    Leaning on the Fourth Wall?

    I would rather read a sarcastic remark or two about what it is she is describing rather than being told it is cliche.

    The Ways of Witchmen

    Preface: I think I will post my worldbuilding notes as portfolios from hereafter, and as what would be a book in a game format as I prefer to worldbuild from an in-world perspective rather than state facts, and this entry will certainly not be safe for work. The Ways of Witchmen by Brother...

    Fantasy Combat! Hagrid vs Gregor =)

    1) You did not even ask for clarification? Interesting. Regardless, recall the chasing part in my comment, which is what Gregor did to Oberyn. If you and your sources want to believe extra mass would not require more energy, you and your sources are welcomed to believe so. 2) Where did I imply...

    Imperial x Metric hybrid a good system?

    You could do that (e.g. a kilopound) but it still possess the annoyance of the Imperial system, the epitome of all that is irrational, that is the horrid multiple units of measurement for one motherflipping quantity! No! I refuse to see 0.3048 metres as one foot. What the fuc... what does that...

    How common are the Unusual people in your setting?(Wizards,Psychics,etc.)

    Wizards are common in my world and I am not sure which criteria of psychic applies. The only psychic ability present is psychokinesis, and they are uncommon, part of the five or so percent of people who possess unusual magical ability. Most people have to be taught magic like any other skill and...

    Flexible Glass

    https://www.technologyreview.com/s/600894/flexible-glass-could-bring-back-the-flip-phone/ I am not sure how to conceptualize it to a sword, however, as I did not read in detail the information in the link... but I sure as heck directed you to it :p

    How in-depth is your worldbuilding?

    My problems with the book are it does not have examples in the chapters and does not have correct answers in the back. No odd numbers... nothing! And even though it says advanced, the material does not require a physics or mathematics degree as it is an undergraduate textbook, a textbook with...

    How in-depth is your worldbuilding?

    I aim to be accurate with mundane matters, save for exceptional things, of course. Sudano-Sahelianesque architecture will not be found in my tropical or temperate regions unless someone had more money than sense of utility. No one will be domesticating large carnivorous animals or growing dates...

    A lack of cursing

    I found that article annoying. Not cringe worthy or raged inducing, just annoying. Like... hella mad fails at trying to edify me. If one's reason to refuse writing a particular way is because of the way they were raised, I will question their ability to write about things in opposition to the...

    Fantasy Combat! Hagrid vs Gregor =)

    It has to do with reality (which makes my comment rather meaningless and just plain pedantic as the thread is not a critique of fantasy realism), a perspective gained by having some practice with Olympic wrestling and extrapolating that into a situation involving sharpened metal bars and foot...

    Internet Friends

    Oddly enough, I have communicated online with relatives and fellow students far less than with one person I know only because of a six year old reply to a comment on a YouTube video I do not even remember, but I have not spoken with her in a few years; she returned to Facebook (I finding out by...

    Variablity in Depiction of Fantasy Races

    The comments are aligned with my thoughts. I had the mind to call them something else but was worried if readers I do not have would impose their idea of elves on them. I decided to call them something else as they are similar only in being like an Elder Race, and it might be more trouble to...

    Variablity in Depiction of Fantasy Races

    Being the model of modesty that I am, I did not want to bestow upon this website my brilliant handle of necromancy with so few paradigm changing posts and figured this is a suitable location for my inquiry. So, as the title states, I am having a bit of a conundrum regarding fantasy races...

    Fantasy Combat! Hagrid vs Gregor =)

    Gregor, and only because Hagrid is not giving the weapon to which he is accustom. In reality, both would be lumbering targets.
