I've only played Witcher 2 (great game) and the first 1.5 areas of Witcher 3 (artificial difficulty made me quit) and I agree that the world they painted was amazing but what makes you think it'd lend it's self to an inflation story more so than any other fantasy world? Other than characters.
Witcher universe themed inflation stories
Hi all
This is something that struck me recently so I thought I'd share, I'm sure some of you have heard of the witcher series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski and the games by CDProjekt Red, personally I think the universe created by both is amazing and so rich content wise.
Back on topic, I've noticed a real lack of Witcher themed inflation art, stories amd so on. Which doesnt make much sense to me, seeing as the universe is almost perfect for inflation mostly involving the sourceresses who are prime candidates for inflation in my view.
Anyway I'm interested in what you guys think and if there is a demand for witcher themed art and stories.
Look forward to discussing it
Regards

Hello toolazy
The universe itself tends to focus alot of sex and the magic used by the sorceresses is powered by the elements, air being the most abunant and weakest energy, fire being the most powerful and most dangerous to absorb for spells to be performed. The absorbtion process of air and water could lead to inflation and the spells themselves are limitless as yennefer stated in one of the books theres a spell for everything:) Sooooo as the sourceresses like to compare their beauty, sexiness so on which would be a good reason for hourglass inflation.

I love The Witcher, Pan Sapkowski is an established classic and a great man in person. I agree Pan Sapkowski's universe expanded generic medieval fantasy with a new breath, his books and especially games are full of magic, love and sex - but these three thoroughly described things are torn from each other in his world. You may agree, it's a very fragmented world, there's a lot of grim separation and stubborn misunderstanding in it, and sex-love-magic are no exception.
If you're looking for something Eastern European, may I point on a Ukrainian duet Alex Zorich. imho his (theirs?) universe is slightly better suitable for conversion into inflation fantasy. Just change "sex" into "inflation" in the text below ^_^
Zorich wrote two tetralogies and several stories about the continent Sarmontazara. There sex, love and magic are tightly intertwined. Sex scenes are described more spiritually, emotionally, body motions are clear but wrapped in allegories. Sex is one of the forms of magic available to all although few choose to master it. Great heroines use sex to to defeat enemies, to humiliate the weak, to test and deeply understand what an unknown person hides, to boost power and glory of their own and their loved one on the dawn of decisive battle or tough negotiations. At the very least, arousal makes individuals more prone to other magic.
You see why lovers are dear to each other - their immense power as a couple is indeed much greater than two individuals, you see that even ruling couples won't be rulers without each other, it's almost measured. There are spells and spell-like abilities that mimick the effects of sex without having to actually do it. There are items that feed on it, boost it, or magnify it's magical effects. And there's a lot of it - several beautifullly described sex scenes in every book. (Which makes sense if you think of the origin - they lived less in Dark Ages and had to breed a lot).
You see how family, love and sexual magic contribute to differences between countries. There are countries in Sarmontazara where people who know sexual magic are hunted down like animals or burnt as witches. There are countries where sexual magic is lightheartedly ignored, despised or prohibited by police, there are countries where sexual magic is the official religion practiced in rituals with other kinds of magic.
Besides, it's a kinder world. ^_^
Also, Zorich duet fence, MedievalMuseum and X-Legio websites for tactics and weapons from prehistoric times to Renaissance are their creations. When you read about a battle, you can take a sword and play it with your friends - all movements are humanly possible (unlike some passages in The Witcher books) ^_^
