Asura, I would call the charms to ward off evil spirits a spiritual belief rather than a religion. The whole concept of religion is that it is an organised group believing in the same thing. Like Ophuicha said, you can have spiritual or supernatural beliefs and be completely void of religion...

I actually got it on the 66% sale. I have used the demo before and loved it. Definitely a different way to world build for sure!

Well I spent nearly twenty years inside the Evangelical Christian church, needless to say, my experiences were more on the negative side that positive. But I will keep to the guidelines and try to give the positives about Christianity, especially since I do like hybrid religions in stories...

I agree with skip.knox and ThinkerX, there needs to be motivation to travel along with just the means to. So if you make the mountains in the northwest especially dangerous, and the waters especially hard to traverse, then there goes the means. But in all reality if the motivation is still...

To answer the OP, I would have to say I'm irrevocably the first, I want to be different, I want to do things that people have never written before. Usually my self-esteem gets in the way of that, but I can't write any other way. What makes my writing different? Well I like to create worlds that...

What I consider a mary sue is a "Superman" character. The character that has no character other than saving everyone. Like ndmellen said before me, Richard Rahl was an unbelievable character since the first page. You just knew that whenever he was around there would be no trouble. My suggestion...

Like what TWErvin2 said, the battle itself can be anything but personal. Some of the best stories I have read have been the "right place at the right time" sort of story. (Frodo from LOTR included.) Even if it's a little illogical right away why they were swept up in the war, it can easily...

Although I can't give any advice from my own experience since I like to have only a few characters to switch POV, have you drawn a map? If you have, then stick it on a wall somewhere and create a little sticky note or something for each character. Put them on the map where they are located and...

Folk Tale looks awesome. Just picked FTL and Chivalry yesterday as well, knew I had to get them at some time.

Awesome start, a few delving questions: Is there conflict between Titans and the gods, especially since the seven Immortals incident? I really like the bound patrons, it's interesting to have a deity that is actually bound to a group of people. What happens when two groups under bound deities...

Already got Don't Starve, don't know what else I'm going to get yet

Love the survival part of them, blends in real nice with their view on god. The Nightbringers are a great concept, tons of potential there.

What is the life expectancy for the okers? If it is anything like human or higher would it be a female dominant race (nothing wrong with that)? It gives interesting ideas and options to reverse the roles, having the males having a higher commodity for the sake of only having a "lifespan" for...

When I first got back into writing I felt it so hard to write when I wasn't "in the mood". I would go weeks at a time, never really getting anything done. Recently I found that instead of a word count I find completion goals much more motivating for me. I've been trying to write a short story...

Funny enough I just learnt of the mantis shrimp yesterday and now I know of the pistol shrimp! I love the idea of the natural weaponry of the claw with just one question; does the claw grow with factors such as age, wisdom, or battle prowess? Or does the guard that has shown enough of one of the...
