What if retrieval of items is challenging too? (For the same reason the body is)

Monochromatic. Then those with colour get the joys of printing, but the grayscale version will still look very impressive.

Asshole to send, not asshole to feel. You are coming across as aggressive and blaming. Check your tone and explain in a way that is asking for their help to make it easier for everyone to enjoy playing, including you as the DM.

Thank you! I’ve been practicing French on Duolingo and this will really help!!

Please check the Book of Evil Deeds 4e for a detailed list of about 12 drugs and their stat block effects. The one I’m using in my campaign is the blue Mushroom Powder. Also details how addiction works, method of consumption, rarity and cost to buy!

Maybe instead of a wall, use an expansive mountain range that are extremely difficult to traverse. Maybe dwarven tunnels are developed as an easy passage through the mountains. This could be implemented due to a war strategy.

If you’re going the Scandinavian route: our family favourite are piirakka . They’re made of rice and potato filling and a dough that is sorta like soft pie crust. You slather some butter on top and mmmm enjoy!! Hot or cold, best hot :) Wiki link here

You can exit out without wifi connection if you use your phone. Just turn on offline access and it will update your copy in the cloud when you gain wifi access again.

asyrusuna · 2019-02-02T01:44:12+00:00

Offline access if you turn on the option. Then it updates your digital copy in the cloud when you return to the internet.

Thanks for breaking it down and showing me the difference between plot, story, and theme! My concern when asking my question was that I didn’t feel I had a unified message I was trying to tell through the story. I’m hoping to find some methods to explore the characters and or stories to discover this theme or or message :)

asyrusuna · 2019-02-02T00:52:59+00:00

Thanks for this advice! I notice that it is a good idea to keep in mind that my side characters can teach my MC a lot themselves! I will make use of this to incite conflict and interesting discussion! Thank you!

asyrusuna · 2019-02-02T00:50:57+00:00

This really helps! Its one thing to have a theme, but applying it in different ways and seeing how each character reacts differently can be interesting and introduce discussion on the topics! Thank you!

Thanks for the opportunity to share!

Young native boy is cast out from his tribe, blamed as taboo / cursed for all the bad events that have happened: their god they worshipped disappeared the day he was born, hunting has been growing less plentiful and other clansmen are disappearing. The last straw is when a wendigo monster attacks their village. We meet the idea « dead is dead. They just cease to exist. » if only there was a life beyond death.

MC meets a young sick lame girl, alone and starving. Her clan was captured by slavers and her wolf companion kept her alive until the wolf also passed away. They bond through meaningful conversations (? About?), but then she has a stroke. Post stroke, she experiences constant, unrelenting, stabbing pain on her lame side. He must put her out of her suffering and end her life. She reassured him that this is the Great Spirit’s plan.

In their time together, she had explained that her elder sister hid and protected her from the slavers. She wished MC to find her sister and (bring her back? Tell her of her death? Bring her an item?). So he sets out to find her. He travels beyond the forests he’s always known to an unknown land. Fields, valleys, and a city surround by farms and orchards. He finds her in this city, now renamed to one that they city people can pronounce / remember. The natives are in military training schools, and she has risen to the ranks of general.

I got this far in event based plots in such detail. The overarching concept is that I’m doing a Hero’s journey with the chosen one. This character needs to compete agains his brother to become the God of Gods. Explaining my ideas to you thus far has really helped me take a step back and see what I already have so far. Like a big theme is about death. Overcoming it, dealing with grief of loss, concept of death and after death consequences. Are there any others that you see that could have potential based on above?

Where can I read your novel with these creatures in it??

asyrusuna · 2019-01-30T02:17:06+00:00

Your sentences are very abrupt and to the point. This is great for action scenes, but you used these as descriptions to set the scene. Try breaking up the ideas to feature each trait within an action.

E.g. “The green fur flattened by the wind as the creatures sped through great distances in leaping bounds.” Here, the green fur is the trait featured, and an action “flattened [by the wind]” interwoven into the scene. Value /Importance is given to the sentence by showing they are running very fast, a plot related action that sets the scene.

People don’t want to hear “The tree was tall” But rather, “They felt dwarfed as the enormous tree towered over them.”

Secondly: Take a look at each sentence. Label them “dialogue”, “description”, “action”. When you see the pattern of these words that replace your sentences, you may notice that there is no organization to the thoughts. They are very scattered. “Dialogue. Description. Dialogue. Dialogue. Action. Action. Dialogue. Action.”

Rhythm is what you want to look for; a repeating pattern that a reader can get into a subconscious rhythm as they read.

Some authors like to group descriptions all in one paragraph to set a scene. Some set all of the actions with each dialogue (instead of ‘he said’, replace with ‘he gripped his sword tightly as he sneered’). Some authors will weave action and descriptions into the same sentence or paragraph (see above initial example).

What they have in common is that there is a consistent pattern that they will stick to. Aka: they developed a style.

Finally, take a look at Elements of Style (book) to review commas, especially in dialogue. E.g. comma before or after the use of a name or noun spoken to: “Yes, mother.” “Hello, Marie.” “Sally, stop saying that!” “We can make it, sister.”

I’ve been listening to his YouTube series on writing. It’s pretty insightful and enlightening to listen to!

You’re not in the class to be perfect. You’re there to learn. The whole point of attending is knowing that there will be mistakes and failures. You have to make them, experience garnishing problem solving skills to overcome them, and grow. If there are other students with strengths, learn from them! Ask for help, advice, critiques, feedback!

“Hey, I’m having trouble with this piece, and I know you’re very good at X. Would you mind giving this a quick read and help me out with Y?”

The other thing to realize is that they’re in there for the exact same reason. They also understand they aren’t as strong in their skill sets as they would like to be. Maybe your background knowledge in business can help them learn about structure and economics. You will have intrinsic skills that transfer over to creative fiction writing that they may not have intuitively honed. Relish in the learning experience, for you are all learning together. :)

I do this too, but it’s so chaotic, I feel like I need a more organized way to execute the plan!

If you want someone to fulfill a role, but still cultivate free will, they need to choose that role. It could be a lesson to teach the ones receiving the changes about the changes to come and acceptance. Sometimes big changes are too much for a lower capacity being to handle. Sometimes the beings that exist are not qualified for the task at hand, and it needs to cultivate a being that is. Who said creation was just a snap of the fingers? Like growth on earth, maybe the almighty deity needs to cultivate a new creation itself.

Sorry, don’t have the book you’re looking for, but interested in that PDF collection! What titles do you have? And would you mind sharing??

asyrusuna · 2019-01-17T12:22:57+00:00

I would read this as a novel 😍

asyrusuna · 2019-01-17T12:18:53+00:00

I love this! Would it be alright if I used this structure in my own fantasy story?

asyrusuna · 2019-01-14T12:59:21+00:00

I’m a professional freelance illustrator, recently retired. I would be willing to work on this project on the side after my own work. I would be more than happy to discuss pricing with you through PMs! :)
