    blog Creating a Fictional Religion

    Yup I spent a crazy amount of time thinking of Religion in my current setting. You see a lot of people seem to miss one signifficant thing about rellgions and magic in a fantasy setting. In a world where Gods are real... religion is science In a world where magic is real... magic is science So...

    Holy shit mate. You are a genious. I have to completelly rework how I use religions. It should not just be a visual backdrop but an integral part of characterisation.

    blog Creating a Fictional Religion

    In my world I use existing religions and twist them around. Judaism, Christianity, Buddism and Shintoism have their equivalents and there is also the Church of the Eternal Fire.

    I think you need a lore-reason for renaming the days.

    Hello there!

    I also love fantasy (but. also Sci-Fi). Though for some reason I can't force myself to like books, it just always annoys me how I don't know how the protagonist looks untill a certain point in the story. I often imagine him/her in a certain way and later I have to change it because the author...

    Does anyone NOT write very character driven fiction anymore?

    Sure. I am the one misconstruing the others points. Sure I am the one misconstruing the other's points. Says the person who rewrote my comment so it sounds more pleasant to them.

    Does anyone NOT write very character driven fiction anymore?

    "You seem to be unable to comprehend the possibility that one can write good characters AT THE SAME TIME that one writes a good plot and setting." WRONG. I do. I clearly said that worldbuilding and Plot are the cherry on top. Also "balanced" assumes that you can't have a great plot + characters...

    -_- No, you can't write any good work of fiction if you plan on having shit characters and an interesting story. A "fantasy world encyclopedia" won't be interesting. Please don't say "fix" when all you did was try to delegitimaze statements you disagree with.

    Does anyone NOT write very character driven fiction anymore?

    Interesting/Good characters are the most important part of any fiction. Good worldbuilding and Plot are just a cherry on top. Example: Shingeki no Bahamut It has a very bad/average setting and a mediocre plot. But the character interactions and personal growth are what makes the series great...

    Pre-NaNoWriMo Worldbuilding progress (related to previous post)

    The Worldbuilding I made was not originally planned to be for NaNoWriMo. Only today I decided to participate. *Achtung! If you are interesting in reading my story later don't read this. Because spoilers!* 1. Physics The world uses a specyffic model of physics. "Atoms" are made out of maseless...

    Half Off

    Well I would say Orcs rarely go beyoned looking human. Always human shaped with minor differences like: 1. Facial features 2. Skin color 3. Culture 4. Intelligence 5. Teeth Except the teeth part all those are differences which exist/existed in human races. I'd treet any fantasy race which is...
