If I'm going to see another "The Galactic Union has ruled for the past 5000 years", I'm gonna throw myself into the sun...
Why does 98% of sci-fi writers have no conception of history, society, or technology?!

What sports exist for women in your world?
It was stories of Galactic Empires which inspired me to make my own in Worldbuilding, now I'm finally putting form to the vast story of meta-civilisations, meddling Precursors and planets named after 1000 year old Terran memes.
I know there are others like me out there with their own galaxies and histories, it's the joy of Worldbuilding!
If you hear Jungle music, it's because all Galactic starmaps play Jungle. I don't make the rules.
A lot happens during the development phases of a fantasy map so don’t feel intimidated if things feel vague at the start. It’s an ongoing journey and once it’s complete, the real adventuring will begin, for GMs and players alike!
Prisms! An addition to the Love Sucks lore about magic and the use of it in the world. You may have seen Addy with these in Night Two when she tried to cast a spell.

Some skistomid fashion, it's perfectly fine and common for them to be naked, any clothes are worn for personal expression or special happenings.
-They wear organs as a sign of dominance or after being asked out
What strange ceremonies does your world contain?
Been thinking a lot about how worldbuilding shifts between film and games. In film, we build to frame. In games, we build to explore. Same tools, totally different intent. That shift in mindset changes everything.
You feel this too?
I published a tentative version of the Skillset article for my project #Wiki:
https://operatingsuperstars.miraheze.org/wiki/Skillsets
I’m not entirely confident with this but it’s a crucial part of the #Worldbuilding in the setting and I need to keep tweaking this and finalize the details in it before I can confidently write articles for characters.
The parameter I filled out on the “Details Not Finalized” template shows there’s a lot to still be decided on
With this, I included a color #Sketch of Prima that shows more of her redesigned outfit which is meant to look more like a cyclist’s outfit and it shows how annoyed she’d be looking at a published script with so many uncertain details.
I'd like a uhhhhhh boneless worm
(A skistomid, my personal specie)
Don’t you love when you’re #Worldbuilding and you suddenly have an idea that’d greatly simplify something you were struggling with, but applying it would require major retcons and scrapping major established details?
That just happened with me as I’m still drafting an article on my project wiki about the Skillset system to categorize characters by their skills but got stuck; I already wrote about it on the blog with the launch of version 3 and a bit before that, but it was clunky so I’ve been writing a refined draft.
I’m still not entirely decided how OSes would fit into this system, but I just had the idea pop up in my mind that being an “Operating Superstar” could just be a title for many of the characters.
That’d be so much simpler than what I have in mind with them being a skillset based on programming and versatility (and one that wasn’t present from the beginning of the setting’s history) that has an unusual and complicated initiation process.
I have how to write about that somewhat figured out, and I like the angle that developed of OSes as a group trying to find its place within society, but I keep going for the complicated ideas because simpler ones don’t always immediately cross my mind.
However, if I went with this simpler angle, I’d have to retcon out everything about the initiation process that I already covered when I recently updated the “I Was a Software Developer…” chapters with the worldbuilding changes of version 3
#PennedPossibilities 643 — How does your SC respond to the quiet? Do they take comfort in silence, or seek to fill the void with noise?
Junk can't handle silence. It drives him insane. He's always listening to music, singing, or speaking—even if it's only to himself. There's no such thing as "peace and quiet" while he's around.
#PennedPossibilities 642 — How old are some of your characters?
FYI: I should say that people in this universe can live a long time due to enhanced genetics or cybernetics. Cyberpunk universes (and SFF ones as well) are all rather interesting.
Also, this is random but I've got notes that I can pull from for random characters featured throughout the first novel and series.

Junk (m): 40
