Today's Topic So many worlds so little time

If you are like Michael you might be a bit confused by the name of this episode. These are a few ideas for worlds that I had though about last year. If you are new to worldbuilding, you might think that this is a long list. It is not. This does not include every world, just the ones that came to mind quickly. Join Michael and I as we look at how Jeff approaches the problem of having to many worlds and to little time.

I have always thought very utilitarian about creating the architecture for my fantasy setting. What do the people have? What do the people need? What is important to the people? However, I have come to the belief that I missed 2 very important considerations. Join Michael and Jeffery as they rethink architecture.

Today's Topic – Hallmark Christmas Movies are like a Romanic Fantasy Adventure, and no this in not a drinking game

I must admit something. I love Christmas movies. I have watched hours and hours of Hallmark Christmas movies. You might think they are horribly formulaic and they are. However, I have learned two very important lessons about them. They are great for learning structure for stories and they are … Fantasy movies.

1. Formulas are not evil
2. Making them familiar like family
3. Christmas is a community celebration, Family, and Faith
4. One of the leads use to love Christmas or the hidden Grinch
5. Love taking story inspiration from classics
6. The Big bad foe
7. Use Tropes for characters
8. Magic abound both high and low magic
9. If you do not worry if people know it is a formula you can crank out the work so have fun with it

This missed moment: Silly was used was not just because of Monty Python

1. Why I called them silly characters
2. Comedy has only come to mean everything that makes you laugh
3. The happy ending (Comedy) vs the sad ending (Tragedy)
4. Comedy verities can be used with characters or subplots resolutions to help pull back the tension from the main story you are trying to tell
5. Laughter is the most obvious way to counteract the tragic story tension building.
