Game Notion

[rowyn]

ursulav made a teeny post featuring the painting title from a dream: "Two Ninjas Negotiating With An Earth Elemental To Buy Gravity." (never seen in the dream, sadly).

Now I want to do a magic system based on the premise of magic-users licensing from various elemental beings the right to use, abuse, and violate natural laws.

Your people have the negotiations part down to a science. :)

That's how you'd want it, isn't it? If you cheat gods, they probably cheat you back, worse.

If I lived there, certainly! If I'm just writing about it, not necessarily. The setting of a story has to be interesting, but it needn't be comfortable.. >:)

It will certainly be more exotic and fanciful if it's not.
