Magitek
If you’ve ever played a JRPG, you’re probably already familiar with the concept of magitech, even if this is your first time hearing the term. Magitech refers to the interesection between magic and technology. Does a fictional world have airships powered by mystic crystals linked to the deities that founded all of reality a millennia ago? Or do the people wear steampunk-looking bracelets that let them throw fire or move things with their mind? That’s magitech, baby, and we’re gonna talk about it!
Lore
LORE! We all love it, we all have it. It’s that cool secret sauce that makes sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, or other speculative fiction so much fun to make theories about. How does this funky world you made up work? How do you keep it all consistent, and make it an interesting part of the story? Today we’re gonna talk about it!
Exposition
Your comic has some cool worldbuilding lore that ties into your plot and characters in some fun ways and you’re excited to show it off to readers. But how do you explain these things without putting everything else in the story on hold? How do you use prologues, how do you explain the gods/creation myths, how do you set up the custom jargon? And how do you avoid scaring readers away with a big infodump? Let’s get into all the different techniques you can use!
