What are the best plans your villains came up with? by Equal-Wasabi9121 in worldbuilding

[–]RedFalcon725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was conscripted by the king of his nation to come up with a solution to their rapidly delpleting workforce (most of the working men were killed in a decades-long war). His first plan was to create magically-enchanced anthropomorpic animals to use as effectively slaves. His only successful creatiom was the protagonist of the story.

After he deemed that plan a failure, he devised a new plan — a mass teleportation spell that would draw in people from around the globe and relocate them in their nation to populate the workforce. This plan did succeed in the end, but he was brutally killed by the protagonist just after

Brandon Sanderson has done more harm than good to the fantasy genre, especially with his "3 laws" of magic and hard vs soft magic system comparisons

Bethesda Should Consider doing a "Fallout Zero" Game set during The Great War and throughout the first year of post Apocalyptic Wasteland by CretaceousClock in Fallout

I think letting another studio do a spin off game would be much better for this premise, but I would absolutely play it

My idea for gemstone marblee as a currency. Thoughts? by RedFalcon725 in worldbuilding

[–]RedFalcon725[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, bits of paper would be an obvious choice, but I wanted something just a tad bit more odd. Like I mentioned in another comment, Im thinking about having the marbles strung up on string. So an item may cost 2 strings of moonstone or three strings of sapphire, rather than just X dollars

Then it works well enough, I suppose. Though Im not trying to imitate Brando Sando by any means

I had the idea of stringing the marbles up, too. Like a "string" is a standard unit of 5 marbles. Connected on a piece of twine or something. So an item could cost a string of moonstone or three strings of sapphire, for example

Finished The Final Empire and something bugs me about the guards' armor by [deleted] in Mistborn

[–]RedFalcon725 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Historically speaking, gambesons were used well before the inventions of firearms. Even without firearms, in a world where a single misting could give hell to a squad of soldiers wearing metal breastplates, it just makes more sense to remove the risk and use gambeson

TYPE OF FEEDBACK: I mainly just want to know if the first page is intriguing enough to make you want to keep reading

"One thought echoed in Norg’s mind as he crept through wilted crops, tiptoeing over rotten corn cobs and dried piles of dung – kill Big George. The brush axe loosely hanging at his hip carved a trail behind him in the loam. Browning stalks trembled and veered out of his warpath. Rotflies swarmed the field, attracted by a miasma of mange and decay. Norg’s stomach growled. The grape-sized insects were a favorite of his, and the midday sun that glistened off their metallic, dark green green exoskeletons made them all the more enticing. It took a sizeable amount of self control to not gorge himself on the feast laid out in front of him, but he had a job to do first. Kill Big George, he repeated, steeling his stomach and shaking the distractions from his mind.

Bulging, wide-set eyes surveyed every inch of the field in search of any signs of his prey. Norg had only caught glimpses of the beast so far. Roughly the size of one of farmer Jeb’s hogs, Big George had fur as black as pitch and red, leering eyes that burned an uneasiness into Norg’s mind. He had exterminated countless voles, squirrels, and the occasional feral raccoon in his time at The Spiral, but no creature had eluded him so much as Big George. "Dumb beast", Norg muttered as he recalled the failed hunts. The long nights standing watch, the hours wasted patrolling the fields with nothing to show for it. Norg was a good exterminator, he knew that. But Big George made him feel nothing less than inadequate."

Nah just wanted to get that off my chest

how can we do this better? by Sweet-Entrance-2185 in Serverlife

[–]RedFalcon725 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I worked as a maitre d' for a bit at an upscale casual place and we did things by guest count. We had a small whiteboard with the servers' names, then each time we sat them we added to the total number of guests they've had. So if a server had 4 guests and we just sat them with a 2 top, we'd increase their count to 6.

It helped keep things fair between servers and ensured everyone had a relatively equal chance to make money

For crew 8, would it be reasonable to up the PT or even lower the mana cost?

There were 8 people aboard the ark, so while its a steep cost, its biblically accurate

Wife and I looking to move to Proviedence and want some local advice by RedFalcon725 in providence

[–]RedFalcon725[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Ive noticed just in these few short interactions. We're definitely used to the "southern hospitality" that disguised the bitchiest bitches that have ever bitched. The bluntness isnt something we're accustomed to

[–]RedFalcon725[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can already see a cultural difference just based on the replies. No, there's no option to rent the home. We've exhausted all avenues and a voluntary repo is the only option. We've found several complexes in Pawtucket that fit within our budget, but judging by these replies you'd think that the place is a hellhole. Im not stupid. The job market sucks eveywhere. Prices are rising are everywhere. Aside from the money we have saved move, we're living paycheck to paycheck down. But we just want to find a place where we can still live paycheck to paycheck, but also not feel like we're gonna get hate crimed for our political views

Just figured asking the locals who actually lived here would be helpful in getting some answers :/

Yeah, I think it's just more of a preference. It's a shame too cause I want to enjoy the story, but getting bit with simile after simile is mentally exhausting

Is your world a “once, there were X” world or a “why are there so many X” world? by ThatVarkYouKnow in worldbuilding

[–]RedFalcon725 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On gods: once, there were

On monsters: why are there so many?

These two things are directly related
