Has Unreal World inspired you in one way or another?

[Roman Lodestar]

For me, I included a Finnish character in my second, work-in-progress sci-fi novel as the Chief Scientist (it's a placeholder title name) in the protagonist space ship and he is very interested in unusual pieces of alien technology, I will also include a Skramasaksi as a "quest reward" for the main character that has a little subtle engraving referencing Unreal World, and finally, I added the Njerpez in the novel as the most organized and dangerous pirate gang in the Milky Way, their background is done and I'll add more details about them as the story develops.

At the moment the manuscript is still in its first version and unedited, I hoping to finish it in January next year but I have a lot of work to do, what about you? have you created something inspired by Unreal World?

For an assignment in secondary school, I wrote a thousand-word poem about the 2012 Wifecarrying World Championship in a style inspired by the Kalevala (or at least English translations thereof).

And some descriptions based on UnReal nature have also made their way into personal projects.

The main character in my most recent writing thing is partly descended from Karelian Finns (because Kaumo = cool ). Some ideas concerning his development arise from reading up on Orthodox icon lore and the vitae of saints, although this guy behaves in ways very far from saintly haha.

I thought “Kaumo” were from Savo and Karelian were from “Reemi”.
(I was born Tavastian,  at “Koivula” and I’m still not happy about calling vihta a “vasta” in-game… j/k
Also the cultural skill points don’t make justice for the fishing and trapping heritage.

derp! My mistake.

Here's a list of UnReal regions corresponding to IRL for anyone interested (I copied it somewhere from Erkka):

• Kaumo = Kainuu
• Kiesse = Savo
• Reemi = Karelia
• Driik = Turku
• Sartola = Pohjanmaa
• Koivula = Häme
• Northern = Sápmi

I want to learn finnish and go to Finland one day. The problem is, I barely talk english so finnish is off the charts

Solomon, these days that's not a barrier. I have some offline friends who don't speak any Hungarian or English, they talk into google translate and then show me what it says, and then I write my answer back into google translate for them. They do this at the store to buy what they need.

Lot of Finns don’t speak in public anyway. You can go to a bar, point at a beer tap, grunt, get pint, bartender will point at the register, you hand over money, bartender will hand back change. You drink your beer. Set down empty pint. Nod at the barkeep, and walk out.
You can go to grocery store, pickup what you want, go to register, pay and bag your own groceries, leave. You don’t need to understand the language.

Yeah, I worked at a bar during my college days.
Finns are somewhat cold on the exterior, small talk doesn’t even exist. But if you try to communicate, in polite manner, with broken English or broken Finnish/Swedish/German…, people will usually be willing to/trying to assist.
