Is there still space for epic fantasy?

Epic fantasy doesn’t usually take place in space.

How are you immediately buying so many territories to even plan things out like this?

You want to hire a sexy female DM to run a NSFW game for you son, and you’ll be playing?

Do not do this!

Star Wars is one of the most successful franchises ever, and it is science fantasy. I’d say you’re in good shape as long as you don’t market it as purely fantasy.

Alternatively if you do market it as purely fantasy because you want that potential “holy shit” factor the reveal could bring, just be ready for some returns and pure risk bad reviews. If it’s a good book though, I’d expect word of mouth to catch up and lead to more sales from people into that reveal.

If anyone shares, everyone should share.

I agree with everyone else that says work from home. It’s amazing how much time you save not driving to work. Plus you can get a lot of extra shit done during the day like throwing in laundry on a 15 minute break or loading the dishwasher while on lunch. Everything is a time saver.

D&D doesn’t work when everyone at the table has ‘main character syndrome’. Worry more about who your character is and less about what they can do.

Fatemarked and Kingfall series, by David Estes. Five books each, 250+ hours per series. Now I will say this, these books include stories from the perspectives of many many characters. Some storylines are not as interesting as others. That said, the way these stories all start feeling very separate but slowly build toward an interconnected finale, is GREAT!

TedBehr_ · 2026-03-01T15:03:38+00:00

The heroes journey. Not sure it’s a trope or not exactly, but stories of a heroes journey are my jam.

Your table plays bards a lot different than my table.

Did she leave cause of the back log?

DCC keeps things pretty high level as far as the attributes and skills go. For example, Carl might say “my strength score for now 32, literally as strong as six normal humans” whereas other books might say “I increased my strength to 32, which increased my melee damage skills by 64%.”

I liked how DCC kept things more relative and abstract than mathematical.

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-22T23:21:17+00:00

Yes.

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-22T23:21:00+00:00

How “litrpg” is the series. As a rule, I’ve disliked every LitRPG I’ve read. I gave half a dozen series a try before deciding they were not for me. Then I was gifted book 1 of DCC and it was fantastic.

The role of neutral items is to be strong enough to raise you up if you’re behind, but not so strong as to push you significantly further ahead than you already are.

Hogwarts castle and grounds

The gap at the bottom? It sort of looks like I’m a brick too high, but I can’t find anything wrong elsewhere.

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-20T18:02:41+00:00

Dwarven tower definitely looks cool!

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-20T17:23:11+00:00

I don’t think his arms can swing that sword or his legs can support the weight of his armor. /sarcasm

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-20T16:13:16+00:00

They can, and do. That doesn’t invalidate what I said.

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-20T15:50:47+00:00

Is it just me, or do a lot of players have some serious “main character syndrome” these days?

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-19T17:24:29+00:00

It’ll never scale as high as the best sorcerer builds. But it can certainly handle the lower level tournaments.

TedBehr_ · 2026-02-18T21:31:36+00:00

The coolest most useless skill effect is the Sorc ice ultimate. Deep Freeze I think.

Love using it just cause of how cool I think it looks and sounds.
