    Apocalyptic events.

    One of my current stories has suffered a couple. Had at least one Fantasy setting set post apocalypse. Though the current one has suffered at least two, with several other catastrophes along the way. The first was less brimstone and fire (it got there, via nuclear exchanges), but more a slow...

    Flowers among the bones. A nice picture of winter going and spring coming.

    How can I make an unlikable protagonist likable?

    One of the biggest things is to have someone far worse as the antagonist. And having them be, well, not quite as terrible. Sure, Jack's a thief and pirate, but he's freed slaves (at least in the EU, I believe) and does have lines he doesn't cross. Which is another thing to have with the...

    Gods and Deities interference in your world

    Well, one of my fantasy worlds the gods (and demons), were put into a non interference clause after a massive war against the undead that pretty much everyone was at fault for more or less causing the apocalypse. Granted, they are tied on the honor system and the fact some of the mortals can...

    A celebration of FANTASY FOOD

    Easy, it's where all food topics eventually lead in such places. If all is meat and the monsters eat it, nothing is off the menu.

    So, that's what the gingerbread man really is.

    A celebration of FANTASY FOOD

    Oh, so much. Brian Jacques always seemed to have some of the grandest feasts in his books and I always remember those. As for my own? Though my current work has plenty. Given it mostly set in the tropics, there's all sorts of curries, heavily spiced meats and sweet fruits, rice, a blood wine...

    What Are You Playing Now?

    Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Not even out of the prologue yet, but it's pretty insane already. So, par the usual for the setting.

    What IRL cultures have inspired you in worldbuilding?

    I lean heavily towards the equatorial and south of the equator cultures, heavily from Africa and some from South America and places like Thailand and other island nations and India too. A big part of it comes from the fact I love the spicy foods from those parts of the world and have always...

    Best areas for "surviving fossils"

    Not sure what you're aiming at with the living fossils bit, but why not just roll with The Lost World standard or just plop what prehistoric animals you need for your setting into it? Even with living fossils, they have also changed, but they don't always need to change that much because they...
