Questionable Questing

Do they have to drink certain potions during pregnancy, have sex with random spirits or entities, or is it a whole ritual? And how dangerous is birthing an ogre considering birthing a regular human has been described as passing a watermelon down there by my sisters? lol.

Potions I like and sex with spirits is good as Hags are akin to spirits of Old Magic embodied in flesh. Not dangerous for them because they are The Witches. The archtype of the fairy godmother and advisors to kings, companions of heroes, and guardians of villages.

Weres are spirits of monsters and dire beasts who take on human shape. Need different term than Skinwalker. They like to dance, party, and sing. And you better invite them in to sing if you want them to stay polite and keep on their flesh mask. While back on Tormathi, they didn't have magic before they became the Tormathi.

The extradimensional aliens channeled the cosmic energies of the Godstars into tech. It is when they meet with the human groups of the setting they'd fuse with that practices of Magic their shamans and magi had would be used to harness the powers of the Godstars directly. Creating the first holy prophets of the Tormathi canon

Changelings a classic for a reason, but you could also do shifter, wanderer, or mimic. Or if you want to be accurate, the Navajo Native American tribes called it Yee Naaldlooshii which roughly translates to English, By means of it, it goes on all fours.

I do not want to use native american anything. Don't got the research to use it correctly nor do I want to touch any duty to do it right.

Wanderer something has potential

Andy333

But dancing, singing, drinking, and partying? Kind of sound like those old folklore stories on Gnomes, Dwarves, or a Brownie, where if you don't give it proper tribute in treats or alcohol outside your door they'll find a way into your house to cause mischief when you're not looking.

I'm thinking of going to sleep soon. But I'm glad we were able to talk at least for a little while and I could give you some ideas. Hopefully it all clears up for me this weekend. This past week and a half has not been fun.

You enjoy chatting Tormathi and this?
And Wyldblood a good one for skinchangers?

Andy333

It has some fun ideas. Only problem is it has a lot of them, and It'll be a little difficult to integrate them smoothly in a way the audience can understand. And Wyldblood can work, but I'll be honest it does feel like a name a Young Adult fantasy/erotica story would use. lol.

Hey how day and want link to new Quest and last interlude? Also, what the issue of integration for you

Andy333

Would love a link. And with integration, it's just a lot of information about this setting you have to transmit to the readers in a very short time. If you were doing it from the very start it would be one thing, but since your using your old quest with all its character/plot development as a backdrop my concern is that it won't give you enough time to develop everything.

Andy333

Basically Hurrik is already this fully fledged character with his own history, relationships, background, beliefs, the whole taco and not only are we transforming him into a new world but you're also fundamentally changing a lot of that background information. That's not going to be easy.

Some things are being rehashed as players vote on Hurik's path

Post in thread 'A Bastard's Glory - An ASOIAF/D&D3.5 Sequel Thread(AU Jon Snow) - CLOSED' https://forum.questionablequesting....thread-au-jon-snow-closed.30230/post-10750031

At end of interlude link to new quest

Andy333

I'm still curious why you made your own setting. I know you said you didn't want to keep writing smut when it wasn't as fun for you as the world building and character stuff, but what was your breaking point for breaking away from ASOIAF entirely?

Bob is bob

Wanting thay feeling of ownership. Command. Absolute responsibility and credit.

The feeling of me and Jackal did something unique and it is loved. We are doing wild shit we never did as fully in ASOIAF

Andy333

I get that. When ever I write on one of my stories or quests, I'm always telling myself this is the last one. This is the last test before you write your actual book, then call up your cousins and a couple other family members/friends to use their connections to get it published. Finally become a professional writer like you've always wanted. lol.

Andy333

But I know I'm not ready yet. Still need a little more practice. Although I'm getting close, and I know I always mean it but genuinely. I think in another six months or a year I will have my own original something published somewhere. Being this sick has really given me the opportunity to see my old work, and see just how far I've gone and changed.
