    Poll: Would You Like to Live Forever?

    That is indeed a question worth asking. Maybe alongside questions like 'Were they tested for adverse effects?' and 'Will you stay young or age and just not die?'. Personally, I'd probably add 'Do you have other biomancy procedures in your portfolio I could take beforehand (or afterward, if the...

    Poll: Is a Hotdog a Sandwich?

    Going purely by the definition, Burgers are indeed sandwiches, and personally I am inclined to agree. Especially since it means I can claim to have sandwiches when I get neat stuff like Leberkässemmel or, if we also agree on the hotdog, Drei im Weggla, which sounds so much healthier to outsiders.

    Recommendations Looking for fantasy with romance

    What about Isekai and BR-stuff that switches between VR and RL? Reborn as a Basic Barista Ryn of Avonside Stuff by QuietValerie gets sappy af once the romance gets going (though she likes to add a lot of action too), and outside Kammi Kettu so far has avoided the hard tragedy side of things...

    Magic and Science Light novels

    True. A hard magic system will ultimately be explainable by science, even if the author doesn't include that angle. By their very nature, soft magic will have a hard time being consistent enough to formulate the laws it follows, let alone theories to explain it. I qlso just realized that a lot...

    Exploring steampunk

    Bioshock 1 and 2 used a lot of typical Art Deco elements, so it'd be best placed there as well. And apparently there is such a thing as Decopunk. Bioshock 3 used neoclassical architecture and of course everything colonial America as a (visual) inspiration. Technology wise, they're all over the...

    real world rituals

    Some cultures still perform female genital mutilation, which is pretty vile. Not that the more common and accepted male variant is much better, if you ask me, though the medical risks are smaller as far as I know and it can have benefits if the general living situation has hygienic limitations...

    Tittle or Term

    There are many options, depending on how the powers work or where they come from. Wizard, Mage or Sorcerer all work for standard magic, though all have their connotations especially in our world where D&D exists. If the powers are based on the channeling of some external power (be it an...

    Why don't they write proper synopses?

    There are two extremes: Two or three sentences that tell us basically nothing about the story besides the fact that it's Isekai (for example) Basically a chapter's worth of synopsis that may or may not tell me what the story is about Personally, I'd like to at least get an idea of what a story...

    Villain as MC, Let's Discuss

    Sounds a lot like a redemption arc to me, or at least the rough direction sounds similar. It's a valid choice to write a villain-protagonist, but not the only one. It's equally valid to write an unsympathetic villain-protagonist, or even a total monster.

    So... the cover I made for my somwhat spicy fantasy space opera?

    Way better than the last versions, there was a serious oversaturation of insignia of incongruent styles and origins. Maybe we should clarify which part of the text is which, just so we are on the same page going forward: The title seems to have changed from 'Lady Commander Ava Ryder - A...

    So... the cover I made for my somwhat spicy fantasy space opera?

    Oh, since we're all focusing on the text here, I'd like to add that I like the image itself.

    What’s your favorite weapon?

    I was about to say that Silence is an Energy, not a chain weapon, but then I looked at the models again and it has indeed a small section of chainblade at the tip. That's like, their whole MO.

    So... the cover I made for my somwhat spicy fantasy space opera?

    It's a bit hard to talk about ships if we don't know any characters though. Obviously there is the Lady Commander, Ava Ryder if I managed to read that right, but how could I decide who her girlfriend should be if I don't have any names, let alone backstory and characterization.

    What’s your favorite weapon?

    OK, if we're going to that scale, how about one of these:

    What’s your favorite weapon?

    Hot, that's what she's called. And as other brought up, the weapon is a warhammer, going into horseman's pick territory by the length of the spike, if we want to be more precise. I'm generally partial to polearms of all kinds, especially the bec de corbin or the Lucerne hammer, which are longer...

    Been checking out some of the Lesser known DnD races...

    Gnolls are humanoid hyenas. Female hyenas have ... equipment ... that surpasses that of males, are typically larger and more dominant. I would assume that almost everyone that would play a Gnoll is either a furry or at least familiar with the culture and has absorbed this bit of tangential...

    Just be aware that everyone that plays a male Gnoll is probably a bottom.

    Putting together a history of time-loop plots.

    Oh, I just remembered Stargate SG1 had a time loop episode: 'Window of Opportunity' Only two of the characters remember the loops and have to convince everyone else time and time again. Also, both of them Surpass the local linguist in the alien language of the machine the causes the loop (which...
