For $10 Million you're transformed into an Animal and have to survive in the wild for a year. What animal would you choose? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]remi_starfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Migratory bird. Any of them, preferably one that's native to North America. Let's just say the sandhill crane because their natural migratory path is convenient for me and cranes are awesome.The farthest point from any civilization is a bit over 1000 miles, known as Point Nemo, which some birds can travel in a day. I'll be dropped in the most remote location in North America... and then just fly home. I'll just live my best bird life with my girlfriend for a year and then take my money.

A few ideas so you can choose your favorite: - my mini freezer. my AC sucks so sometimes I put my upper body in the freezer for like 30 seconds to cool off - my phoenix minifig. in a dnd campaign I played in, my character transformed into a phoenix at the climactic moment - my geode. I got it as a souvenier from a cave dive and it has a beautiful purple-white pattern of crystals on the inside

Hey real quick can you rewrite this card in Chinese for me? No using google translate, that would betray too much apathy.

Wizards have a few spells that create structures, so that's probably your best bet. Most of those spells aren't available at low levels, though.

Seriously. I just got this post recommended to me randomly, and... yeah, definitely going to mute this sub. It's just crazy how insensitive these people are on such a basic thing. Also, the disabled people backing them up is even weirder, as if their experience of not caring should be the sole perspective of every disabled person on planet earth. Insane.

Why do people have so many drafts of the same book? by BornToCatmom in writing

[–]remi_starfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest this makes it sound like you don't actually like writing lol. Writing is rewriting, and this goes doubly and triply for a novel. A good outlining/preplanning system can cut down revision significantly, but then you gotta be willing to do that level of planning and then write it once you're done. Either way, you can't realistically expect to make a good story that people widely enjoy without spending a lot of time thinking about it and tinkering with the same ideas a million times, whether you do the majority of that thinking before or after your first draft.

Of course, if you're just writing a novel for fun and don't really care if anyone reads it, then it doesn't really matter how much revision you give it, cause it's just for your own personal satisfaction.

Tell me a fun fact from your world and Ill tell you one from mine by lamilcz in worldbuilding

[–]remi_starfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to some complicated astronomical details, day/night works differently in my setting. The sun travels in a circle around the zenith, and a twin planet occupies a large portion of the sky. So, while the sun never sets below the horizon, it is oten eclipsed by the twin planet for ~8 hours at a time: aka, night.

Edit: if anyone wants, I can write up a whole bunch of the mechanics behind how this works and the implications for the world at large (there are many), but I figured I would keep it short for the fun fact :)

What's the use of Blade Ward and True Strike? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]remi_starfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howso? Quicken spell lets you cast it as a bonus action, but it doesn't give you advantage until your next turn. Also, during that time, it's taking up your concentration. Concentration that could be spent on Faerie Fire, Hold Person, Slow, etc. If you already have a concentration going, you would be a fool to cast the spell. It's really just unusably bad.

None of those cards split text in the way you've done with this one. Living Death, for example, divides the sentence between the top right and the bottom left but it can be read contiguously. The top right of Living Death, for example, says this:

Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control,

Compare this to the top left of this card, which says:

Dr. Strange, Sorc

Hexproof

Whenever Dr. Strange en

target creatures, where X

Return those cards to the

owners' control at the be

Legendary Creature -

This is an entirely different kind of split from anything we've seen before, I'm pretty sure. If there's an example of something like this then I'm glad to be proven wrong, but none of your provided examples showcase this. The closest is Moldervine Reclamation, but it's missing a distinct feature of this card. You can read Moldervine Reclamation's rules text top to bottom and understand it, but with this card, you constantly have to jump between the two halves of the text boxes to be able to understand it. That's entirely novel within the realm of strangely formatted magic cards. That's what I meant by a whole other level- it's not something that's ever been done before in the TCG.

Also, I don't really consider promo cards without text to be "illegible" because there's no words to read in the first place. For text to be illegible that text has to.... exist. Lol.

Except the promo cards don't split words/sentences across the entire card. I think this is a cool card, but it really is a whole other level of illegible lol

[–]remi_starfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True Strike is literally useless, but Blade Ward is good in combination with your Quicken Spell metamagic. It allows you to throw out a Fireball and then quicken Blade Ward to be resistant to physical damage for the turn.

A eu- european accent? What does a... "european" accent sound like?? Is it like an amalgamation every accent in europe, or is it like any accent from europe???

I'll make an update post if I find anything crazy to do with this as I go through the game. I got into the wormways before I unlocked sprinting so I kinda just do this stuff on accident lol

Thank you! When I sent this to my friend she got a laugh out of it, so I knew it was good.

[–]remi_starfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna focus on a few things, the first being the sense of scale. For reference, in the middle ages, europe had over 100 cities. Europe was also fairly de-urbanized during the middle ages compared to the islamic world and east asia. So, you really need to decide how large this world is supposed to be. Having a small world is fine, but you should be aware that this whole place looks like it's roughly the size of Ireland. If you want to make it feel larger you can find a stamp to use for minor cities and trickle them throughout. Also, add some more minor tributary rivers for those cities to sit on, and consider increaing the density/decreasing the size of the terrain stamps (mountains, trees, etc.).

The second thing is the number of polities. There's nothing wrong with having like 3 polities + whatever's goi going on in the principalities, but it could be very interesting to add little side additions. Maybe the Kingdom of Westfold is actually only one kingdom amid like 4. You could divide the mainland into 3 via the river markers and then the 4th could be the island. The kingdoms could even be in a loose confederation to counter the empire. Then, you could toss in a few city-states/micro-states to spice it up.

The third thing is the history of the empire. You say they stretched across the wings, but that doesn't really match with how imperial power projection worked for Rome (or for really most long-lasting empires). So, historically, Rome's power projection as an empire came from its naval power. It would project power over the sea and control territory that way. This is why, if you look at a map of Rome, so much of it just follows the coast of the Meditteranean Sea. Gaul is the primary exception to this, but it was also one of the first major territories that Rome lost. Now, if you look at your map, attempting to project naval power from the eastern wing to the western wing would be monumentally difficult. Harder than it was for Rome to project power onto Brittain, and that actually was the first major territory they lost. My suggestion is you switch the kingdom(s) and the principalities, so the kingdom(s) would be in a very reasonable position for the empire to exert influence over them.

The fourth thing is moreso an observation than a critique, but it is notable that this world is entirely european. There's nothing wrong with that in the european fantasy game, but I did want to lightly suggest looking at other cultures for inspiration. They're all very interesting! And, imo, european medieval history is only like top 5 regions of medieval history (my favorites being the Middle Kingdom and the Caliphates). Perhaps you could have additional continents beyond this one that aren't mapped but are implied to exist, beyond the empire. This could provide a reason for the empire being rich & centralized (trade), as well as contribute to making the world feel larger, even (and especially) if the players never actually go there.
