    I don't get the arguments for bioessentialism

    not disagree, Just don't understand. PC species feel different and part of the reason they think differently is because of their physiology. Using my rpg concepts to try to figure it out. 1. If you play a Feylin, one of the ongoing themes is building your life around pulp culture. It creates...

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    Yeah. At this point, unless you're actively selling something, we're doing this for the entertainment of others and ourselves. There's a good chance your work is better than the published material. So have fun and keep the creativity coming. :D

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    yeah It's easier to nitpick than to create. And when they say "why don't you write about your own cultures" (looks at Canada worldbuilding and Kaylna country in particular), I have. :cool: Now show me yours... ******************************** Lathoan, I'm envisioning it as a whole country...

    It's more uncertain about their response and reach if you upset them with something you've written, even if unintentional.

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    Ooh, this is good stuff. Well done. I think fantasy China should be a melting pot, but instead of just ethnicities, species from all over the world end up in China ...and then become Chinese. I think it would be a great way to see how the culture would look through different eyes and see how...

    I'm like a vampire, I need to be invited first before I go ahead with any writings. I'll consider this an invitation to proceed. :)

    Since you guys are pretty good at this sort of media, I remember in the back of my head some movie that could be described as journey to the west on a train. It was about in the late 2000s ********************************* but yeah a fantasy asia should be incredibly diverse in cultures, if...

    ok question How much can you actually do when writing up a fictional China before you trigger the PRC? I've had this writeup for my own work on my hard drive for years that I was itching to post, but been hesitant to avoid ending up on a list.

    well apparently they have as much common with ninjas as the samurai pizza cats, but what the hey. when you can do the truth or the legend, do the legend. :D

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    The thing I was told is to try to stay away from stereotypes, but honestly, some of them are awesome. One of the more fun things I read recently is that one of the larger ninja clans is located in Calgary, Alberta (where in my head canon, they feud with the Harts :p) If I ever do...

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    I believe any creator with a vision should have the freedom to create. If they are from the culture in question, bonus points, but it's more critical for locals of an area to have buy-in, than the writers themselves.

    ok some brainstorming Petan: The Transylvania of Kara-Tur (Framing Overview) Petan is the borderland between the cursed jungles of the Old World and the windblown badlands of the Horseclans. It is whispered about in hushed tones by merchants, feared by spiritual guides, and studied obsessively...

    I remember reading somewhere that Thailand and the Indochina area in general were the Transylvania from the east, but have been unable to confirm the source. How could we make a land like that?

    Is it kinda the equivalent of "take a penny, leave a penny?"
