There are many dangers in the Wake. One of the worst being wakevores, beings that feed on universes. Like the Higgs Beast. When it feeds, the laws of reality break down. For the wakedwellers, this process can last up to thousands of years.

One of Wakewide's main elements is a mapping system for the multiverse. It uses four axes (Magic, Tech, Time and Weird), plus Tags to place a wake in Creation. For example, this is Hyboria, where Robert E. Howard's Conan adventures happen.

I'm always creating new supers wordls in my RPG column, trying to explore different aspects of the genre, mixing it with other media, adapting from various soruces and using it all in my fiction writing as well.

I'm also doing this on a multiversal scale with "Wakewide".
Welcome to a new year of worldbuilding! Let's kick off this year with Day 1 of #JanuaryWorldbuilders in which I ask you: tell me about yourself and the world(s) you're building. Just a general overviews. We'll get into the weeds throughout the year

Tell meat suppliers that slaughterhouses are no place for children
Tell major meat suppliers in the US to stop profiting from the exploitation of children! Children belong in school—not in slaughterhouses.

Last December, I got my first English-language credit and I thought I would try my hand at the awards season.

If you are voting for any of the genre literary awards – Hugo, Nebula, Stoker, World Fantasy or any other –, please consider my short story.

Thank you! patchlord.com/2024awards.h...

I'm assembling a frankensteinian superhero RPG. After listing the basic blocks, I'm writing up famous heroes to check if everything is working.

The project can be followed on my Patreon and on RPGnet: forum.rpg.net/index.php?th....

This is my first fiction writing credit in English! I'm superexcited, not just forme, but for my 23 anthology companions. I hope readers have as much fun (Fun? It's horror, Fred. You know what I mean ;]) as we did writing it. 🙂

Yep, we're the real RPGnet. You can tell because our handle is the URL "rpg.net."

RPG-dot-net how has an official account on Bluesky!

This is what their homepage looks like. Accept no imitators or impostors!

Their account is @rpg.net . Anyone else is a potentially dangerous doppelgänger and should be avoided.

From part 2 of Greg Gorden's DCH Origin Story, in the fifth KS update: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cze....

This photocopy, or Gorden's notebooks, have "stretch goal" written all over them. 🙂

Nespe is starting a fiction podcast. Each episode will be a short story narrated by the author. Mine is "O sono da razão" [The sleep of reason]. I recorded the first paragraph with my thick Brazilian accent. It's 1m04s long, and you can listen to it here (1.1 MB) : patchlord.com/content/slee...

Hahaha. Once, a friend complained about the characterization of Ewoks in RoTJ, saying it was ridiculous that forest creatures couldn't even climb a fallen log on their own (Leia had to help Wicket).

Well...
Please take fifty-eight seconds out of your day to marvel at the elegance, agility and effortless natural grace of the panda.
