Fantasy & Fiction · page 4

What is in here

Swords and the surrounding arsenal, characters and figures, plus the magical apparatus that shows up wherever a story needs something impossible to happen. This category is broad rather than deep: it holds a lot of distinct subjects and few large clusters, which is the nature of fiction.

Where these get used

Game studios, tabletop publishers and fantasy fiction sites are the core audience, and they tend to need one specific thing rather than a matched set, which suits a wide catalogue. Book publishers and reading apps use them for genre marking. Writing tools use them for worldbuilding features, and events, conventions and themed campaigns pull from here when the brief calls for something with more atmosphere than a standard icon set can carry. Streaming and film products use them for genre marking alongside the entertainment set. Because these lean atmospheric rather than functional, they also work as decoration on landing pages that need mood, where a purely functional icon set would read as too plain for the subject.
