Human Shield
Augur
The talk at the TES thread got me thinking. What is the best balance between new'ness and down to earth?
Wouldn't a lore that makes sense eventually copy events of human history? The same elements of war and balance of power is there.
Some people like magic that does lots of stuff, but this can make the setting harder to stay consistent. And others like more relateable worlds.
Wouldn't historical events be good to twist into a fantasy setting, such as the leading empires finding a new continent.
How different can technology get? The same forms of rifles and tanks show up, is it worth it to throw in artificial differences that don't make much sense? What would dwarf and elf company cars look like?
