A beautiful addition to my bookshelf. I simply can't wait to try some of the scrummy recipes from this. And as a bonus, it's stunningly illustrated, too 🥰

Yesterday, I finished World Anvil's Summer Camp 2025 with a Silver Award! 16 prompts completed is a new record for me, and I had a blast doing it!
I'm going to be giving you all a rundown of my new articles soon, so keep an eye out for that #Worldbuilding

Astaeria's calendar was literally this, and then I changed it because I thought it would be sweet to have 'hearthday' (my world's equivalent of Mothers' Day) on my mom's birthday. Why do I have to make things hard for myself? 🫣😂

Quick reminder that authors will love you just as much if you get their books from the library, or lend them from a friend, or grab a drenched, worn-out copy that you find lying in a rainy gutter.
We just hope you enjoy the read.

I envy not the rich, but those people who bought 'micropigs' at the height of their popularity only to find out later they'd actually bought a tiny-wee-baby Pot Bellied Pig instead.

I fucking love video games yall.
I love celebrating them. I love playing them. And most of all... I love working on them.
I have my gripes with TGAs, but damn I love seeing our industry come together.

Hi! I'm Spyglass (he/him), and I worldbuild! I mostly focus on science fiction of varying flavors, but I've got projects across the genre spectrum. Read the overview post on my tumblr for more info: spyglassrealms.tumblr.com/realms

Realms
At present, I have 8 worldbuilding projects that I work on with some regularity, which I collectively call the “realms.” These worlds vary greatly in genre and general tone, from hard science fiction...

I'm a little late to the party, but I just completed my first session on #RingFitAdventure. Trying to exercise with chronic pain & constant anxiety is definitely challenging, but hopefully, I've found something fun I can keep up with on indoor days. I'm definitely sweating buckets, that's for sure 😅

Is anyone else like super organised when they're #gaming with inventory management and the like, but so messy and cluttered in real life? Starting to think it's just me 😅

Just want to release into the wilds of the #worldbuilding world my intention to complete 10 000 words for World Anvil's #worldember. I'll mainly be focussing on a proper introduction and primer which my world so desperately needs. Fingers crossed, I can be organised enough in my execution!

So, I got starter-pack FOMO and decided to make one for writing people who know stuff and pass it on through courses, workshops, newsletters etc.
It includes all the savants who teach me stuff. I've probably missed people but these were the ones who sprung to my head.

I've got a starter pack for those creating works with fantasy elements in space. If you share my interest, these are some great people to follow.
And if this description fits you let me know and I'll add you! Novels, worldbuilding, art, cosplay, whatever!
