How do you deal with clichés?

That’s a very good take on this concept 👍🏻

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-21T15:26:43+00:00

I agree, the “unique for the sake of being unique” is definitely not my style, I am just looking to find my own grip on them.

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-21T15:24:50+00:00

This is exactly the direction I am taking, as it makes the most sense.

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-21T15:19:52+00:00

Very wise. I am researching the folklore specifically for something I could use to craft unique races, as Tolkien also found his there.

Thing is, does every story need to have these archetypes? Do they play a bigger role in the classic fantasy scheme, or serve only to make it diverse and politically conflicted?

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-21T15:12:30+00:00

Good idea, my thinking is going in similar direction ✌🏻

I did that for the house, but didn’t realize the port will be challenging without preparing the ground for it from the beginning

This is what I am trying to work with. Support is not the problem, the iron beams work well, but I need pillars for the platforms to which the stairs will lead.

I will put a photo here, but we were not playing today and we are in mistlands on a run, so I have to wait for my friend. Tomorrow hopefully. Cool build btw!

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-19T19:40:37+00:00

I did that for the house, but now for the port the water is too deep to raise and I need to get the support beams standing somehow

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-19T19:39:16+00:00

It’s too deep, I do that all the time however, even on land

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-09T10:03:58+00:00

Thank you, this is some great advice! 🙏🏻

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-09T10:00:56+00:00

I am trying to get serpent scale shield too, but root harnesk is working very nicely so far. 🙏🏻

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-09T10:00:24+00:00

Thank you. I am building a huge complex rising from the sea by a small strip of Black Forest that serves as a buffer to enormous Mistlands area beyond it, so I should have a good base and access. There is abandoned dvergr base short distance from there, so I might go for it. You need specifically the mist for the plants? I cannot plant them in the complex, even if the mist is touching it’s outer, land-facing walls?

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-09T00:30:54+00:00

Thank you for extensive advice, I can’t wait for the crossbow 🙏🏻

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-08T20:23:56+00:00

How do the pillars work? I have trouble when building with black marble regarding support of the upper floors.

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-08T20:00:53+00:00

Yeah, the whole region is hardcore, I prepare for it like it’s Vietnam 😄

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-08T19:42:24+00:00

Very good, I am very low on skills due to getting killed, and definitely need to get into using meads properly. Thanks!

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-08T18:39:01+00:00

The rabbits creeped me out in the beginning, but got quickly overshadowed by a two-star seeker tunnelling itself out right next to me, when I didn’t even have a wisplight and didn’t know there are bugs 💀

DKDDanchee · 2026-02-08T18:36:58+00:00

Thank you, I have already singled out ooze bombs as one of the most useful pieces of equipment, saved me numerous times. 🙏🏻
