    Name for a substance

    What about matter? Unless I'm mistaken, dark matter is everywhere and nowhere. :)

    Stock Fantasy Races

    If you feel comfortable using 'stock' fantasy races, then by all means use them. It's your story after all! I'd just give them a little twist.

    Do these Kingdoms sound original and whats your opinion on them?

    Then the first that'll pop in my head will be: 'sounds like Pentos from GoT' :)

    The raw basics of magic.

    I recently saw the movie 'Tales of the Earthsea' where knowing somebody true name grants you something in return. Out of curiosity, could it be that you got your inspiration from there? kr, vara

    Name for power

    I'm Belgian(dutch speaking). My opinion would be to go for naevo. Not because navo could stand for NATO but because I prefer the sound of naevo more.

    My newest world

    They are minions of the Great Other. But there is a different between the wights and the White Walkers/Others.

    Yes, another magic thread...

    I have to agree that I like your system aswell. But I have to ask, how is somebody capable of practicing magic, as in the source?

    Dealing with corpses in winter?

    In your world, are there any animals that are worshipped? You could give the corpse to this revered creature. Sounds like a win-win for me. You get rid of the body and the animal gets fed. Potentionally, you could be worshipping a god.

    The Witcher 2 - any good?

    Just like Phil I'm a huge fan of the books. In fact, they inspire me. I loved the first game and I simply adore the second. Yes Skyrim is great, but TW2 is a beast. I'm looking forward to the 3rd which in my opinion will be a mix of both. Simply put: awesome! Personally, TW2 is the best game...

    Interesting Magic Systems

    Ah ok, in that way. Now I must admit that I haven't thought about it(AIDS). But then again... isn't it a good that people are emotionally engaged in something? With the most respect to people who suffer from a fatal disease, ofcourse. Technically, I was thinking in a different direction. Males...

    Helpful Worldbuilding Tool (Perhaps?)

    This is really nice. I was working on a script to generate my secondary characters. I'm adapting it now so I can export to an edited version of yours. Thanks!

    Interesting Magic Systems

    In my world, magic is an illness that you get by getting infested with a virus, think rabies. As such, certain animals are hunted and killed so nobody can get infested. Once you are infested, you know you'll die soon.(months to years), but it is coming. It is possible to lengthen your lifespan...

    I need a simple test for magic ability.

    True, but then again... it is a good way to detect an ability. Think about Highlander: Connor only realised he was immortal when he died(boatscene).

    Recommend me a graphic novel/comic

    Hello, I'm looking into getting some graphic novels or comic books. However, I'm not really well-known in the genre. I'm looking for something in preferably a medieval setting. For instance, I've read a few issues of Northlanders and I liked it. Same goes for Red Sonya, Durandal, De Lemen...
