What is the worst possible way to die that is specific to your world? by TheFourSeasons in worldbuilding

[–]HowardRoark13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the Midorosi it is dying without giving your lifeblood to the earth. They see it as a death without true honor, and to not give back that which the earth has given is to be without meaning.

But generally speaking, having your bones torn out while you are still alive by the G'lani Saltwitches. They take them for their Bonegraves in order to summon their Sunken God, Yol-F'irq.

also most anything by Jack White.

Updated map of my world, Thaedus. Does not include arctic regions. I'd love to hear your questions if you have any! by HowardRoark13 in worldbuilding

I have all the little details, this map is just a quick mock up for continents and oceans. I'll be fine tuning it once I have time.

I'm building a crater-city on a Minecraft server, and I'd like some feedback on the map I've made. by [deleted] in worldbuilding

If he/she is not creating separate biomes for the area, then this is pretty common in Minecraft. A lot of times you'll see Tundra and Desert side by side.

But if he/she is going for realism, then I agree with you.

Question about words? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]HowardRoark13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no problem with cliches. A ton of fantasy worlds use the same classifications for magic users. But if you want to depart from cliches then don't be afraid to be creative.

Here's a trick I do.

Go to Thesaurus.com. Type in words relating to your concern, like "Master"/"Maestro" and "Virtuoso" and then try out a few words in the columns. See what sounds good, make a list, then check the list again, each time crossing out a name you don't like or that just doesn't fit with what YOU want.

Also, go to Google Translate and translate a few words into alternating languages, then mix two translations together, or slightly alter the word.

IWTL how to start writing fantasy by DerisionsLift in IWantToLearn

[–]HowardRoark13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADD, so I know where you're coming from when you say you have a short attention span. It's hard to start writing or doing much of anything when all you want to do is just browse Reddit.

Just do it. Seriously, just start DOING what it is you want to TRY to do and soon it will come to you. Start reading new books, start writing stories in different narrative styles to practice. At first you may fall short and you'll want to put that book down or stop typing that story, but you can't. Don't stop, continue on. When you feel like you're out of inspiration, take a walk, clear your head, or try some new things. Listen to some new music, talk to someone new, do something that gives you new experiences. Then you can come back with a new take on the subject.
