[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9363985, member: 7034710"] i'd really love if they tried to really extrapolate how other species cultures would logically differ from human society stemming from their own biological traits, similar to that, oh i forget what it's called but there was a thought experiment setting that tried to look at how a world would actually develop if things like teleportation circles and plant growth all those other magics that logically should have a massive impact on society did have the impact they should. (edit found it, it was the tippyverse) like for elves who only need to trance for 4 hours a day, maybe that might create a whole 24 hour society where everything is open all the time and instead of having dedicated bedrooms there are little bubble room motels that you check in for 4-hours at a time that are treated more like public benches, and the idea of shutting everything down for nearly half of the day so people can [I]sleep[/I] is insanely inefficient to them, how does your entire species being resistant to charm effects influence their society maybe dwarves with darkvision, tremmorsense and an innate constant knowledge of just how far underground they are, resulting in pitch black cities where the only light is from the fires of the smelting forges, where colour is a near alien concept to them as is logically inked writing, but record things in texture and sound or halflings, what would be the results of a species having nigh-supernatural luck [I]and they know it[/I] [/QUOTE]
