    Why don’t the monsters in your world attack cities often?

    The main big bad creatures of my universe are stuck to what the inworld residents call mires. They're like zones that are haunted with stagnant life energy, the creatures themselves are built and animated by this energy and if they stray too far from it for too long then they'll eventually get...

    Where have all the people gone...?

    I personally love it when I take my walks and there is no cars or people around. It's like having the whole city to yourself. It's very peaceful.

    Help me decide what to read next

    I really liked The Inheritors. It's kinda confusing and it can take a bit to get used to how the characters talk/think about things (they're Neanderthals) But it's actually really fun. It's by William Golding

    Writing 1,000, 1,500, or 2,000 --- What’s the ideal word count per chapter

    It's been chapter dependent for me. I try to figure out what each chapter is supposed to do for the main story, if it's a big event it tends to be longer, if it's a small character building moment it is usually shorter.

    Would your OC be a good digimon tamer?

    I think he'd be pretty decent, his style of combat is already very similar to how a early season Digimon fights go, (basically being a cheerleader for the one doing the actual fighting) His power in the story is also very similar to digivolution. It has been loooooong awhile since I've kept up...

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    Yeah, 99% of the time he uses it for combat, in lore he's a guerrilla fighter who's taken it upon himself to become a one man army sort of deal, picking off straggling groups of soldiers when he can. I do plan for him to join the main trio, because his power would work really well with the MCs...

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    I have an ability I'd like to share, even if this is my own thread, It's one I've been thinking about for awhile and I think it's pretty cool. It's in the same world as the ones that are in the OP. With the first two being Smell and Sight, this is a Touch power I've grown fond of. The power...

    Simple or Complicated Stories?

    The way I've been doing it, is I started with the world building to a point, I answered a lot of the more vague and grand questions of the world I had myself at the beginning, like the gods/races/cultures/maps/mechanics/magic. Then I went to the writing part, the characters and the main story...

    Have you ever printed a personal copy of your story?

    They'll do this for any book? Or do you have to get approved for it? If I ever do finish, I think a personal copy what actually be super cool.

    What do you think of my Sound based abilities.

    It's short, about 900 words, I think the Vocarii are my favourite thing I've come up with for the Sound school. (I haven't come up with anything as interesting as the Scent ability though, I really like that one) The Aurelans Blizzard Chorus is okay, and Beast Talk is something everyone has seen...

    New movie on Netflix

    I saw a bit of it when I was at my sister's house, the niece was watching it. It was alright, Looks like it was trying to be a fusion of PPG/KDA

    Sanity Check, are you sane?!?

    My mother hears voices in her head, I'm still waiting for mine to show up.

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    Very brutal, damn lol. I like that you're flipping the Water = Healing trope. This is a cool one too, pretty close to what I have in my world as well, where magic is basically bending perceptions to the extreme. Your box analogy is close to how I tried to describe how magic works in my world...

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    Luck based powers are honestly pretty underrated IMO, especially if they end up with some like goofy Rube Goldberg type situations that get them into or out of the mess that they're trying to avoid or trying to have their enemies fall into. Love that sort of stuff. The first part immediately...

    Favourite Music To Write To

    When I was a teenager, I used to listen to the AIR ost a lot while writing.

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    Gush away man, I like starting these threads to hear about the lore bits of peoples worlds and sharing my own as well. I know that a lot of the coolest stuff in stories probably doesn't happen till much later so it might be awhile till anyone gets to talk about it or you get to talk about it...

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    haha okay Baki is a bad example for being realistic, but they are very technical in how their goofy ass martial arts works lol.

    What are your favorite powers or abilities you came up with?

    lol these are pretty fun, when you say stick man do you mean like the drawn figures or is it like a branch off a tree helping the MC beat someone to death? The Dark Nimbus is also similar to an idea I was thinking about giving to a character down the line, but executed much differently, where...
