Hydra009


This is the guy who's in charge of US taxes, insurance, rent, and every single app on your phone.  Especially the ones that crash whenever you find what you're looking for or get really spammy with notifications.

He also makes it so that online purchases have a "convenience fee".

But his favorite thing is to make new installments of popular books/tv shows/movies that absolutely no one wanted and deviate wildly from the source material.  It's like the saying goes, if it ain't broke, fix it.  Fix it now.  Always be fixing.  Add random stuff so you feel like you're contributing, then get bitter about fans not liking it and say that they're unpleasable.  Yep, the people who were thoroughly pleased with the franchise before you are unpleasable, that tracks.

Two types of worldbuilders:


1) Those who pour over every little detail and have serious knowledge of several real disciplines to the point of inventing actual languages for their fantasy worlds.

2) People who "thought it would be cool" and didn't really put a whole lot of thought into it.

Personally, I'm putting some effort into it - the desert mining town is going to import almost all of their food but export metals, the breadbasket area is going to export lots of food, the craggy industrial town is going to import food and metals but export steampunk inventions.  And yes, I have considered what would happen if magic were used for more practical purposes than slaying monsters.  And yes, you can bet that roads within an empire are going to be much better than roads near the frontier/marches.

But yeah, people may occasionally say "OK" even though that's wildly out of place for actual medieval history.  But this isn't actual medieval history, this is fiction.  Also, it's part of a really funny surname pun, so you're just going to have to live with it.  Very relaxed, basic speech for the most part, so no "forsooth", "thee/thou/thine",  etc.  And people are generally going to survive childbirth and be literate, which also isn't completely accurate.  And yes, there will be chocolate because if there's no chocolate in the world, it's not worth saving.  Trust me, you don't want a 100% accurate medieval world.

And yes, I have considered people using magic for practical purposes.  There's just not a lot of wizards to go around, and they're very, very, very busy people.  *cut to wizards studying at the tower for decades, sipping hot chocolate, getting into pedantic arguments, and secretly studying forbidden dark magic*
