I've been slowly brainstorming ideas and concepts regarding one of the protagonists that follow my MC on his quest to save the world from utter annihilation. Since the lore of my world focuses on an age that is almost forgotten save for the endeavors of archaeology in this universe. Even then...

I know this will sound all weird at first, but I could see it making a good story possibly. In my dream, I witnessed the missiles drop during the climax of World War III. As one would expect, the earth was now near inhabitable and survivors were forced to band together to keep alive in this...

I will try to explain my world's magic system. Five sentences or less, huh? Here goes. The world has natural energy that flows from within and all around, essentially mana at the core of its being. In order to focus the world's energy into spells and the like, the user will suffer fatigue...

I found this site while looking for ideas on how to write effective and compelling villains entirely by chance. I've always had this notion of writing a fantasy epic for quite some time. I can always appreciate a good role-playing game and have met some with rather bland stories. Now is the...
