While many have dreamed of dragon mounts, the fact of the matter is that dragons are simply undomesticable. For your homework, I want you to list all the criteria that makes domestication possible and why dragons pretty much fail in every category.

ok I did a module on domestication in my undergrad so let's see, we've got

quick maturing - not in D&D RAW

able to find food in/around human settlements - yes, once

hardiness - yes

herd dynamics - big no

ease of reproduction in captivity - uncertain

bonus : can be kept in captivity in the first place - not for long

How did I do? - Paper

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

imagine if you will, a fairly dry survival crafting game in which you live in a bunker and must periodically venture out to scavenge food, set up turrets for attacking monsters, etc

now, your computer inside the bunker has a game-inside-a-game on it which is a charming farming sim of undeniably greater quality and scope than the survival game you're playing. therefore, the object of the game becomes to keep your bunker secure so you can play the farming game more.

now, once you achieve the highest rating in the farming game, a secret shop inside it unlocks, and one of the novelty items you can purchase is a game console, giving you access to games-inside-a-game-inside-a-game. most of the games for it are typical mobile shovelware, but one of them is a highly polished, extremely brutal precision platformer with amazing level design and production values exceeding that of the survival game and farming sim combined.

it is only at this point that the purpose of this entire contrivance becomes clear: to create the most deranged speedrun community the world has ever seen.

Just finished the earthsea books, and i kept thinking about your work. Also spoke to my father in law who is fascinated by the conan the barbarian books/their cultural impact and he brought up the idea of stories where characters arent really the arbiters of their story but experience them, and it made me think about your characters like chique or roger who are plopped into stories as they occur, in a non a to b overarching plot structure. You exist in a long arc of fantasy authors, and i hope youre proud of it because youre so good at what you do.

sometimes you just want to write a one-off adventure! but also god the conan stories are fucking hilarious. conan himself refuses to be normal in stories about him. sometimes the story is actually about a prince of thieves who eats shit ten minutes after meeting conan. sometimes it's a murder mystery procedural and then conan starts swinging when somebody lies in front of him. it's great. i love that guy. he's like a tiger to me.
