&D, I also returned to play with campaign cartographer. Because of it's large resolution, and large size, I won't place the image directly in here, rather I will have to post a link of its post on DeviantArt here. Also, as Campaign Cartographer is notorious for its...

    Why would my empire be a military power?

    I believe that the answer is in the question: the empire is threatened by no one because of it's strong and well organised military power. Any country/kingdom/empire vast enough to encompass a multitude of cultures will be at constant risk of internal conflicts. One group will always get the...

    World Building - The Struggle was Real

    Looking at your photos I just realise how a seemly durable digital storage can be 'outdate' by far older technology. I wonder if you were able to read whatever is in the floppy disk, for they will simply stop working and their drivers are a very rare sight nowadays. As for me, the closest...

    What if the World is Flat, and the actual Centre of the Universe

    Simple and very effective. I can't press "thank you" enough times on your reply. Not excessively large. Probably in the end less than our own. It is fantasy. And in no moment the 'laws of nature and physics' would be explored by characters. Why do I bother thinking about this stuff then...

    What if the World is Flat, and the actual Centre of the Universe

    I might have misused the word revolution. That is a regular day-cycle, as much as it is our own. Plus a cycle around the world regarding the sunrise and sunset.

    What if the World is Flat, and the actual Centre of the Universe

    Pretty much would be two sets of season per full cycle. A 'summer' when the sun is arising at your location and then again when it is setting, half-cycle later. The initial idea is for the sun to always cross the centre. I fully understand the impossibility in drawing from real-life...

    What if the World is Flat, and the actual Centre of the Universe

    hello people (being so long I haven't come here I nearly forgot the web address) I've being toying with the idea of a flat world, which is not new at all, with a plus of being the actual centre of the universe. The sun and moon does circle around it, but in a twisted way (unheard for me at...
