Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

We all have cool ideas for things we'd love to do or make, art, novels, films and so on. But unless you actually have something to show us such as concept art or a first draft I think you should discuss it here so we don't have dozens of topics of people talking about their cool ideas.

I did. I found out the same day I made the announcement of my rebooting.

See, I got the idea from TvTropes while reading about sucky sounding superpowers.

I had the idea of a world of magic. Life is actually formed from the fragments of a "slain" god interacting with the physical world, comparable to souls. Magic is actually another omnipresent god, or something to that sense, being influenced by life.
The influence is not actually some spiritual energy or anything, like is commonly portrayed in fantasy, but is rather due to organs [magic node] evolved to use the nature of the original slain god that is housed inside all living things.
Magic potions and stuff works because mixing various parts of animals and plants and substances can induce an artificial sort of magic node.
Oh Fine.

Oh hi you! Why don't you go check out the finery that is SGP??

I had a similar idea once. I didn't fully work it out, but it allowed for the milking of magical creatures for potions.

Here's an idea, a story following an Alexander type hero, who conquers the known world save for one city, where the remnants of those who opposed him gather to make one last stand.
He’s always given his enemies and way to escape, so they are quite strong and if they kill him they can win, but they decide to be sure and have their magicians tame a god to kill him, it goes about as well as that sort of thing usually does and the city is destroyed.

The Hero then has to fight a swarm of demons.
