    Skyrim-Weird, Fantastic, and Epic Moments

    GINGER dragon?? Isn't the term 'ginger' supposed to be a reference to those few of us who are extraordinarily blessed with red hair? If so, then I take umbrage. UMBRAGE, I say!! I've occasioned to the dragons attacking mammoths, and then getting waxed by the giant. P***y dragon. I tried...

    Skyrim 2012

    Playing #Skyrim, I noticed one of the Graybeards looks amazingly like Lee Ermey. You are the Dragonborn, maggot! Oo-rah!

    Building Fantasy World with Real World Geography

    No, this is not based in California; I'm only using the geography because I'm familiar with it. Brawny barbarian king named Arnolf? And I bet he speaks with a think, German accent too. Possibilities! I'm toying with the idea of having orcs in the Wasteland--not necessarily good, but not...

    Building Fantasy World with Real World Geography

    There is a hotel in San Bernardino, called Arrowhead Springs Hotel. It was once the site of Campus Crusade for Christ, and in its heyday brought in a lot of famous people. On the mountain directly behind the hotel is a massive arrowhead shape--totally natural, not man-made. Several Native...

    Skyrim - tell us about your character

    I typically play Nords, mostly because my own heritage is Scandinavian. I like playing Redguards too. A lot of times, it seems I get my character up to the mid teens in levels before I say SCREW THIS! and start over. I thought of playing one game where I support the Stormcloaks, and another...

    What about the mammoths that jump 25 feet in the air?

    Building Fantasy World with Real World Geography

    I've read Stirling's work; good stuff. He also did another called 'Conquistador', which had an alternate California. Of course, most of the rest of the country thinks Cal is in an alternate world, anyway!

    Building Fantasy World with Real World Geography

    Like I said, so far it's small in scope. I don't think I've thought further than the SoCal area. And, no, it's not an actual future Cal, but rather a fantasy world with the same--or close to the same--geography. One time I took some actual topographical maps, and imagined what the coastline...

    Building Fantasy World with Real World Geography

    I've had this thought bouncing around in my head--PING!--to build a world, maybe small in scope, using geography that I am familiar with. Basically, Southern California. I live in the Inland Empire, an area often ignored by Hollywood. I'm wondering what it would look like if I removed all of...

    New kid in town

    I might bake some cookies in my handy dandy toaster oven (can you say BACHELOR?), then kick back and watch 'America's Got Talent', while wondering if the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils tonight.

    Hello From California!

    :eek: Well, I live in the Inland Empire, and those Santa Anas just blow the smog in my face...when they're not blowing so hard they threaten to knock me off of my feet!

    New kid in town

    Hello, everyone! I call myself Linnorm, and I live in Southern California. I love reading fantasy literature, but I've often thought about trying to write a story. I guess that's why I'm here--why any of us is here.
