    Creating a Monotheism

    I'll just pop this in here but what I think I have so far is this: 5 warriors were stranded in the middle of a vast desert with no direction on how to escape, no food, and little water. They wandered for three days before seeing the face of a god which gave them all the means of escape but they...

    Use of Real names for Things for second world Fantasy

    There are loads of really great ideas and interpretations in this thread and I absolutely love it! As many have mentioned before, there is something to be said for having certain things written with common everyday words. There is no need for you to redefine a spoon or find a new word for it...

    What would prevent growing minions as cannon fodder from being an alternative to hiring henchmen?

    I suppose this all depends on your theoretical perspectives on free will.

    AHHH!! no free time to think and write

    I always keep a notepad next to me as I am doing homework or work at home. Where I struggle is I work as a hairstylist and when an idea strikes as I'm cutting hair I have no way to jot it down. It drives me absolutely crazy! When I am working on schoolwork I always take the time to write down...

    Creating a Monotheism

    I hadn't even factored magic into the equation yet! Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. Thank you as well for giving me so much information on different branches of Christianity, I had no idea about the sect in Japan. That is fascinating and I will definitely be looking more...

    Creating a Monotheism

    These are a lot of really great questions to chew on! I don't have answers to many of these yet but I do know that there are multiple versions of it. I had in mind there was a group of original prophets (possibly 5) that eventually parted ways and spread the religion to different parts of the...

    Creating a Monotheism

    I don't think it would be a Crystal Dragon Jesus scenario. I didn't know there was a specific phrase for this kind of literary trope so thank you for educating me on that point. I had an idea that there are multiple original prophets that traveled in a group before going their separate ways and...

    Creating a Monotheism

    I am currently creating a world. It doesn't yet have a name and the structure is vague; I have no idea what I am doing with it but there is something I find myself struggling with as I move forward. I find myself drawn to creating a monotheistic religion as a central piece for a culture within...

    How would the midwife know?

    From what I understand I think you have what you need medically to make things work. Several methods have been presented that you can use as a test for this character that could be administered by a midwife. It might be interesting to establish some sort of ritual that only a midwife would be...

    Looks like I won't be able to write my martial arts story afterall :(

    Perhaps consider using a specific form of martial arts as a base and making an "underground" version of the art form? That would leave you room to add or subtract elements as you see fit to incorporate them into your story but would also leave room incorporate real elements of martial arts into...

    Figuring Out the Lightning Plane

    I am absolutely enchanted with this whole concept. When reading through your initial post my first thought was something of an image that I thought I might share to see if it might give you some inspiration. You had said that the gravitational pull is mostly similar to that of Earth but it could...

    I look forward to working with you

    Hello there! My name is Mia and I am pleased to make your acquaintance. I have always been interested in worlds of fantasy and have engaged in roleplay forums in the past. Although I love playing as various characters I have always found that, in my roleplays in particular, worldbuilding is...
