    My idea for a Magic System.

    Sounds like a well-thought-out system that will allow a lot of freedom to your characters while still having ground rules. Go for it! Now I'm off to eat my cookie.

    How big are you ?

    You're welcome. As for the diet + sports combo, it's one of those 1+1=3 stuff. Either will work independently, but doing both will work better than the addition of each on their own. The hardest part is keeping it up in the long run. I've hired a personal trainer to help me keep on (and to...

    How big are you ?

    If you aren't willing or able to calculate daily calories, a discipline on meals (two meals+breakfast, as few snacks as possible) and food (cooking yourself, some veggies, the least possible amount of hyperprocessed food aka Fast Food, soda and premade meals) plus some physical activity (2 hours...

    Trying too hard not to copy Tolkien

    Caveat: I don't write. I do, however, master and play Tabletop RPGs, so I have designed and played in a few fantasy settings along the years. Tolkien races are a good starting point, because they're easily recognized by anyone, meaning you're not going to lose your newcomer. Of course, unless...

    Ethical Question

    Screw undead romance. That's necrophilia on one side and pedophilia on the other. I guess it's an inevitable tendency to romanticize all of the scary stuff, making them hot/cute in the process. A monster's fear factor mostly depends on its inhumanity, when you withdraw that, you've got another...

    How big are you ?

    1m85 on my ID, 1m84 IRL, so just a bit more than 2 yards, I guess... (Seriously, though, why don't you use yards for people?)

    Writing Prompt First human to fly

    Ungruk, son of Ungruk, would show them all! They'd all said that the mighty tree couldn't be cut, that only a god would manage to fell this giant of the forest. If cutting down a tree was all it took to become a god, then Ungruk would become a god. Of course, many had tried to cut the mighty...

    OK, here's my take. I took a detour at first, but I did end up somehow describing the place, or at least parts of it...

    Writing Prompt A fourth prompt... Who woulda thunk?!

    (OK, I'm fairly drunk, so not really knowing how this is going to turn out) Lieutenant commander Harvis of the interstellar federation was looking at the data from the newly discovered species. "So, what the exploration corps are saying is that we are facing yet another xeno empire, this one...

    Writing Prompt Honestly... What did you expect but a third prompt

    Jonathan came running towards the bus stop the rest of the usual crew and I were waiting for our ride downtown, his smile beaming. "Guys, guys, guys, I did it! I did the thing!" "The thing with the cheese and your armpits?" Carol asked, mildly disgusted. "No, wait, it's got to be the one where...

    Writing Prompt This is, in fact, another prompt.

    Let me tell you something. Worshipping Rangoon, the mystic flying crab of rainbows, out in the boonies is not for everyone. You get shunned by the neighbors for not going to their heathen churches, finding actual damned and acquiring their souls takes forever, and the tears of the fallen get in...

    Writing Prompt This is a prompt... I don't know what you expected.

    I'm really glad you liked it and felt it real! That was what I was going with, something slice-of-lifey with a mostly clueless protagonist. I don't know much about real-life witches, I wish I did, but a garden of herbs and magical jewelry seemed to fit. Most of the magical stuff I put in comes...

    Writing Prompt This is a prompt... I don't know what you expected.

    I had been staring at that bottle on my desk for quite a while. I knew it must have some value for someone, but a quick internet search came underwhelming, with some ridiculously priced bottles that had been sitting on eBay for a few years and felt more like jokes than anything else. Then it...

    Races or Species

    Well, maybe not always, but in dogs (technically wolves if you want to nerd about taxonomy) that's clearly a limiting factor. And dogs are really handy to understand ring species. Geography, morphology, behaviors or other factors can all lead to ring species, the idea being that they can indeed...

    Races or Species

    I like to stick with the interbreedable principle. Half-elves are a thing? Then humans and elves are the same species, different races/breeds. Half-dwarves don't exist? Different species! Dwarves can interbreed with humans but not elves? You've gotten yourself a ring species, different races...
