Apologies if this doesn’t fit here, not sure where else to post something like this on lemmy

I think having gravity act like weather might be an interesting concept for a fantasy world, where each country has its own gravity patterns, some tend to be heavier some tend to be lighter, some are all over the place

For a few examples, there could be a desert with gravity so high you can get dragged down into the sand

Could be a country with gravity so low everyone uses personal aircraft that work like bicycles instead of land vehicles

Animals in higher gravity areas would have less dense bones, more muscle, etc and lower gravity would have far larger animals because they can support more weight

In a really high gravity area people might need exoskeletons to prevent long term damage

    Would all these monsters creep from the high gravity places and destroy low gravity civilizations?

    You’ve just reminded me of a book series I started reading a few years ago. I think it was caused by the Earth having much higher gravity than other planets, but the story was basically humans were super strong. Because of this, they could jump long distances and punch through walls.

    I’m going to have to start reading it again, if I can remember what it was called.
