Not many stories have both adventurers (who would organize in an adventurers guild) and a big enough focus on other trades to actually bother showing off their respective guilds. At least for me, the default assumption is that there are guilds for most trades, they are just not relevant for the...

Yes, because the etymology of a word is such a good indication if it is derogatory or not. The n-word basically just means black, so it's just fine, right? The mere idea that another species, even a potentially related one, is named whatever-human takes away part of their agency and enforces an...

If we're being honest, it should probably be considered a derogatory term and preference should be given to the name a people labelled demihuman gives themselves. That counts for basically every setting I can think of. Especially since it's often used as a catch-all term for everyone except...

No, Magical Girls are Liches (Lichesses?), though with a surprisingly good skincare routine. Just look what happens if you throw away their transformation trinkets. Merlin also ages backwards, so in his case the last 30 years by our perception count. Also, he's a half-demon, so perhaps...

Most of the answers so far use the D&D classifications, but ultimately it depends on the setting. In some it's a difference in specialization (e.g. Wizards use elemental magic, Sorcerers use arcane magic), in others alignment (e.g. Warlocks and Sorcerers are evil, Wizards and Mages good), in...

A tarnished copper or silver coin is still a copper or silver coin though. And if you think only gold or platinum would work, what is stopping you from using them (well, except maybe access to suitable acids to get pure platinum in the first place)?

Good point, the first thing on this topic (as with so many others) should really be defining what the terms we use actually mean. Monsters can be many things, depending on the setting, basically hyperaggressive animals (with magic abilities), animals corrupted by some form of magic, malevolent...

Have you ever read something like a Choose your own Adventure book? Because those are often written in second person perspective.

Fixed that for you.:biggrin_s: This.

So basically half the movies that come out of Hollywood and are not outright romances? I've not watched too many movies recently, it might have gotten better.

1.: Ainz from Overlord is a normal guy that gets transported into another world as his OP MMORPG character. With the full guild headquarter full of NPCs who come to life and think of him as a god. He's insanely OP when it comes to fighting and battle tactics (when he is prepared), but not really...

Certain topics can be extremely intense in 2nd person. I would have to look through my list, but thereiis a story with mind control/alterstion in that perspective on SH, which I found pretty intense. In the end, the execution is the hard part, and plenty of stories fail that even with 1st and...

Would a prehensile tongue be counted as a limb in this case? If so I would add that to the suggestions above.

Schneizel has entered the ring.

Potentially relevant: Honestly, if you're unsure you should put it up. Better safe than sorry and all that.

Ki is actually really strange in the way it is usually used. In a way it's mana used for spells, but it's also part of a leveling system where it serves as XP, with the size of the mana pool being a determining factor for the level. Add to that that both leveling and specific techniques grant...

I see your and raise with Man, the age of the Cold-One Riders models really shows, really hope they get an update. I actually love the design (though the Saurus should probably sit a bit further back), but it's just so apparent how much better technology got between these two units. So a...

One of the webcomics I like to read recently started a commented rerun, and had a comment on one of the early pages regarding exposition that fits in naturally (and I really love how well this works in the story). Really, a full infodump simply should not happen, if it can be avoided in any way...

Try to get a steady supply of dry ice, water and some lights and create a bunch of spooky glowing fog around the place.
