Thank you Russ.. Sounds cool with your WIP. If you want me to take a look at something, I am very interested!

Not bad... I like detective plots, but the werewolf twist could be the spice we all know it needs :D

Hello everyone! So after 18 months of intense training, my dog Noah just passed his final test to officially be a first-priority search and rescue dog. (C.1 SAR dog) Puppy pic for easy likes: Noah Pictures, Noah Images, Noah Photos, Noah Videos - Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo...

Aether: Untill 1887, many believed that aether was a thing. A thing/substance that connected all matter. Fun fact attached to this is that Albert. B. Michelson and Edward W. Morley chased this theory and believed it within all of their hearts and in 1887 they proved the theory wrong in the...

I really like these kinds of class-based magic systems. I always read them and cross my fingers, that maybe this time, I will be blessed with a great idea. This one was a good one. Gotta say that. For the comments about the term mana/manna. I just wanna clear up. I have had a year long...

For the Danish part, most are incorrect. Conjurer - Troldmand for men. Troldkvinde for women. Sorcerer - Troldmand for men. Troldkvinde for women. Enchanter - Troldmand for men. Troldkvinde for women. Wizard - Vismand Witch - heks Seer - Spåmand for men. Spåkone for women. Magician -...

I have a good factual answer to this one... I trained my dog to lift groceries back from the store. He just about the size of a wolf, as he is a labrador at 38kg. He can easily carry 3-4kg several kilometers and he can do it very gently. Here are my concerns. A wolf mouth is not big enough to...

I do not know how much you know about genetics, but if you can incorporate a bit of knowledge into your story, then you can have it any way you like it. I can see you get the part with dominant and recessive alleles (inherited traits) and if you get partly dominant, partly recessive alleles you...

Go to the nearest hardware shop and buy a 47' rope. Lay it out in a circle and invite 40 friends. See how many fires you will need to feed your friends.. Pretty sure this is bring out better answers than us forummers do :D

If the book is on the shelf and I like what I see. Maybe I would pay 70$.. When I took my degree I usually paid 100-200$ per book. Can I see some if the illustrations? You say it's good, let us see then :P

You can use the same kind of woods for either one. But since you wish to be so difficult :P Here: yew composite cores...pics in Archery - Composite Bows Forum

If you have the strength, yew is probably one of the best materials for bows. Back in the day, the english folks experimented with yew longbows which could reach had draws up to 180 pounds. Nope. Not bullshit. Warbow, Joe Gibbs, English Warbow Society, 170lb Mary Rose type, Italian self yew. -...

I would be interested in this too :)

I read a story once in a writer's group, where "gifted" could do do all sorts of elemental stuff.. Boil water, light a fireplace, spook the cats and such. And "paragons" could only do ONE thing. But with much more power. Like setting a town on fire or something. Swap out "gifted" with mages and...

Hi there. What a great question. Seems like most people try to avoid sq. miles and hard numbers like so. And I will suggest you to avoid it as well. Although it can be a good thing for an author to know how big the world it. To calculate traveltime and the like. Therefore I give you...
