Magic in Re: Shattered Memories generally isn't used for warfare because of how rare it is. Artifacts are a bit more common, but most of the time, they do small things that give a helpful but ultimately minor boost.

Pike and shot warfare is the most common tactic in the continent. This includes heavy cavalry armed with pistols rather than lances. Though lances are still used.

Weaponry in Re: Shattered Memories is in the early 1600s. Basically, primitive firearms are commonplace, but bayonets haven't been invented yet. So, pikes are still used.

In Re: Shattered Memories, the places at war are generally more militaristic, but the world itself is pretty militaristic. Mostly because of the era and commonality of war.

Are certain regions of your world more militaristic than others? What precipitates that?

Probably King Casimir Academy itself. It was made to accommodate many students and teachers of different social classes and expanded on since its founding.

Travel in Re: Shattered Memories is generally fairly safe. At least, as long as you stay to certain areas. If there's a war, or monster activity, it can get quite dangerous. But it isn't that bad for the most part.

In Kaleidoscope trains show up most both subway and maglev. It’s NYC. No one drives, there’s too much traffic.

What is the most common mode of transportation seen throughout your story?
#ttrpg #authors #gamemasters #worldbuilding #storydevelopment #writingcommunity #writersky #writingprompts
Local? Walking, horses, and carriages. Long distance? Carriages, horses, more walking, and boats. Not in that order. All in Re: Shattered Memories.

In Kaleidoscope the megalopolises across the U.S. have more advanced and developed infrastructure while outlying and rural areas have fallen behind. What they do have is not well built or maintained.
