Alicornutopia

Though I generally enjoy a lot of glowfic-type stuff, "Squee!" isn't an especially common reaction for me. That being said...

If I keep discovering new layers at this rate, in five years I'll be usurping entire pantheons of actual deities.

This made me Squee!

Gravy guns are theoretically possible but not especially practical, like jetpacks. If you want your space-warping to overcome a force, such as the atomic and subatomic bonds holding the enemy ship together, that massively increases the power requirements. Two things. 1: That's not the point of a ...

This sounds sort of like Eclipse Phase, but with Trek-type FTL.

Still, colour me intrigued, since that's clearly the word-of-the-day.

Regarding Echo Bazaar, to quote the intro of Sunless Sea: Three decades ago, in the reign of Victoria, London was stolen by bats. Now it lies a mile below the surface. It was dreadfully inconvenient for everyone. This should, in and of itself, tell you whether you're interested in the setting ...

I'm familiar with Fallen London and Sunless Sea, and would totally be up for doing things in that universe.

My read was that she did get knighted, as an infant; that's exactly what was happening when she was basically kidnapped. Hence why she was the kind of person who'd really WANT a deathsbane sword.

Incidentally, for worldbuilding purposes, here's a primer on Mad Science. Geniuses, or 'the Inspired', are scientists who have been driven mad by exposure to something beyond their comprehension. Inspiration seems to burn away some of who the Genius was before, leaving them a somewhat different ...

It is, and that's a possible name, certainly. Super-science may qualify, depending on the setting; Mad Science specifically does, because it's explicitly a case of "I reject your reality and substitute my own", orthogonal to actual Mage spells. Mutant powers are a different flavour than Andre's ...

Sunshine worlds, in particular; Andre is extremely likely to find himself involved in Witchcraft or evil cults where they exist to be a thing. More generally, in any other world where magical instruction (or the use of other special powers) is a more personal thing (like Alethia, which would invoke ...
