    Pondering other worlds, whether those be the distant worlds in our own universe, or the worlds we can enter through the stories of others.

    Speaking of which, here are some worlds/stories that I like, in no particular pattern or order (though this is probably in need of some updating):
    The Cosmere
    Avatar: The Last Airbender
    The Legend of Zelda
    The Xenoblade Chronicles series
    Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and adjacent books
    Project Hail Mary
    The Remembrance of Earth's Past
    Dune
    Interstellar
    Arrival
    Inception
    Tenet
    Princess Mononoke
    Castle in the Sky
    Fullmetal Alchemist
    Star Wars
    ...And probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting. This list is not comprehensive.

  1. Idea for an RP:

    On Scadrial, after the events of TLM, Basin society develops into an economic and cultural state similar to that of the roaring twenties in our own world. Some social norms are relaxed and an age of prosperity comes to almost all, but especially the rich.

    However, hoping to avoid further crime surges such as that of the Set in decades prior, (and in preparation for possible conflict with the South) Elendel's government passes laws that restrict the distribution of certain goods such as weapons, allomantically viable metals, and liquor. This serves a similar purpose to the prohibition era.

    While many people take these changes in stride, others are... dissatisfied. An underground market starts to form in Elendel and the surrounding basin, one that penetrates even the upper reaches of the nobility.

    The RP would center around the characters entangled in this semi-illegal dance of business, intrigue, action, and espionage, and how they live their lives in a changing world where supposed "freedom" from legal restrictions sometimes brings chains of it's own, and where great risks are taken at the prospect of great reward.

    Spoiler

    Totally not inspired by that one webcomic I didn't think I'd get super into...

    I do have a few other RP ideas, one that happens on Earth in the 1920's or 30's with a VERY different plot, one that involves supernatural horror-esque stuff in the modern age, and one that involves the crew of an interstellar exploration vessel.
