Basically, I had this idea going on for more than a year, and decided to start working on it. Developing my own fantasy setting from scratch, and then possibly adapting some system to run it. So I will put my ideas here for feedback, hints and questions.
Rules:
1) Behave reasonably
2) If one doesn't behave reasonably, I might decide to advise the offending party to stay await from my corner.

The basic concept is that this fantasy verse is set on terrestrial planet bit larger than Earth, enough to maintain a moon with its own atmosphere and magnetic field. There is a source of magical in this world which correlates with the magnetic field of the planet, drawn from the planet itself. Nature spirits can access it directly, but intelligent species of the planet had to harness it indirectly, for example through technology. The second source of magic comes from spiritual beings (separate from nature spirits), some of them powerful enough to be called gods, gained through supplication and sacrifice devoted to given spiritual entity. Basically a deity may lend a bit of its power to followers in return for sacrifice, usually blood sacrifice.
It's getting late, so that's all for today, folks.
