Sorcery, Wizardry, Witchcraft, Psionics, and General Magic and Powers EditionFAQ:>What is worldbuilding?Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.>"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.>"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/ . We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.>"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"Yes, of course you can!>"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.Old thread: >>24567943

>>24740565But my native phonology doesn't have phonemic vowel length. You're giving me contradictory instructions. (Also what if your native language doesn't have a traditional pronunciation of Latin? Is it okay to use the traditional pronunciation of whatever language that has one you're most fluent in?)
>>24741395Wasn't it used as a written language by Jewish communities for a long time? There's an excerpt from the Even Bohan that I've read in translation and found intriguing.

write conscious is the only one i've heard openly admit to using /lit/he has shitloads of interesting videos on cormac mccarthy and david foster wallace, and every now and then puts out some engagement bait shit like where says female authors don't matter and he calls out mccarthy on being a pedo. also makes a lot of evangelical proclamations about a literary renaissance and is a bit of a hippy, but he does make a lot of interesting observations on good books.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu-E2pVae8g

>>24740623>13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.The only thing wrong here is your understanding of the religion in question. If you do these things out of love, and if you have that love in you to do these things and not lament your actions or in some distant future express grief at God for something you did then do these things; otherwise, do only as much as you can and as much as your love can afford you without losing your faith in God and in His justice. You do not have to live an ascetic lifestyle if you do not have the love in you to faithfully and truthfully suffer it.
Whoever is seething saying the God Delusion is cringe just gets filtered by Dawkings apalling personality & has never read it. He goes into extravagent depth with citations on everything and visciously debunks Christianity & Islam with archeological, geological, historical & other scientific evidence from every applicable field possible to the point where it becomes as blatently fake as Mormonism. He also dives into the church organizations themselves & their history of horrendous corruption. You will come out a changed person when you see religions. They are nothing but cults. It's a must read.
>>24743291Dawkins is the idiot for thinking gene expression doesn't depend on environment and development. It's just more fedora tipping 'were just atoms bro' thinking
>>24743111>geological>As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”Ironic

>His Principia Mathematica side hustle imploded. Gödel the God-fearing Christian ruined it.>He had epistemological trolls that any atheist Reddit neckbeard could have come up with and that were less sophisticated than those of Sextus Empiricus and Hume.>His theory of descriptions was completely unnecessary, a midwit answer to something only midwits see as a problem ("[Meinong] argued, if you say that the golden mountain does not exist, it is obvious that there is something that you are saying does not exist -- namely the golden mountain; therefore the golden mountain must subsist in some shadowy Platonic world of being, for otherwise your statement that the golden mountain does not exist would have no meaning. I confess that, until I hit upon the theory of descriptions, this argument seemed to me convincing.")>Even his stupid paradox in naive set theory that bears his name had been prefigured elsewhere in letters from Zermelo.>Continental scholars routinely demonstrated his misunderstandings of Continental philosophers, toward whom he had emotional, Anglocuck revulsions unbecoming of a thinker.

Everyone and their grandmas is ravenclaw nowadays. Due to the huge inflation in ravenclaw members i decided to be Hufflepuff
>>24742823if the judicial system repeatedly fails to publish a violent criminal who goes on to kill, like DeCarlo Brown, his victim was to all practical purposes executed by the state without even the nicety of a trial.

>>24743150>not Krleza
I find myself sympathetic to Tyler. Mormon cult parents, a homophobic society, autistic. And then you have a toxic fascist society that wants to feed him to the wolves. What other stories are told from the perspective of those hated by an evil blood thirsty corrupt society. I’m aware of the Jesus and the New Testament gospels along with Grendel. Any other suggestions?

>>24734479You enter reality is fakeYour entire worldview and reality is a lie. People are not god. You are not god. People do not control or determine reality. The people in power do not control or determine reality. People are not equal. People are not blank slates, people are not inherently good noble savages, people are not perfectible, people are not rational and rationally disconnected from their environment. There is no realm of higher purely rational thought disconnected from emotions and impulses. People and society cannot be improved through social engineering by leftist collage educated experts, managerial bureaucrats, or the state.Progress is not inherent to reality. Reality is not entirely and fundamentally material. reality is not fundamentally dead but alive and consciousness and responsive and evolving. Reality is not fundamentally only literal. Reality is not fundamentally and only rational. Reality is not fundamentally disenchanted. The divine and spiritual is real. the meak are not more moral than the great, morality and greatness are two different dimensions of reality. Weakness and tolerance are not virtuous. Everything just is what it is. Reality is inherently mysterious. Self loathing is just as evil as hubris. Your entire worldview is just a rationalization for the ruling managerial class and the totalitarian state to gain ever increasing amounts of power and turn people into cogs. Your entire worldview is just lying and stealing and parasitism. Your entire worldview is just a way to deny reality and evade responsibility and remain immature and evil and not grow up and be virtuous and responsible and act like an actual fucking adult.
Why is there so much christian literature and apologetics and written material but very little that supports islams? It seems like there is the quran and the hadiths, but they didn't have people like aquinas that could properly articulate their beliefs. Why is that?pic related, historical account of muslims not being practiced in rhetoric
Because to believe in Islam, you must also believe in the swathe of retarded claims Islam makes about other religions that are much older than it. A patchwork of retcons from a half-baked understanding of Judaic-Christian traditions, crafted to accommodate the plots of an Arab warlord who used sharp tongues and blades to unite people around him.It is, at its core, a religion of liars. You must constantly suspend belief to be a Muslim. Take their holy text: the Muslims say “the Quran is a perfect divine book!” But also, in that same Quran, it says there’s proof of Muhammad in the gospels and Torah, it’s just in this LOST TEXT called the Injeel…..(like those lost plates of Joseph Smith). If the Quran is perfect, why mention the Injeel? Why doesn’t the Quran contain that pretty crucial knowledge?Muslims know it is ridiculous. You have to deliberately misunderstand religions 600 years older than Islam to be a believer. You have to ignore Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah, even though there are secular historical sources confirming how ancient Jews complained about this “cult of Nazarene.” Strange thing to care about if Jesus was “just a prophet.”Not to mention the Hadith is a complete mess. I wouldn’t even want to imagine having to do apologetics for these dune dwellers. A bargain bin religion.
