Advanced technology beyond our imagination. Unbelievable discoveries. Dimensions and galaxies unknown. What happens when you push science fiction to the limits? Super Science is a tone where scientific discoveries that push past the boundaries of our real world are found, allowing the audience and readers to explore a world beyond what we can normally conceive. Where the best science fiction relies on some scientific liberties, super science kicks on its warp drive and blows past all scientific constraints. Come explore this vast enterprise of tools and setting ideas found with this tonal setting!
Welcome to the Club! Join us on the WorldCraft Club podcast as we dive in to your favorite movies, games, books, and stories to explore the design of their worlds and creative process. We talk about the process of Worldbuilding, the idea of writing and creating a believable space for your story to exist in. Whether designing a new culture to interact with your characters, or placing a setting that ties in closely with your narrative, the WorldCraft Club Team is here to discuss the biggest story trends and how their settings bring the narrative to life. Inspire your imagination and join the club for your next creative venture!
Dave Schmidt's Stuff -
Episode Links -
- Gravity and Inertia in Space - This is a solid video explaining combat in space generally but the beginning does great work explaining how space combat would effect human occupants. Gravity kills. Also, the Expanse is great... watch it. Not kidding.
- Why doesn't Dune have 'Thinking Machines'? - Quinn's ideas does yeoman's work explaining Dune lore. If you're going to limit your tech with cultural taboos this is how you do it.
- Foundation Series - Quinn's Ideas work on Foundation. Great primer if you want to get into some great science fiction that features human interactions with science beyond their comprehension.
- Flash Crowd by Larry Niven is a book about matter transmission that we referenced in the show.
