From the Pond's inhabitants point of view they might as well be, perhaps they are regarded as semi-mythical being given their size and influence on the water's flow, even more so sine they keep the trees in check

They live quite a bit downstream judging from the map and maybe they prefer to swim on the other side of their dam so they don't really come into contact with the inhabitants of the pond

>>93432348
The only space age setting I've run is Star Trek, but I've fleshed out the Federation political system for plot reasons.
Each member of the faction delegates one representative to the Federation Council, the governing legislative body. The Federation works similarly to the EU in that each member has sole authority over their own internal affairs, but there are conditions for joining and a faction can be removed if they renege on those conditions or voluntarily leave. Factions with colony planets do not get additional representatives unless those colonies are fully independent from the home world to the point where they join the Federation as a separate entity.

The main political concerns internally therefore revolve around those colonies: home worlds may resist releasing control over their colony planets, who wish to have equal voice as an independent faction. At the same time some factions consider whether to game the system and have many of their colonies join independently to ensure more of a voice for their species, even if it means less power for the home world. This is by design, as it's part of the Federation's own process for bringing its own colony worlds into the Federation as independent members. The main reason why this came up is for a plot about how one species' colony world was agitating so badly for independence, and the home world being so stubborn in refusing, that it risked causing a full blown war of independence. While it would mean the species would be temporarily suspended, both sides in the conflict saw it as "means to an end" and it was the players' jobs to help find a peaceful solution to the diplomatic crisis (and stop the Romulans who were dicking around, as Romulans do).

I have the full writeup is too long to easily post here (I made a fluff document to go with the homebrew rule that goes in the details about the conflict), but long story short is that the Hierarchy started the war with false assumptions, thinking it would be a short and popular war for the old Hierarch to increase his support in the military, as he was afraid his age abd the growing popularity of his son would lead to him being pressured to abdicate the throne. He assumed a portion of a single provincial fleet would steamroll the humans with no major issue.
Instead the Demosian found out that after their war of independence from Earth most of the former colonies had maintained large, highly trained and motivated planetary defense forces and were extremely dedicated to defending their freedom. Initially the Hierarchy did sweep through poorly developed border worlds without issue, but when they reached more developed worlds they suddenly found themselves against millions of fanatical defenders and extremely heavy surface-to-orbit defences. Additionally the seemingly easily conquered worlds started experiencing issues with the defenders who had gone to ground during the initial invasion starting guerrilla campaigns against the invaders.
The Hierarchy could have won by throwing so many troops in the meat grinder that they would overwhelm the humans with sheer numbers, but much of their military capacity was tied to defending their other borders and keeping conquered alien species in line. They were still making slow progress and would have won eventually, when the Ni-hir, the Hierarchy's main rivals, started supplying the humans with ships and raw materials. The Hierarch was incensed and ordered an orbital bombing run against a Ni-hir border world as a warning for them to back off, but that had the exact opposite effect as it caused the Council of Queens to vote for allowing direct military actions against the Hierarchy.

Moorcock nailed it way back when he said that as other fiction explores the universe around us, fantasy is an exploration of our inner worlds. Realism is the biggest meme and cancer on the genre. The best fantasy authors have always been those who avoid super autism in details (of any kind - world, "realism", or even plot) and embrace mood, theme and character foremost.

And yet despite us doing this since the fucking 20s, and codifying it in the 60s and 70s, we keep fucking up.

What's your setting's justification for why the PC's are so much stronger than your typical NPC grunts? Some fantasy settings such as Exalted and Fire Emblem have things like the exaltations and crests designed to set certain people up to be extra powerful and special which explains how they're able to defeat scores of lesser enemies, but not all settings do this which leads to questions of why a high level Fighter is able to defeat so many regular NPC soldiers.

Idk why but Gnomes are from Newfoundland and they just try and build intractable pine and stone obstacles to keep Dragonmen and kobolds out because they don't care for fighting.

Dragonmen, being very martial and seeking glory oversee Kobolds like Centurions, with drawn up battle plans and inspiring speeches (and the occeasional threat). In spite of their occasional cold blooded cruelty they lead by example and always happily enter the fray, war being a form of prayer.

