So... I was tired yesterday, and I forgot to make a thread here... My bad! I'm working on the soft magic video right now to end this. I'm also going to discuss a bit about bad magic systems in it and parts of the differences between something being soft and something being bad, though I...

I'm glad to hear that! I like doing what I can to increase people's knowledge and understanding, regardless of their position in the equation.

...Now, I kind of want to make a system based on radioactive powers... Fallout crossed with superhe- ...As I typed that out, I recalled how much they have those comic characters in side quests.

I didn't say it was done perfectly; I just said I'd place it there with what it was going for, and you can see it when judging everything explored in the system. Issues with the execution of the magic system and what it is conceptually are two different things. Plus, what you speak of with...

The next part in the magic system series. This time I tackle systems that aren't hard magic, but closer on the hard spectrum to it. I feel this is what many who think of it actually make or want to make.

Already have that! :s_wink: I did find it super interesting.

This is the next part of my new series of magic system videos. After reflecting on some of my past work, I wanted to add something a bit new to the discussion again. I've had so many people ask me, "Is this magic system good?" after just dropping some description of things, and I have no way of...

This is a little project I've been working on with magic systems to conceptualize them better. I have more in-depth videos coming -- this is just an overview. Regardless, I'm hoping it can help people out when working on their own magic stuff.

I've dabbled around with this a bit, actually. I've used it more for marketing profiles, but did get a bit obsessed by The Explorer archetype when it comes to that stuff. I might come back around to this in the future, thank you for reminding me of it!

Seek someone competent who you trust and respect to work with you one-on-one.

Yes, yes I do. I streamlined a whole process out of it. Others can do whatever they want. I'm not going to say my approach is the only one that works, but I will say it does work for me.

I swerved into this topic a bit last minute, but it was fun getting this off my mind. Hopefully it can help those invested in stuff like this.

Also, yep!

There's quite a bit there for those who look.

Decided to tackle writing OP characters more now, from the perspective of "this is what I've noticed works." Hopefully it can help you out!

Wait, you were in RAOSR? Huh, I didn't expect to hear that today. :ROFLMAO: Who were you then? Regardless, I'm fairly certain I'm who you think I am then, as I often acted as I do now, even back then. Just a less "matured" version. Also, we have a group on Discord. If you wish to join, drop me...

Lt. Mary Sue started as a parody character to emphasize how flawed these characters are. So, the origins was, ironically, a Parody Sue. But yeah, Gary Stu and all that is redundant. I'm not going to waste my time going through shifting terminology for those who get upset about gender-related...

What if I did an episode on it? :s_wink:

I approach this from another angle, explaining how things can go wrong and why, and what to be careful of when writing strong, wish-fulfillment characters.

See my channel for the types of stuff I can provide. Here's a good sample.
