Been really into worldbuilding recently.
Here are my thoughts on making fantasy things with realistic science:
Making fantasy races that are just hybrids of different types of hominid. I'm talking dwarves being sapiens+erectus, halflings being sapiens+rudolfensis, etc.
Want to make cool magic rocks, with no magic? Radioactivity and electricity exist.
Dragons? Dinosaurs and other ancient creatures such as plesiosaurs and pterodons. For smaller dragons, archeopteryx is a cute dino you could use.
- Druid: idrk, but you could try to draw inspo from certain religions such as p/ganism and h*lpol
- Barbarian: Warrior/Soldier
- Bard? A guy/girl who started a band in highschool.
Here's an example of my progress (feel free to take inspiration)
Thats all for now, but I might reblog this with a followup post later.
