Something about a factory screams awe. That behind the single manufactured object in your hand it went through a myriad of locations, people, processing, and logistics to make its way to where it is from disparate resources.
There’s a lot of different settings and tropes of porting romantic fantasy elements (nobles, knights, monks) into sci-fi. What modern day thing or sci-fi concept would you have ported into a fantasy setting? Not just tech (still can be), but more societal/tradition, government.
What’s your take on “The good noble/tyrant” trope? Not necessarily your examples or plays off of it (though feel free to share), but is it a severe plague on any kind of fictional steep hierarchy? “Great power comes with great responsibility”, just political instead of super.
Something about inherited hi-tech in sci-fi, has the same vibe of passed down magic items. All the usual Clark tech explanations work sure, but where is passing down something mundane fit in? As in, why that feeling of passing a really cool torch.
This video series on Blades in the Dark is really fun. @Zaktact breaks everything down into easily-digestible and charming videos, covering aspects of the lore, setting, and style of the game. I'm really looking forward to watching more.
