Looking for anyone who's been a passenger on a tall ship (any sailing ship with at least two square-rigged masts) to answer a basic question about the experience for #writing and #worldbuilding purposes.
Bridges are a manifestation of humanity's desire for contact, communication and fellowship. They are also choke points for wars and banditry. The way you use the landscape in your work can help you develop not only character but your world itself.
Surprise! Scientific Research Finds Assumptions About Ancient Gender Roles Are BS
"...women regularly hunted in 79% of documented researched hunter-gatherer societies. Also, most of those societies specifically trained their female members to become hunters."
I guess it is time for me to do an #introduction here. This is an account by @SinclairSpeccy mainly for my personal worldbuilding projects due to the larger word count here and my main instance being a tech themed one. This account name is taken from my site to make things easier.
On this account you will find me posting about my main 4 worldbuilding projects which are the following:
Guardians of the School: Perhaps a bit of a generic name for this worldbuilding project, it focuses on the real world with a hint of fiction about a protagonist named Yuriko who is a teenage girl whose life changes when she gets thrown into turmoil by some mystical entities called "Guardians of the School".
Time Goes By: More of a space themed thing inspired by a flash game I used to play a lot in my youth called Plazma Burst 2. Same as Guardians of the School, it focuses on the real world with a hint of fiction about a protagonist named Quiv who is stuck on Earth after most people left to Mars the rest of the galaxy until he gets into a fight with someone in an abandoned spaceship that launches him and this other person into space. Yes, it sort of takes cues from Star Wars and such.
Termination of Dusk: Originally known as "Warrior Dragons", it is one of the first of my projects I started when I was younger from around 2017. Has mostly been sitting in the dust as I grew out of it. Years later I sorta picked up on it again but not much. It focuses on a fantasy setting with elemental powers.
The Mainframe - An OS-tan Fanon: My OS-tan fanon/universe that used to be hosted elsewhere that was then moved over to be hosted on my site for more flexibility. It is a fanon that aims to be free of glurge while including more male characters and redundant OSes/computers. Shares the same name as the main site (how creative of me :P).
I'll most likely be posting about my OS-tan universe since that is the one I am hyper-fixating on 99% of the time. I'm not much of an artist either but rather a writer of sorts, and these are projects done for fun. I am also to do an introduction for my OS-tan universe later to move it over to this account from my main which ended up being a 10 post thread...
The profile picture and banner will be changed eventually to suit this account more as these were ones I already had at the time on hand
Good morning! The Atlas Loom—a brand new podcast about worldbuilding for tabletop and beyond—is now available!
If you love tabletop RPGs, Dungeons and Dragons, storytelling or worldbuilding of any kind, give it a listen! Myself and DianaOfTheRose break worldbuilding down into enjoyable, bite-sized pieces while having a good laugh about it.
Search "The Atlas Loom" wherever you get podcasts, or visit the website:
First Microscope game was a blast! Still probably going to take another session or two to get this history hashed out but I'm already in love with this world. Things went in a very interesting direction, so much better than anything I could have imagined on my own. I can't wait to start playing Pathfinder in this world!
Isn’t it past your bedtime, House Cousin? Presenting the Hlaalu Canton Bunkhouse by Dominik Włodarczyk, Level Design
With NPCs having daily routines in Skywind, they all need places to sleep, thus the need arises for new interiors, such as inn rooms, private quarters, and bunkhouses. Located in the docks, the bunkhouse grants its inhabitants easy access to all of Hlaalu Canton!
Among the joys of designing financial systems for SF universes of varying tech/dev level is the moment when you realize that the ultratech galactic transaction clearing system requires an error handler for “payment delayed due to sick bullock”.
