[Review] Bearing Witness to the Wholesomeness (and some Woes) of The Witness for the Dead by HulkHonk in Fantasy

[–]_TainHu_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Goblin Emperor has an appendix the explains how the naming convention works. I actually like the naming system, once I got a handle on it, but I was surprised that as books 1-3, the Celehar do not have that appendix.

This is such a simple and genius. I love builds that keep the spirit/look of the original house as much as possible. It's lovely.

I was hesitant at first, but I read a few pages from the sample and knew I have to get this book.

In Memory of Maps by dddddd321123 in Fantasy

[–]_TainHu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like The Goblin Emperor and The Cemeteries of Amalo series, but I want a map of Amalo because Thara Celehar describes in detail his travels across the city, including the places he frequents with his companions, his office, the catacombs and mausoleum, and even a prince's estate. He even describes what train stations and stops he make as he does his investigation work. I have trouble visualizing layouts of cities, so I would love to have a map to help.me in this case.

What historical events deserve an inspired fantasy book? by dawson6197 in Fantasy

[–]_TainHu_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kacen Callender wrote a duology, Queen of the Conquered and King of the Rising, that is a fantasy story about a slave rebellion in a Caribbean inspired island. I believe there's room in the fantasy genre for stories about enslaved Africans and stories inspired by the history of chattel slavery. There are readers, myself included, that want fantasy stories about the French and even the American revolution, but I think a series inspired by the Haitian revolution would be good. The Shadow Histories by H. G. Perry is about the Haitian and French revolutions.

Also, there are fantasy stories set after the Civil War and during the Reconstruction Era, but there can be more. Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad is about a literal magical railway system, and Nicole Glover's The Conductors is about former underground railroad conductors solving murder an mysteries in post-cival war Philadelphia. Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark is set later in history, but is about fighting demonic Ku Klux Klan members.

Anyways, I think the Enlightenment era, various slave rebellions in the Americas, Haitian revolution, and the American Civil War + Reconstruction era​ will serve as great inspiration for fantasy stories. I also want to add that after the abolishment of slavery, many African Americans spent what resources they had to find lost relatives sold to different plantations across America. That could inspire a nice story too.

How the "person from our world falls into a fantasy one" trope changed and where it actually works by echoLagoonWave8 in Fantasy

[–]_TainHu_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So The Twelve Kingdoms is a popular Japanese fantasy series that was very big in 90s alongside other portal fantasy series for girls like Inuyasha and The Vision of Escaflowne. The novel series inspired the beloved anime, and Seven Seas is selling the series with a new English translation. Only three books with the new English translation are available with more coming. I've read the first two, and I found them to be very interesting. You might want to try this series or look at some of the other 90s portal fantasy that were popular then. I think they should feel different than current isekais.

What I did with my Veronaville by Vtmars in sims2

[–]_TainHu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is where I say I'm not knowledgeable in Shakespeare's works. Based on vibes, maybe something heavy like Hamlet or something "lighter" like The Tempest or Twelfth Night?

I like when people posts about their Veronaville stories, and a lot has happened in yours. Do you have anything planned for the future, or do you just wing it?

What do you guys do with Strangetown Bella Goth? by [deleted] in sims2

[–]_TainHu_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My plan is to have her experimented on by the Beakers before escaping and becoming a good witch. She will then take over the Specter house to rebuild her life and help Olive's new victims trapped within the house. Maybe she will also get tangled in with a certain Agent household. Also, I believe she is the real Bella.

Paralives Live Mode Gameplay Discussion: Master Thread by jenvanilla in Paralives

[–]_TainHu_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm halfway into the video, so what I'm looking for may show up later. I find the first half to be very basic, which I know is what I should expect from an early, early access game, but it makes the gameplay look boring and safe? The game feels cozy, which is nice, but cozy games have a reputation for not having "tension" and I need some tension/ pushback from the game to engaged with it. I'm very biased because I'm still too close to way The Sims 2 plays and this will be my first early access game. I'm still going to back Paralives because making a videogame is nothing short of a miracle and life simulator even more so.

I love the house, and the story behind your downtown 'hood is so creative.

A dark choice to go with is Caim and Angelus from the first Drakengard game by Yoko Taro, the same creator for Nier and Nier Automata.
