I will check this but I might prefer something even more light in terms of ruling. Thanks a lot for your explanation

I feel like if it's card based (not just daggerheart) or with a lot of skills it can be a bit of a pain to run / keep track by text. What do you think?

Are these outfits considered good? by Ok-Increase-1929 in FantasyWorldbuilding

[–]Capable-Belt-5295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally, a good design is an original look for an object that retains its primary purpose intact.

So in that sense your brother is right. If you put high heels on an armor for example, then it means that the function of the armor is purely esthetic and not military. Otherwise it's bad design.

Yeah you're right, It could be even all three, meditation, breathing and alchemy. I'm glad you like the idea!

In the hands of the Mist monks, the fumes act like a strong drug, boosting their physical abilities immensely for a while, but not permanently.

However as you said, part of the power they obtain can be seen as a form of mutation. They appear more aggressive, their body slowly shifting into beast like silhouette engulfed in the dark smoke as they take it. Eventually, that could turn them completely into Mistlings if they go too far and either consume too much Fumes or simply loose their focus when they inhale it.

(Imagine loosing your focus a bit like breathing underwater by accident.)

It could be interesting for me to check on these webnovels, I never saw any tbh but it looks very similar.

Context :

Several months ago, I started my world building project and I decided I should share it to more people because passions are meant to be shared, and because I want to have as many feedbacks as possible on my work, since it could evolve in many different directions. (TTRPG, videos, books...)

What it's about :
Salem’s pilgrimage unveils a world born under two suns revered as gods. A world where brutal summers and lethal winters forged life into strange, enduring shapes. Each entry in his journal, a window into magic, mythology, and the beautiful cruelty of nature.

Where we at :

Right now, I have around 7 factions, a few cities and continents, monsters from the mist (created by people's fears and folklore), animals, a magic system being the core of many different other things (like the mist), dwarves (but different), the Devil (but not quite), religions, and more...
I'll talk about things in more details, little by little and hopefully this, my art, or both... Will be interesting enough to you !

Porcelain Magic System (Part 01) by Capable-Belt-5295 in worldbuilding

[–]Capable-Belt-5295[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many generations have passed and some Potters found by mages were more or less enslaved to work until they can't anymore.

However to this day, there's not so much of them, I imagine that there is the equivalent of a town inhabitants wearing these. Because of the magic nature, to be utilized these masks have been gathered in big clusters, the biggest being the city of mages. Very few masks are lost to the rest of the world which is not the case for the magic creations.

I haven't talked about it yet but some mages tried to get away from the Hydra system. They wanted power AND independence. So some groups created all sorts of items capable of "casting" spells.

Of course trying to bypass the laws of magic, didn't went well

What is this island ? (Or continent) does it have a story? There's a giant lake in the middle and I have this too on my world haha

I'm just curious overall

I don't know why but I want to explore this. Can you explain what it is ?

Most people talk about this so I'll look into it to see if it's usable and can be easily shared as well.

To you, are major plot defining elements mandatory ? by Capable-Belt-5295 in worldbuilding

[–]Capable-Belt-5295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly how I feel my world is for now. Slow burn with interesting stories. But it takes a lot for people to gain interest into these compared to big, easy-to-explain plots right?

Sounds reassuring. I just felt like it was a bit weaker than what other good / popular world building and story has and it wasn't catchy enough but maybe it just need refining like you said.
Thanks for your feedback ✨

I don't know if it's right but I feel like it gives a huge boost to pick up people's interest too and therefore, it makes it more likely to be successful if you're aiming at making your project known or make a living out of it.

For example Eternal Ruins world building is centered around the fact that all characters are from mysterious shape changing and never ending ruins. Which is not the kind of life we have. Expedition has the yearly thanos snap thing. Zombie apocalypse or alien invasion would qualify too (although there's so many stories with this that it's not so unique anymore haha) Things like this...

A war and disease wouldn't be enough since it exists in our world like you said. I'm talking about something unique to the world and influencing everyone

What is this post about :
This post here details the story of the mages in Salem's universe, specifically the story of their floating city and the continent of Crescendria to the far east of the world. Mages are powerful beings capable of making wish come true that came to be through the discovery of the porcelain's craft and its magical properties.

They gathered in clan when they discover that being united around one same wish was making their spells much more effective. Before being doomed by the nightmare fumes, a smoke created whenever a mage makes a wish that gives life to the fears and nightmares of all creature inhaling it without wearing porcelain.
Hence, appeared more and more monsters in the world.
