Carnival Magic offers passengers the option of staying in a balcony berth, which provides amazing views and a comfortable experience. A balcony berth allows guests to have their own private outdoor space, where they can enjoy the ocean breeze and stunning vistas. These berths are perfect for those who love spending time outdoors and want to make the most of their cruise experience. One of the main advantages of a balcony berth is the breath-taking views it offers. Passengers can wake up to the sight of endless ocean stretching out before them or watch colorful sunsets from the balcony. It allows guests to take in the beauty of the surroundings without even leaving their room.
At episode 2 of season 1 :
I plan on having races like four-legged and four-handed spiders, aquatic lizard folk, bee people with their queens as the ruling class and other wacky stuff. Mechanic wise, if you have too much magical affinity and attempts to use a elephant gun, it can blow up in your face as the supernatural forces interfere with natural forces.
It allows guests to take in the beauty of the surroundings without even leaving their room. The balcony becomes a peaceful haven where one can relax and unwind while taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean. In addition to the stunning views, a balcony berth offers a sense of privacy and tranquility.
Magic vs. Technology war [setting] (1 Viewer)
So the idea for the setting (for now I call it Omuo) was partially inspired by another topic I started recently on this forum:
In many games, films and books we have the theme of a conflict between technology/science vs. nature/magic. The first one will be represented by colonists a militaristic or communistic faction or any type of often dystopian technocracy or corporationist regime. The second ones will be elves, indians, blue indians or whatever, often spiritual and entuned with nature. What I'm trying to find is something where the conflict still exists, but the morality is changed. So the magic users would be the bad guys and the science guys the good guys. Of course it doesn't have to be bluntly presented like that, but at least realisable.
If it's not clear enough I'm searching for a rpg which has a theme similar to this one.
So the idea for the setting that incorporates this idea, goes more or less something like this. Basically it would be a post-apocalyptic world after a war between an anarchist scientifical faction and a theocratic faction which worships the planet. In the end the magical nation used a magical "nuclear bomb" by summoning an ancient demon (something like a tumor of the planet). Of course the mages had to defeat it, when it got out of control, so after the destruction of the demon (at least for now ) they used propaganda to turn the story around and make themselves the heroes. So after this we have the technologists scattered around the world. They are treated as heretics, but not persecuted and killed on sight (more like the jews, gypsies in the middle ages). I think this could make for an interesting setting because we have everything a fantasy world needs:
- Ancient ruins of the technologists
- A "badland" where the demon was summoned, with its spawn as additional enemies.
- An oppresive governement with the motivation of power
- And an oppresed group with the motivation of freedom
- Lots of choices for players: both mages and technologists
- Lots of interesting artefacts, not magical weapons but computers, databases, robots, nano-structured armor and so on
- Also a little touch of weird from my side . I plan on having races like four-legged and four-handed spiders, aquatic lizard folk, bee people with their queens as the ruling class and other wacky stuff.
- And of course a different look at the technology vs. magic conflict
Here is what I propose as to the political factions appearing in the setting.
- The Empire - the main force in the world of Omuo. A dominant political power which tryes to maintain strict control over it's people. The aristocracy is supported by the magical-priest elite, with the emperor as the head of the contry and representative of the will of the people.
- The Theocracy - the theocracy to the empire is like the papal state to the holy roman empire. It's rulers are the mage-priests with the incarnation of the first prophet of Omuo hiself as the leader. It is their teaching that treat the drifters as heretics and the use of advanced technology as blasphemy. Magic used be spellcasters outside the order being treated similarly.
- The Kingdom - more of a militaristic faction ruled by a warrior class. Although they also recpect the teachings of Omuo, they aren't so politically dependant on the theocracy which creats some tensions between them and the empire.
- The Free People - a faction of cities in the desert who don't follow any rulers. Law and security are a commodity for which you have to pay. Most of the power is in the hands of various clans or companies. In contrast to the factions mentioned above, drifters are allowed in city-centers and some clans will trade or work together with them.
- The Drifters - left-overs from the ancient technological civilization. After their nation was destroyed and has become a lair for demon-spawn now they travel around the world as gypsies, where they continue to use advanced technology, often against authorities and seek lost knowledge and articafts from their past.
So what do you think? Does this idea have potential?

Passengers can enjoy their morning coffee or a quiet moment of solitude on their balcony without having to contend with crowds or noise. It provides a space where guests can escape from the busyness of the ship and enjoy some peaceful moments alone or with their loved ones. Furthermore, balcony berths are designed with comfort in mind. They are equipped with comfortable seating and sometimes even a small table where guests can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the views. Passengers can lounge on their balcony and read a book, sunbathe, or simply relax in the serenity of their own private space.

Reviews for "The Benefits of Booking a Carnival Magic Balcony Berth for a Group"
1. Jane - 2 stars
The Carnival magic balcony berths were not what I expected. The room itself was cramped and the balcony was so small that only one person could comfortably fit on it at a time. The beds were uncomfortable and the linens were old and worn. Additionally, the noise from the adjoining cabins was extremely disruptive and made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Overall, I was very disappointed with the accommodations on the Carnival magic.
2. John - 1 star
I was highly disappointed with the Carnival magic balcony berths. The room was claustrophobic and had a strange odor that lingered throughout the entire cruise. The balcony was so small that it was practically useless, and the view was obstructed by the lifeboats. The beds were uncomfortable and the bathroom was in desperate need of updating. I expected a much better experience from Carnival and will not be booking a balcony berth again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I was not impressed with the Carnival magic balcony berths. The room was outdated and in need of renovation. The balcony was barely big enough to stand on, let alone sit and enjoy the view. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows were flat. The noise from the ship's engines and other passengers was also noticeable and disruptive. Overall, I would not recommend the balcony berths on the Carnival magic.
