    Why the western works are not so focused on training rhe human body?

    (Self)-cultivation is specifically the eastern thing. Training? A hell of a lot of western stories (especially medieval fantasy ones) features training of the body, one way or another. What with all that muscular knights and paladins. Also military academy (with obligatory body training) very...

    If a planet has the atmosphere without toxic elements and atmospheric pressure and temperature on surface don't differ dramatically from Earth, full-scale spacesuit is actually not needed, oxygen tank will do (may be, with space / pressure helmet, or a simple gas mask, attached to oxigen tank).

    Is English restrictive?

    I never tried to write my own fiction in English (so far... but it's also applicable to my native language, with an exception of couple of dozen of poems). But I made few translations into English. I can't say, that it's restrictive in any field imaginable. Yes, it lacks some specific means for...

    (For Writing Purposes) What useful app do you have on your phone?

    https://pages.roll20.net/companionapp Well, as you see, it's also for players, not only for a DM. And my players are using it. Though I never was the player in D&D (be it classical meetings for tabletop sessions or online). Only the DM. I was the player in Star Wars RPG, but it were tabeltop...

    (For Writing Purposes) What useful app do you have on your phone?

    Does nobody have mentioned Roll20? Ability to be DM in real world would be OP.

    Recommendations Cool, uncringe, mysterious guys in suits

    In general, are we talking about an organization or a standalone character? For some reason, I immediately thought of a secret organization (such as "Men in Black") or special agents (such as Agent Smith in "The Matrix"). But, as I see, others offer individual characters (Lucifer, Hakuto Kunai)...

    Sorry, I could not help. Still, if someone isn't such strict in their criteria’s, they can easily find "Godslayers" by Trollmore on the Royal Road.

    Is it considered Isekai?

    @AliceShiki , you a right. There are some marginal cases, like transported to the very similar world with alternative history (classic example is "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick), where I simply don't know, will it receive in Japan "Isekai" genre or not, but it still formally...

    Recommendations Cool, uncringe, mysterious guys in suits

    @TenderHuman , are suits compulsory? Or guys from secret organization doing their mysterious cool job is enough? I've read a novel, where some secret organization literally fought local gods on different planets (to save populace from their leaching of power). Will that do (I need to look at my...

    What is the best way to write a horror novel that can cause the reader to feel Goosebumps?

    It worked until I was 5 or 6. Never after. If a night is too dark, and I can't see a sh*t, my only fear is to bump into something, or tripple and fall. Not at all some unknown threats. I guess, I have poor imagination. :s_frown:

    Guys the mods are asleep

    Two prisoners in a jale for heavy crimes are staying first day in one cell. First one (F) asks: “How are you end up here?” Second one (S) answers: “I robbed a bank. And you?” (F) “It’s a long story… I’m afraid, you will not manage to the end.” (S) “Try me. We have plenty of time here.” (F) “All...

    Guys the mods are asleep

    I bet, Thaumcraft would be better here. Though zombie brains are disgusting and I always hated to eat them. Still, some creatures will be not so averted to do it, I think.

    @Sleds, I even couldn't recognize the voice of Annie Lennox approximately to the one third of composition... :confused:
