A lot of this should be guided by the tone you're going for. Functionally many different things can fit and if you have no set idea of what you...
Clearly Vom Tag allows easy access to the pommel so it can be unscrewed and used to end your opponent rightly. This would make it the most...
So since initially posting I've actually read about the subject of the original post and some are seriously disputing the findings, notably an...
Pedantically that's only evidence for contact between Vikings and the Eastern Orthodox church, since the Hagia Sophia was an Orthodox church at...
You can't really have a human conqueror 'forget' how to farm because even if they don't do it themselves they'll just force the people they...
The only weapon I can think of that might match the description is the Chinese flying guillotine but its origins, nature, and use are all pretty...
The Sims? Non-violent? Oh how the denizens of this world would weep if they were to suffer one skerrick, one jot, one iota of the suffering I have...
I don't really get 'hyped' for a number of reasons but to see the sadly barren RTS genre and a franchise I was practically raised on and that...

I actually find the gods you've presented far more interesting as reflections of the people in your world, as examples of how they conceptualise...
Another solution would be to focus on the father instead of the son. Vlad II Dracul would already have to take a different path to power due to...
I noticed you didn't mention culture; how people greet each other on the streets or the proper etiquette when sharing a meal. How people interact...
I'm very much in agreement with Gurkhal. When I'm creating a world I ask myself pretty early on whether or not the divine will play a direct role...
The recent Good Old Games sale sent me on a bit of a tear. I recently finished a Heroes 3 campaign and I'm working my way through a few old school...
Without knowing anything about the setting it's hard to give a specific answer but generally speaking the argument about heat is a bit of a...
I wouldn't so much say I have 'world builder's disease' so much as say that I'm a world builder first and a writer second. World building is just...
Thanks. I've read you're posts before and there were certainly a number of things that read quite familiar to me. Ideally none of us would have...
