Maybe I'm a lousy writer, but I've never planned events in the future before. I have a very "Bethesda" approach where if the player(s) ask(s) if they can do something, I say yes. I try to flesh out my world comprehensively (often to a fault) and allow them to run their course. Sometimes I might...

Man's Best Friend * * * i. The Chihuahua Dust swirled in the air as the sun beamed through the clear sky. The burden of the heat from the fiery heavens weighed The Boy down. The Boy’s boots lightly melted and stuck to the road with each step he took on the blacktop. His throat...

Currently working on a slice-of-life short story for worldbuilding purposes.

It's been a while. I'm not going to put anything down for tonight, but I've been extensively working on the years leading up to the End Event. A side-project that's been distracting me from writing is trying to program a market system that simulates prices based on universal supply/demand for...

Not intentionally. I usually have music or a podcast running throughout the day. If I am listening to music and I so happen to have some downtime to start writing, then I will listen to something. However, like now, I have not had music playing for probably 2-3 hours, so I am in silence. I will...

So, I was browsing and saw @ashen.eidolon's post about premade characters, but the context was different. Ashen referred to players bringing in their own premade characters, which is very common. However, I wondered how people felt about selecting a premade character from the writer. For...

Didn't do a lot concerning Edenfall today. However, for unrelated reasons, I've been reading up on Mesoamerican faith recently and have been inspired to create a new belief system. The Aztecs heavily influence the {New Earth Spirit Belief}. The creation myth of the {NESB} is that the nuclear war...

In retrospect, I should've just made another post.

I recently read about how it is more advantageous and worthwhile to world-build from the bottom-up rather than from the top down, i.e., try worldbuilding through the eyes of a person in your world rather than from God's eye. Below is an exercise providing a slice of life into Adrian Mercer, a...

I might change the timeline again. Move the End Event date to 2119 and have the setting occur in 2262. I'm trying to get a grasp on feasible technological development as well as social/cultural reformation. I reevaluated the ecological outlook for Earth post-apocalypse. I guess the initial...

Auguste Rodin, a famous French sculptor (known for The Thinker and The Kiss), once said, "I invent nothing, I rediscover." I am building a hard sci-fi world that draws inspiration from many different things. If popular sci-fi films have piqued your interest in developing an equivalent world...

Slight update: I reworked a lot of the lore. I changed the timeline a lot. Now the End Event happens in 2087 vs. the original 2054. Additionally, the world takes place 79 years post-Event, so in 2166. I did this mainly to add some more realism to the futuristic technology. It still definitely...

Hello, I am currently working on a world called Edenfall. The gist of the story is a common fight-of-big-sticks trope where the conflict ends in a nuclear holocaust. Where it begins to diverge is a hard science-fiction approach through dystopian and cyberpunk megacorporations. The three major...
