> If you get into those coffee table books about the making of the first three movies, you find lots of world building. You are well aware that those *are* retcon? None of this existed *before* "A New Hope". Most of it was done later by specialists hired by LucasFilm.

Nah this one is easy. If it's green and _sparkly,_ it's a good thing. If it's green and _bubbly,_ it's a bad thing.

> "There are no 'rules' for fantasy" Wrong. To write *good* Fantasy (of SciFi), you have to go through a process called "World Building" where you lay down the rules of your world. Properly done, the amount of World Building exceeds the actual works by far. It is absolutely necessary to create a core of inner logic to the story. You are not bound by the rules of our world, yes, but you are bound by the rule of consistency. If you violate those, you automatically write crap Fantasy (or SciFi). Funny, though, that e.g. many literature teachers / professors don't even *know* about the idea of World Building.

That's hard fantasy. Soft fantasy can be good too.

I used yellow for health to avoid red/green colourblind issues

I'm not sure if that's a joke? If you have red/green colorblindness, you wouldn't be able to distinguish yellow either. You'd just see blue and not blue.

I love the possibility of having a red/green colorblind character and having to roll to hopefully pick the right potion when they both health potion and poison in their bag.

It's a potion that cures hunger.

No I'm not kidding. Come at me bro Or on me Either or
