Re: Useful Links
That seems a bit too brief a rundown of character archetypes to be all that useful. Besides which I'm not sure that intentionally basing your characters on archetypes is a good idea, I thought the idea was that they came up spontaneously. PS: If I've misinterpreted you I'm sorry and please ignore th...

Re: [RPG]Fantasy O1World
There is a problem with Esthino on the map. Kamin has a super industrial nation (unless he does some much needed dumbing down), but Hevarr is from a North where tribes fight each other. How is that compatible? Well, there's various ways you can sort that out, but might I put forward my own suggesti...

Re: [RPG]Fantasy O1World
Kamin, from your opening description of your nation you don't even need superweapons, don't you have a corps of 500 super-magi who can flatten whole cities? They pretty much constitute a superweapon already without anything else. And it's not the same as just having a really big army, with an army y...

Re: Post your bad and silly ideas!
Please, Heretic, watched shojo anime. Many people have lizards in fantasy but they never really seem to pay much attention to them, they're usually not even a major threat, there's just a "jungle of the Lizardmen" somewhere. Even in Warhammer where they made them dinosaur-riding aztec-liza...

Re: Post your bad and silly ideas!
Many years ago I watched Card Captors (shutup) and also saw Princess Mononoke , and these two things fermented in my brain until I got the idea of making a series where three beast gods (giant, intelligent animals of supernatural durability and power) came into our world from another realm ruled by ...

Re: [RPG]Fantasy O1World
Unfortunately, being barbarians they might not appreciate the implausibility of it, as they are uneducated and know nothing of meteorology. The fact that the Ring probably is, as they would suspect, just created by the will of Storm Draggins, is neither here nor there. Is anyone chiefly in charge of...

Re: Official Movie Review Thread
Well, the last movie I saw was Prince Caspian , which I thought was actually rather good. I haven't seen the first one and I didn't read the Narnia books as a child, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, which is good. Plot in one sentence: Evil conquistadores conquer Narnia, true heir t...

Re: [RPG]Fantasy O1World
Yes! You do not know how long I have waited for something like this to come up, I just have to decide how to amalgamate the maelstrom of fantasy concepts in my mind into something satisfactory. Also I'd be happy to help making the geography more interesting ;) By the by, if the Line of Storms goes a...

Re: Post your bad and silly ideas!
I would love to see a metafuturistic fantasy setting, like Jesus Christ Superstar. No, not the crappy new one, but the kickass 70's one. I would really love to see that happen. I call dibs. That's my world to create, not yours. GTFO. I would love to see a metafuturistic fantasy setting, like Jesus ...

Re: Long Abscence Thread.
You may not have noticed but I have already been the last week or so away in Mexico, land of ruined Mayztecan pyramids, crushing urban poverty, beautiful colonial city centres, breathtaking scenery, corrupt governments, strange animals and much, much more.
I´ll be back in a few weeks with pictures.

Re: Notes and Stuff
I'd forgotten about the Starchitects (they even have tentacles and everything...) but if you want a weird godlike entity with inscrutable motivations how about using the intelligent paralell universe someone in the Bad/Silly Ideas thread suggested?

Re: Post your bad and silly ideas!
I think the idea of trying to escape the narrative structure of the Logical World makes sense if you don't assume they're trying to do it physically but, as Ford said, to usurp the position of the Dreamer. If you think about it it would be as if you imagined a character for a story, but for some rea...

Re: Post your bad and silly ideas!
That is truly barbaric, sir. No sapient should have to sit still and pay attention to a Neelix centered episode, let alone (ugh) Threshold, in order to tap into the power of magic. Of course, a part of me would actually like to see this play out just for the hillarity of seeing wizards slowly succu...

Re: The Book Thread
I have just finished An Utterly Impartial History of Britain, or; 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge by John O'Farrel. It's a cool book and not as much of a Socialist Menace as the title makes it sound, a very accessible introduction to the history of Britain, though not all that detailed an...

Re: Goddamn OZes
Hai guyz, I survived the wreck (though the old ship still exists, strange). So you may have to deal with my loathesome, uncontributive presence in the future, and you thought you were safe! Ha!
I'll go now.
