I’ve watched Babylon 5 again in preparation for this series 😎❤️

It’s a great series 😊😎

Well, I’m definitely an OG nerd 😏😃

I didn't knew this element, beyond what is obvious. I know they have Conan (the Cimmerian created by Robert E Howard) as a source of inspiration. And I once noticed in the background of an episode of She-Ra an statue in a water fountain that strongly suggests to me some Gorean roots as well (it is a man capturing a woman, very John Norman style. And the public monument is in a random peasant village, nothing to suggest that was left there by the Horde). I also remember what I believe was the first episode of He-Man, that seemed a lot closer to Conan than anything else in the show. But I am not familiar with the original worldbuilding intended to the show. Those were better times, with less Specialist Professionals babbling pseudo-scientific rules about what children are supposed to be exposed to or not. Make sense to me that they could have elaborated a more interesting setting, despite the show being intended for young audiences mostly. Back them children could still read the Bible, Homer, and other very bloody tales without anyone think about if it was proper or not. Few people would dare to suggest editing the classics to make them less "problematic", by taking away things like violence, patriarcal notions, slavery and/or racism. Did they published this background elements at the time, or more recently?

@@thiagom8478 - they did an encyclopedia, episode guides and other books a few years ago that revealed a lot of the background stuff. Some of it did make it into licensed media at the time like comics and picture books. And the original run of minicomics that came with the toys had some of it. They did a collected edition of those.

Thanks, @@nagillim7915 .

It’s a very blurry line and one that I feel the world builder needs to draw in their story. I normally define tech as driven by science that someone in the world understands. Magic has something mysterious and inexplicable to it. Even if people in the world can use it, they don’t know everything about it. There’s a portion of it that just works this way or that way. Magitek is the gray and malleable border.

Glad your enjoyed it!

This was the principle of my science fantasy world. I built weird and wonderful creatures that have some science reason behind the way they look and their abilities(even if the science is shaky). So I have solar ants with glowing abdomens that shoot lasers and other crazy things like that (and there is a reason why they seem like earth creatures :) )

@@JustInTimeWorlds Gracias, aunque estaba pensando más en cosas cómo, por ejemplo: ¿Cómo se verán los animales, cómo unicornios y orcos, dentro de 5 millones de años?

@@elgordo107able ah! Well, that’s an interesting thought. It would depend on what makes them more likely to successfully procreate in the wild if they’re not domesticated and if they are domesticated, what the sentient species selects for in breeding them.

@@JustInTimeWorlds A lo mejor los unicornios podrían desarrollar poderes de fuego para sobrevivir a una glaciación o algo así.

My head went to final fantasy, but Zelda is also a great example

Speaking of The Legend of Zelda, there are similar robots in Skyward Sword in the ancient Lanayru region that used to mine time shift stones and can be reactivated with them. I heard these last 3 major games were directed or produced by the same person. @@JustInTimeWorlds

I'd forgotten about them :)

I actually just find it useful as a point of discussion. As I said in my video on hard vs soft magic systems, the debate is silly. The magic system of a world is whatever the author needs it to be. But when discussing broad strokes, it helps to thing in terms of "harder magic systems work better if you want to do this" and "softer magic systems work better if you want to do that". It's not an ideology, it's just a tool for categorization and discussion.
