    Are humans/humanoids needed?

    In this instance I mean by humanity that the characters in a story are humans or they are something that looks very similar to humans (vertebrate, with 2 legs, 2 arms and a head filled with brains and sensory organs) and/or behave in a human like way (one could think the owls of Ga'Hoole are...

    Are humans/humanoids needed?

    I agree that the medium we transfer stories with and the capability of human brain to understand somewhat restricts fully alien stories. It's quite hard to imagine even the sensory input of some earthly species, like bees have 5 eyes and can see extra colors. But I also totally agree with...

    You are quite right about that one! But some other effects could be countered (like acid rain) via shelters, going underground, natural resistances, magic shields etc., if someone wants to have natives.

    New Magic System - The Will

    Interesting idea. What I started pondering is is the part of storing of magic into the caster necessary? I came to think that the magic could be like electricity and the caster would then just channel that power to the pattern weaved. If too much magic is channeled at once then the casters inner...

    Dragons in your world?

    I'm currently creating a short story or poem about a hunting trip of a dragon. The dragon in my story is quite classical "the Hobbit" style of dragon. Four limbs + wings. It breaths fire, but not when hunting for food. Fire is reserved for general mayhem and fighting. The dragon is colored in...

    Hello everyone!

    I'm mostly interested in creating graphic novels, but also world building and studying character behavior are close to my heart. English is my second language, so in order to get better at it, any notice of errors or maltreatment of the language is appreciated.
