    How would you handle regional monsters?

    You should have the piece use the original cardboard cutouts.

    Worldbuilidng formula and web building technique.

    I used a concept about topography, ecology, and theology, for a while, seemingly flipping it over, making the facts simple and obvious whilst the natural world around, a kind of mystery. I thought about it, and trees and dirt could not be more simple, right? But if you get into fact, there is...

    The Fallen – Let's Build This World Together

    It sounds interesting. Are you going to include the DND type scenarios, or are they going to move aside for a pantheon of other creatures? It looks like the table has been set for a patina of ideas that are generally accepted as tropes, but that is where the main fantasy ends, in a more high...

    Fantasy, Adventure, and Existentialism

    Existential musings are great, a mouse with a sword, greater than perhaps the existential musings... A toss up between the sword or the quill sometimes, but at other times an avid connoisseur. Maybe the world domination thing has got a little weak, but plenty still on the team, with their...

    Robin Hobb used Sa and Satrap, and they were living it up another country.

    HOW TO HANDLE BETRAYAL

    I think the brother has more lofty ideals keeping his family alive, if there is any villainy at play. It is possible the wives are kin or estranged. The two brothers are likely to side with the elder brother in some biblical tirade. The first thing the elder brother is halt his descent into...

    1,000 normal sized Turkeys or One GIANT chicken?

    Giant chicken versus 1000 zerglings?

    Vampires (Customized Lore)?

    There are a lot of superstitions that rely on folklore. Troll under the bridge, fairy circles, some love riddles.

    Be honest, how good at 'doing the deed' are your fictional characters?

    Furries do sex better, even slash, in my opinion. There is the classic seduction of warriors and bards that always has me egging them on. A vast library of books about Greek gods do sex and violence together in a harmonious hedonism. Coming back to the issue of sex, there is a fine line to...

    How do you keep dread alive when nothing scary is happening yet?

    This is a good way to start any story. Sensory input is all a word really is, imagination floats in your mind. I am inspired by small musical interludes, where there is something mysterious yet pervasive. Change in direction or mood can elicit results that are mysterious yet pervasive.

    Feedback for my worldbuilding and magic system

    Because the chasms were meant to be explored in the book, I was wondering if there was a connection to a time before. The farmers of this land would have a religion of some kind would not they, in that case there may be a higher order than that they have a secret society that preaches...

    Feedback for my worldbuilding and magic system

    Is this the readers of the Corgenna, like a nativity for the ones who will do the farming, not in the pursuit of the shadow arts? It seems to me that Umbramancy is a thing, which contains elements of the Corgenna, but not blindfolded by a lack of knowledge. I assume the Corgenna, to be a book...

    Feedback for my worldbuilding and magic system

    So it is an apple falls far from the tree scenario or the opposite an apple does not fall far from the tree. I am thinking the chasms got to be some form of evil where the sunlight escapes or is not present. Is it like the polarity got to exercise its will before creation was a thing? Is it more...

    Feedback for my worldbuilding and magic system

    I would like to know of their father Azelcor, and if he exists beyond a world of earth and soil. Do the brothers have a battle that spans across the folk of their world, or do they battle in only one plotline.

    Feedback for my worldbuilding and magic system

    I like how Umbramancy has ties to logic, but I do not see where it originates from. There are properties to the base elements, but the duopoly of their powers confuses. When you have one you have another, but how could you extract one and put another in its place? I suppose it is fantasy, though...
