Space Colonization Motivation

While economically questionable, human migration will definitely occur when people get tired of having just one internet that's entirely bots.

Elevation Derivation

In order to figure out whether magic works better at high or low altitudes, you'll have to figure out if magic comes from the earth's core or the moon. Obviously it's going to come from both, right? But then you have to decide whether your main character wields both or neither, and that's going to depend on countless factors such as your mood. Actually that's the only one.

Addendum

Naturally, somebody stuck with a talking animal companion should belong to a different alignment for the contrast.

The New Elemental/Alignment/Power System

Dog, Cat, Bird, Rat. I think you all know what each signifies.

Ax Renaissance

I know many of you want to be daring iconoclasts by giving your main character an ax, but when it comes down to it, your courage fails you. All right, try this: The main character is a puppet character. The puppet has the ax. Boom!

A Fair Start For Posterity

"The kingdom flourishes! Piracy has been suppressed, bandits with few exception are dead or reformed, and the ancient evil has again been sealed. What is more, the treasury is at its capacity. Therefore, my subjects, your taxes for the next three years will be collected not in currency, but in items which future generations will find useful."

"But what about the chickens, fish, and things like that I find in ruins sometimes?"

Addendum

Regardless, a society constructed along such lines will eventually require a census to determine the size of each contingent, and oh boy, I bet the people responsible will get into some real fixes.

Pun Conundrum

Q. What do you call a society organized into tiers based on magical ability?
A. A cast system!

We all enjoyed that one, didn't we? But you can't put it into your setting, unless it's a Shadowrun-esque Earth, because there wouldn't be a caste system there, just a cast system, so if you tried to tell that joke everyone would supply the answer and not understand that it's humorous. It's hard sometimes.

Addendum

At least not a real one, if you know what I'm saying, and I think you do, but let's pretend we don't to set an example, deceptive as it may be.
