Remember to include little human touches in your work so that it breathes. Random bits of humour. Rude or angry graffiti. Kids playing with a rock.

Bien qu'ils n'emploient jamais ce genre de termes, les Elfes tolèrent leur usage dans un cadre scientifique. Certains parviennent même à s'en amuser. Après tout, ils reposent sur des critères archaïques, évoqués uniquement dans les chroniques, les archives et certaines académies conservatrices du Royaume de Verre.
Par prudence, évitez de les qualifier de Sylvestris, de Marestris ou de Nevistris, à moins de chercher à dessein la rancune d'un enfant de Cetra.

  • basically this is only half true. Ash can register heat and pressure changes, inside the ship and outside, her skin/hull is basically a living biorganic metal fungi. An unexpected byproduct of the genetic research on making Talithi & Humans compatible with each other or at least, let them live in one room together, without intoxicating the other to death, so far at least the group Samaras Tears can report baby steps.

1/27/24 Many worlds have magical/exceptional minerals and metals. Mithril , tilkal and galvorn from Tolkien, adamantine (and adamantium) from Greek myth, DnD, and Marvel, etc. What such materials exist in your world? Who uses them? What do they do?

Your character likes to read. What is it about your world that makes that difficult? (Please feel free to substitute how your world makes it difficult for your character to to whatever it is they like)

Mid-Week Lashunta Inspiration
The two statues are Ming Dynasty representations of Guan Yin. I'm a little less certain on the origin or reference with the live model, but I found it an intriguing comparison with the other two.

Having grown up and been inculcated in the Euro-American cultural paradigm, it's easy to forget there are strong cultural sources from all over the world. I find it important to look for inspiration in them.

This week's blog post:
Five Keys to Writing Animal Characters

Yes, I put a lot of thought into this, & I'm not talking about background animals like the dog in the corner or the cat on the lap.

For me, it's a blend of character creation techniques & worldbuilding.

Some time ago I decided to surprise my group with a map. I have never drawn a map (other than dungeons or battle maps) but hey, I'm an illustrator, I'm sure I can do it. So I did. The next step is to colour it but I'm proud of myself. What do you think, are they gonna like it?

In honor of my fiftieth birthday (It's time to go on an adventure!)
How do people celebrate birthdays, in your setting, if they do? All on the same day of the year? On the day they actually are born? Do they receive gifts?Do they give them, like hobbits?

Does your fantasy setting include firearms? Why not? Given that the tech used to make full plate and rapiers came after we'd been using guns for a while, what happened to keep folks from using gunpowder in your world? If you want to be more in line with history, you need to explain the lack of firearms more than their presence.

The 22nd chapter of my hard is released! This is another long chapter. Most importantly, a lot of important happens here! Most of the nations described here will be very important to future books and the later chapters of this book. But there are also some insights into what relmai culture is like, for those who (as recommended) are starting with this book.

Prompt 1/12/24
What kind of games do they play in your setting? Do they have chess? Poker? Holochess? Their own card games, their own roleplaying games even? How do they pass the time in camp before sleep, or in the evenings after work? Everyone has leisure activities...what do people in your setting do?

From Skimmer by Iodren:

“Few could teach one to swing a sword like the legendary Skimmer. While not a great fighter himself due to his physical ailments, he’d studied the art all his life.

He was known for the “Kingmaker” with his pupils…”

Some Union core calues:

  • The Honor of a being is untouchable unless it has proven otherwise.

  • The Union will protect every being that wishes for protection or needs them to ensure it's evolution goes without external interference.

  • Associated/Core Member Worlds and population are equal to outside Union existing ones.

  • The natural evolution has to be protected unless it endangers others in their natural evolution (case evaluations needed).

#PennedPossibilities 18 MC POV: Tell us about a time you had to let go of something you loved or wanted.

Kira: "Dad & mum as they died, my dad as he died. I lost contact to my mum. Tanja as she went away. Anika as she went M.I.A. No I don't think she is dead.
It feels different more like with mum not with the others. I know it in my guts."

  • Ramscheid was the driving force behind the Remscheid Theory Drive (RYDE)
    He found a solution for the problems the with the Alcubierre Metric by, simply spoken, pushing the engine out of our universe.
    Basically creating a "virtual/artifical" subspace in a time/space rift.
    The Story why the A/E shift happened has many myths one of them states that his wife had a read/spelling problem and that he later changed his name to make it easier for her.
