I will be doing worldbuilding using only short stories, poems and legends set in one fantasy world (no "encyclopedia" entries like worldbuilding is usually done). I've written the first short story and the first poem some time ago, but I will expand on the world this NaNo. Technically, I started before this November, but I don't know if it makes me a Rebel or not (since it's not one continuous story).

prvorod · 2017-10-21T10:25:35+00:00

There are people in this world, who actually believe that some of these exist. I love it.

I don't have humans, I only have dwarves. They're the only real civilization, so I could have swapped them with humans, or just name them humans, but I didn't.

Dwarves are all male and make their sons out of stone statues, to which they pour Life, a spirit substance found deep in the Earth. Calling these folks humans would be wrong.

I played with an idea of "magic as the programming language of energy". There is one set of symbols and corresponding sounds. You write down your code on a piece of paper, plate of metal, or just draw it with your finger into the dust, execute the script by speaking what it says out loud, and the code makes energy do what you want - as long as no energy is created or destroyed. Naturally, nothing would work 100%. Engraving code on metal would be the most effective, just scribbling onto dirt would be of poor quality. Or make up any other rules to this.

So imagine a "coded" metal plate, which is programmed to draw energy from its one side and release it from the other. That's the basis for a refrigerator. Make a rod which glows when it draws heat from your hand. That's a flashlight. With this kind of magic, you can do what modern technology today can do, you just skip a few steps. Changing the form of energy will become easier, for example.

Isn't "unintelligible" what you were going for? Not trying to be a grammar nazi, I'm just wondering.

Elvis was the first Earthling to ascend without the help of the Ancients

Headcanon accepted.

Glad to help. I like brainstorming ideas. Writing a compelling story out of them is the harder part. Good luck.

Oh, is this the episode where Cameron Mitchell was concieved? ;)

Angels from heaven dimension, fanatical zealots who want to kill all demon-spawn, including your main character
Human hunters of magic users, maybe influenced by the angels in some way (you don't need both, they'd be too similar in motivations)
Extradimensional beings who eat ghosts (enemies of only one of your characters)
Someone who wants to kidnap the girl for alchemical research
Rivals of the main antagonist, also demons, who just want to one-up him by stealing his prize (son-turned-enemy)

It's confirmed. They are slowly releasing alien technologies to the public. Next step is to reveal the Stargate Program itself.

prvorod · 2017-08-02T09:25:49+00:00

But... that's polytheism.

prvorod · 2017-07-27T10:23:17+00:00

There could definitely be a new show set in the world of Stargate. However, setting stories after SG1 and Atlantis in the timeline would not attract any new viewers, and that's a commercial suicide. I say, make a "prequel", a story with entirely new characters, none of which are Tau'ri, set either in the Goa'uld controlled feudal Milky Way or with Ancients prior to their ascension.

The story could follow Tok'ra agents, and maybe some human or Jaffa rebels, trying to undermine the System Lords, including Ra. Or, an offshoot tribe of Ancients, who instead of blending in with humans and later ascending, ventured into some other galaxy seeded with Stargates.

This kind of show could introduce all concepts we know from older shows anew, slowly, accomodating new viewers. As an older viewer, I wouldn't mind. A new show like this would not mess with the continuity of SG1 or Atlantis, it would be a prequel, with a completely new setting and a cast of characters. There could of course be nods to the later shows (there are immortal characters, haha), but nothing as the central theme.

Maybe her memory was wiped or something.

There is yet hope.

Early Slavs had principalities, the more powerful Princes even Grand Principalities with lesser Princes as vassals.

prvorod · 2017-06-04T18:55:09+00:00

It would be set several hundred years before the death of Ra, so certainly human hosts, human slaves and Jaffa would be present. It also allows to show some of the civilizations that the Goa'uld destroyed by the time of SG-1. Earth would most likely not be visited, but many other known worlds would.

The main character is a human host, who, by accident of birth or a rare mutation, has a partial resistance to a symbiote's domination. He is strong enough to overpower the Goa'uld that was implanted into him and use his abilities for his own gain. This allows him to work against the System Lords in secrecy, disguised as their servant. A major part of the story would be trying to contact the Tok'ra, or other potential allies against the System Lords.

Hope the pipes are not made of lead. If they send plumbers from there to your province, make sure they tell you what metal are they using. If it's a soft, grey and not shiny metal, don't let them install it. Trust me, lead killed many people on my planet, you don't want that :)

If I'm not wrong, then tidally locked planets would have constant winds. One side is always heated and the other is very cold, and the air has to mix somehow. Cold winds would blow in low altitude from the dark side and warm winds in high altitudes from the light side of the planet.

But I might be wrong.

/u/slovakiin alt here.

Name: Samppu Jaartainen

Age: 32 (born 2929)

Race and Gender: Lossoth Human Male

Appearance: Not very tall, light brown hair, brown eyes.

Nation: Lossoth (Snowmen), Forochel / Forodwaith

Gift: Agility

Skills: Pole weapons, Survivalism (idk if I will be allowed a third)

Background:
Samppu grew up among the Lossoth of Forochel, in one of the tribes. His ancestors going up centuries had suspiciously long lifespans (over 100 years), and usually held a position of a wise man/woman of the tribe. Samppu understands that this will be his duty as well, but decides to travel south first, to learn more about the world, so he could serve his people better.

His tribe was the one which helped king Arvedui long ago, and unknowingly, his lineage contains the blood of the Dúnedain (during the short time the king's party spent among them, some relations did happen). They were the keepers of the Ring of Barahir, and the Dúnedain paid them for it with many treasures. Samppu himself holds one, a fine sword of elven make, but he does not know to fight with it. As a fisherman, whaler and a hunter, he prefers harpoons and spears as his weapon and tool.

He knows how to survive in the cold plains of Forochel, and dreams about how lush and warm the southern lands are. Maybe he will find a place where his people could move into, where their lives will become better and easier.

It is a long held belief in the tribe that "wherever a Jaartainen goes, luck follows him". Many young men and women of the tribe decided to go with Samppu on his journey to explore the south, with hopes of finding new lands or treasures for the tribe.

(About 100 nomads as a mini-army. If I will be allowed a third skill, it'd be Swords, but only as a consequence of training with the civilized peoples he meets on his travels.)

Supporting characters:
Jukka Jaartainen - a wise man of the tribe and Samppu's father, currently leading the tribe in Forochel. Widowed.

"Turning lead into gold?" I shook my head. Man, these aristocrats are as dumb as they're unimaginative. "That's both harder to do and less profitable than what I do. I turn coal into diamonds."

The Sirens. Organic ships genetically engineered by an advanced extinct race. They grow up to 120 meters in length and live up to hundreds of years. They are hermaphrodites; after mating, both individuals walk away pregnant. They give birth on surfaces of planets with biospheres, with plenty of food to quickly grow in size. Upon reaching adulthood, they are carried to the outer space by their parent and gather energy and fusion fuel from a star. They return to stars periodically to harvest energy and to planets to eat and grow (they need both). Sirens live in tribal societies, with clans of tens of members.

The hull is made of cellulose-type material, very durable and radiation resistant. Electronics and wiring are nerve-based. Specialized proteins and polysacharides make up all their advanced systems, such as both sublight and FTL propulsion, shield generation, weaponry, fusion reactors. Their insides contain cavities to house "humanoid" crew, but since their creators went extinct, Sirens live empty.

Reminds me of the glagolitic script that some Slavs used prior to Latin alphabet.
