The problem there is for anyone in the habitable section of the world, there would be enough sunlight for the stars to be not visible. It doesn't make sense to travel up to a couple of thousand miles just to check what time of year it is by the stars. It is however feasible that one or two stars...

I can accept that. If that's all they see, that is all they would have to work with. If you accept an 80 year lifespan, which is 29,200 Earth days, that's 521 years for them. You're right in that the mindset would be more medieval. I'm already toying with Stone Circles being used to accurately...

Hi Moderators - please delete this thread! As stated, the message about moderator approval didn't show up for long enough to read first time, so I didn't know it hadn't worked. Now, although it says I can edit my post, I can't see any edit buttons to delete it!

Ahha. replies to existing threads are instant. New threads require admin approval, meaning they may not show up for a while. I may annoy a moderator by creating two threads now. If any admin sees this, please note: I posted the same new thread up twice, because the message about it not showing...

Hi All, Apologies if this shows up twice in some form. I posted it once before, but it didn't appear to work, and someone suggested I try again. Due to the length, there's no way it'll show up exactly the same. I'm creating a world for both writing and gaming. It's a planet, tide locked...

Is there any commonality with how long it takes for posts to be moderated before they go on the forum? I've posted a few times, the first couple haven't shown up yet, but the latest few have.

There's an anime I watch, called Fate: Stay Night. The title isn't great, but it's got a decent referece for this. If you know it, but haven't seen it and want to, stop reading now because SPOILERS! One of the main characters, referred to by the name "Saber" is a female knight in appearance...

It depends how over the top you think it is when Goku's hair turns golden, and his eyes turn green when he goes Super Saiyan. Does it require a bit of power to be able to see a ghost that hasn't truly manifested? When you use magical energy associated with ghosts, could it show as your eyes...

My short, instant answer, Yes. longer answer. I am a huge fan of werewolves. I've read several things about the old mythological aspects of werewolves, and the potential magical effects going on that might create an actual werewolf. In reading about this, I would always write my werewolves as...

I'm currently creating a form of "magic" which is only accessible to those who travel deep into dangerous cave networks and retrieve special stones. Those stones are then embedded under the skin, which then gives them access to certain energies. I haven't yet decided what kind of energies they...

Hi guys, I hail from the UK, and enjoy writing, but I've never got as far as actually finishing a story. I tried once, got to about 25k words before I hit an insurmountable block, in that I knew where I wanted the story to go, but I couldn't get it there without forcing it, and that would...

I'm creating a fantasy world, which is tide locked to its star. I've done some research on this, and I'm happy with my results, so that's not up for debate. What is though, is how the inhabitants of said planet would mark the passage of time. Key points; the planet is tide locked. That...