>or get accused of being woke?
Having gay characters exist is 'woke'. This happened to Mr. Birchum, a 'conservative' adult cartoon made by the Daily Wire. And the only reason they had a gay character in that show was to showcase that being conservative doesn't automatically make you homophobic (despite using the character to make stereotypical joke).

ANYWAY:

My pet peeve is when authors transplant modern social commentary on historical or fictional settings. Now- if it's a fictional setting where say Gay Marriage was legalized in the past decade, like in our world, I think it would be appropriate to have that sort of similarity. If it's say, Edwardian England, then fucking no you are defeating the whole point of setting in that era in the first place.

Historians have a saying- the past is like a foreign country. Not just with the gays but in general we need to be careful not to project our understanding of society onto it. People viewed things in different ways. For example- the Romans thought that you were gay only if you were on the bottom during sex, because it meant you wanted to have sex in 'the position of the woman' which was only because you secretly wanted to be a woman. Notably- the Romans didn't have the concept of consent. This means that if you are fucking a man, so long as you are on top you are straight.

As for the middle ages, the nobility mostly did whatever it wanted, but you didn't want to show off that you had a gay lover (unless you were the Emperor of China who did, but the Emperor gets to do whatever the fuck he wants). Gay trysts were accepted on the downlow, though still viewed as licentious activity (as was all sex that wasn't done purely for the sake of procreation, in the dark, with your wife, holding hands), but so long as you sired an heir to keep the bloodline going you were fine.
(cont.)

>>93449064
After all- the nobility married for politics, not love. So the idea that you'd be physically attracted to your wife was seen as a happy coincidence if it ever happened in the first place. Likewise there wasn't the idea of gender fluidity, men and women had strictly different gender roles that were strictly enforced. Not to say it didn't happen, just that you wouldn't be so open and flamboyant about it. Actors notably played the roles of women and were often seen as both effeminate and licentious, not unlike today but worse. And of course you had women crossdressing to join the army in every known war in history, now some of those would have been motivated by patriotism or adventure, but probably a few wanted to do something real MANLY.

Also- the catholics diddled as many choir boys back then as now, so. Dante even finds one of his old schoolteachers on one of the levels of hell for that exact reason, but it's treated as a 'oh those incorrigible priests' type of thing.

Anyway- general writing advice is that it's important that ones sexuality isn't their sole defining personality trait. This bothers the homo's and the hetero's equally and it's just bad writing. The better way to think about it is think about what their personality is and how that either informs or is informed by their sexuality. If someone is an angry character is that related to sexual frustrations? If they're mopey is it because they have a sense of impotency behind them? Or are they a hedonist and fuck freely as they please?

Honestly the really shitty thing about prerelease is that nobody has the token cards for the tokens they're pumping out so it's always just "okay remember that this face-down card is an offspring of this one guy and this d6 is two Fish and this empty sleeve is a Food."

So much this. Next time I do one of these events I'm bringing a stack of post-it notes and a pen to just create tokens on the fly.

>old days

newfag, I didn't play for 15 and I did fine when I returned.

Yes, some board stalls are shit but they are made shitter by dumb players, players who don't know when it's actually fine for them to trade off creatures and predict blocks, or just dumping their hand when they shouldn't.

Lots of my games today actually were just like "turn 5, I put down my big 5/5 dude", sure some complicated abilities latched on too unlike the old days but generally they just seem more complicated than they are due to having to word things accurately.

Sounds like even the players you were losing to were noobs. Protip for next time, take more removal (Commander players who come out to play mtg at prereleases always undervalue removal because they are forbidden to use it in their meme format), even if it doesn't win you the game, at least you will lose faster.

Well yes, coincidentally, every person I played today was like "this is the first one of these I've been to in years and/or ever", it seems bloomburrow lured in a lot of people, which is great, but I also don't think a lot of people were having very much fun.

I hadn't been to a paper prerelease since I think War of the Spark but everyone seemed to be having a good time at mine. There were a lot of matches going to turns, though. Not mine because I had fliers so my matches took <25 minutes at the high end.
