Sometimes I have weird dreams. Sometimes I still remember them when my alarm clock jolts me awake. Here is a dream of mine, feel free to comment and share yours too. City of Art: A wide open public square. Innocent bystanders lost their minds and lined up in a cross formation...

To me, your classification of soul is reminiscent of ego, id, and superego as well as an age long dispute of what is human nature by chinese philosophers. Kudos for trying to tackle some very interesting, deep and philosophical stuff here. You probably already heard of ego/id/superego so I'll...

The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based tactical strategy game with a high fantasy theme. Battle for Wesnoth Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host whom none can stand against! Choose...

I think you are referring to the term "interlinguistics" and "language contact". Interlinguistics methods include but are not limited to: - Gestures (sign languages) - Writing (ie. drawings-pictogram, glyphs) - Spoken (pattern recognition, etc.) - Observation (observe what people say in certain...

If an immortal does not also own an indestructible body: 1. You could chop him up and have him rest eternally in pieces. 2. Modify his body in other ways such as fusing him with an animal, into to inanimate object or material. If the body does not have healing powers: 1. You could...

P.S. (can't edit post anymore. ??) Since plants and animals could all have circadian rhythm, one could potentially tell time by seeing what animals are out and about or the appearance of special plants (such as one that blooms at midnight and fades before dawn).

Technically, time telling is possible without visual cues at night. For example, in the human body, the pineal gland produces melatonin that plays a part in the dictation of circadian cycle (internal clock, though it's slightly off by an hour or two without external stimuli), while cortisol also...

To me, archmages are mages that practice the magic of arches. Arch magic appeared as early as 2nd millennium BC when the concept of magic itself was still in infancy. Though seemingly a docile magic form, as many archmages now work in the construction field, arch magic can be a powerful weapon...

Dimensional distortion device: Flashes a gigantic area out of existence into a nearby dimension, where the laws of physics is entirely different, hence instantly disintegrates the transported into subatomic particles. Remote detonation, of course. Just an idea.

Interesting, the Grecians? I only tried to make it sound like "gryphons", any suggestions? Thank you for your support, these two nations will eventually become playable factions. There will eventually be other factions of dwarves, humans, elves, and other beings... to populate this map...

Since "black holes" is a popular name for black holes, which could lead to misunderstandings, maybe something like "void" could be used as replacement. I asked out of curiosity because it seemed like a game set-up, no other reasons.

That black-hole thing seems fairly overpowered. A race with knowledge to control something like that most likely can control every aspect of our current known universe. Unless that's your intention. A race like that would probably also see the surface dwellers like ants, who are not even worth...

I find Laziness sometimes the best way to overcome "writer's block". Sometimes it's reading other creative works, lazily. But sometimes laziness just leads to more laziness. :D

Some races I've been planning for a campaign project: Grycians: A mountainous gryphon rider tribe. • Geography: Though centered in mountainous areas due to the location of gryphon breeding grounds, they are found roaming far beyond reaches of the mountains. The Grycians lay no claim to land...
