    What makes you demotivated to not continue a series anymore?

    Technical Debt. It's usually thought of as being a programming thing, but it applies to creative endeavors too. Decisions you make early on in the creative process result in tiny little interests over a period of time that would eventually take more of your time and effort to correct or...

    House of Card Games

    GOD DAMNIT IMMA GONNA MAKE ONE TONIGHT I firmly believe it isn't designing card games that is hard, it's finding tools TO design card games. On that note, Magic Set Editor is great, it can be modified with custom templates, includes a robust keywording and shortcutting system ready to use out...

    House of Card Games

    I agree with everything you've said, which is why I want this discussion. The Boys and Watchmen are responses to the state of DC's universe at the time either comic was conceived, which is why I feel like this discussion is necessarily happening too late in this process for your aforementioned...

    I'm adding something to this; If anyone knows of any fanfics made in the space of some TCG lore or 2D fighting game lore, please link me so I can see what people have done with it I'm not talking about the Kaiba smut fics. I know. I know about Kaiba's blue-eye'd white dragon. I know.

    If you had a choice, would you transmigrate into your novel?

    For an alternative to my previous answer, NO, because my authorial knowledge would upset the delicate ecosystem I believe makes it interesting. This goes for all of my fics bar one, the one that I would only go to if I can keep my authorial powers.

    The Best Magic

    A spell the author included offhandedly as a matter of cool world-building... That also just so happens to be completely Ex-Nihilo matter creation in a setting that places a big emphasis on magic needing to get 'fuel' somehow. Looking at you, every single author that includes a spell to create...

    So. Let's have a nuanced(highly niche and boring) discussion of interesting(it was irrelevant years ago) genre takes, satirical, parodical, or otherwise. In particular, I want to bring up two things; Watchmen and The Boys. Let's start with a poll to determine who I'm talking to here. Both are...

    If you could have dinner with your MC, would you?

    Yes. Doesnt matter which one I'm talking about the answer is yes. I've watched Re:Creators. I want to hear if they'd like their stories changed.

    What did you learn today?

    That my D&D group will adopt/kidnap literally anything to be a part of their adventuring party. It does not matter what it is. They will try. And they will be very upset if I say no. The list so far: Random Sentient Skeleton (In the party) Goblin (they have declared they will try when they find...

    Have you ever looked back at a chapter you wrote, look at its quality and think "what the fucking shit is this" "which abomination wrote this"

    By contrast, I had a few days where I was looking back and had to say: "Damn, they speak like they're undead. How do I remember how to do that?"

    When should an OP character fail?

    Depends on the way someone is OP. "Monstrously Overleveled/Overgeared/Overstatted" = Any situation wherein none of these actually help should be a failure. "Astronomical amounts of pure bullshit/cheats" = Here's a rule you can't break, circumvent, or undermine. A limitation that cannot be...

    The Hard to Soft Magic Spectrum

    TL;DR Hard Magic is generally 'strictly better' if you are willing to put in the effort and are capable of pulling it off, but poses unique challenges Soft Magic will simply never experience in exchange for being 'strictly worse'. The strictness ought to be emphasized, since so long as your work...
