    Hello

    Impressive. Most Star Trek fans equate that to being fans of the Federation. It's nice to see some diversity.

    Hello

    I believe both answers are acceptable. :)

    Big, slow fighters with training?

    I'm a big guy, not exactly slow when I fight but I'm definitely not one of the "zippy" ones. I'm built for comfort, not for speed. Anyway, the best way to combat "zippy" fighters is with good, no, GREAT defense. Let them wear themselves out then move on for the kill. Having a great defense will...

    Best New Critters

    Hi, Actually, some of the humanoid races of that world use The Drindox as a rite of passage of sorts. Orcs in particular will send young males into Drindox herds so they can attempt to ride one for a certain distance or for a certain amount of time. Being able to dismount and get away intact is...

    Hello

    Greetings, Or I should say NuqneH. (Let's see how big of a star Trek fan you are.) Welcome. Thanks for joining us here. Sorry for my tardiness. I somehow overlooked your post. I must have fallen asleep on the Fairie mound again. What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    Opinion about swords?

    It is possible to have a variety of different swords in a world and even within a relatively small geographical area. For example, in a world I created, I have a large, port city which is also the capital of the kingdom. It is surrounded by peasant farmland. To the West, the land rises into...

    Dual swords + their weaknesses

    I think the answer to the question of duel swords depends on history vs fantasy and time period and culture when it comes to history. If you are looking at accounts from the official fighting lists of Europe, you won’t find much before the 1600s. But, we need to understand that these types of...

    Best New Critters

    I have several but the only one I can easily find is this one: Drindox- A large, horse-like animal, roughly the size of a Clydesdale. It has sharp, cloven hooves and very sharp, pointed teeth. Their eyes have slit irises, similar to a goat. They are carnivorous and group together in herds but...

    Pony and Bologna rhyme

    We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. Then one fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese, You may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice...

    Empire City

    I have as few casual observations based on what is here and I'll need to make a few assumptions which may not be accurate. Population: Originally the city was designed to have a max population of 5 million. I'm assuming that since most of the manual labor was designed to be in the down levels...

    Dual swords + their weaknesses

    I have fought duel sword so I know a bit. Historically, There isn't really anything before the late 1500s and it deals more with fencing then actual sword fighting. Most historical forums will say that duel weapon fighting wasn't practical unless the off hand weapon was considerably smaller than...
