What I'm Reading! Issue 185

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 185!

So how is Play May going? Run your adventure from April yet? How did it go? Now the big question... did it inspire you for ways to expand your world?

Adventures are great for that. They always, at least to me, always seem to turn over all sorts of new ideas and possibilities. Speaking of which, I've got some good ones this time that may help with that! These are some really nice ones that could be useful for new adventures!

So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Caturday Reads #5

A header depicting a blue tiger with pink details, holding a grey smartphone, with the text 'caturday reads'.

by Nimin N.

Happy Caturday!
Hope you all are doing fine and get to experience some nice spring weather. Here it's been pendulating between rain and sunshine, and the wind still carries a bit of that north to northwest bite. But I actually don't mind it so much. I'm enjoying the brighter days, and appreciate the cool temperatures lingering a little. I'm just not made for those toasty summers.
Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get any reading done these last two weeks due to health issues, but had an idea for something I could share with you all. I've got quite a collection of fantastic guides written by fellow Anvilites here in my pockets.
As it seems to become a habit, let's start with one from a #Traveller friend: Mochi. Want to expand on the natural world, it's ecosystems and the lifeforms that bind them all together? Mochimanoban released their first part of a planned series to help you do just that.

Worldbuilding Ecosystems Vol. 1

Generic article | May 8, 2024

Part 1 of a guide on worldbuilding ecosystems.

I don't know how many times I have linked this on the discord, but, it deserves to be mentioned again. Rachel Bentz's guide on writing settlements is truly in-depth and the three parts are really well paced, starting with the big questions and then diving into increasing detail in part two and three.

Settling the Issue of Settlements

Generic article | Mar 2, 2024

The First of Three Parts of a series discussing the building of believable and Grounded Settlements in a World.

In a similar vein, Qurilion wrote an excellent article on caste systems, that explains the concepts, provides examples, and what its place could be within worldbuilding.

Caste Systems in Worldbuilding: Crafting Compelling Social Structures

Generic article | Mar 13, 2024

What are Castes Systems and how can they enhance our worldbuilding?

And for the last entry for this time, Morgan Biscup offers some excellent insights and tips on how to write technology that feels believeable from the lens of your world's inhabitants.

How I Write Believable Technology

Generic article | Mar 23, 2023

Thoughts on integrating technology for deeper worldbuilding, based upon my own methods.

Enjoy, and see you all next time!

Caturday Reads #4

by Nimin N.

Happy Caturday!
It's been a while since the last entry, but I just didn't have enough energy to do both reading and writing - so I prioritized getting my latest article about stinky babies done. Been doing a bit better the latter half of this week, so I got both my planned reading done, half an article written, and a bit of painting underway.
As for the actual reading part of this Caturday Reads blog, I got four great articles for you this week.
The first one is a #Traveller shoutout, from our own amazing chapter leader AwsmChimera. Their character articles always paint such vivid images of the people they're about, with how they weave text, quotes, little story snippets, art, and even morif-music together.

Calenvo: Lord of Remembrance

Character | Mar 21, 2024

Next one is a fascinating phenomena described by PrippyMontyPoppyCock. These were one the WE'22 entries that really stood out to me, and not just for the eye-catching title. It's fun and odd and quirky on the surface, but has a such an interesting and deep explanation.

The Troll on Porridge Island

Physical / Metaphysical Law | Dec 12, 2022

The below articles by Kriltch have been sitting in my reading list a long time now, and I've read them before but really wanted to showcase them. They're probably among my favorites when it comes to weaving together knowledge of the laws of nature in a wholly in-universe manner.

Reln

Sharing the love for the (now-ending!) Worldbuilding Awards! Go vote if you havent yet!

Hey there! You may remember me threatening to showcase some of my favourite stuff from the Worldbuilding Awards shortlist... Well time got away from me, so I will have to do this briefly. If youre reading this because you already follow me, you may know that I was absolutely blown away by the nominations I received for a few of the categories. If youre new here, hello new person, nice to meet you! In any case I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly thank all of you for this amazing support. It already is the highest honor for me to be considered a part of the few who made it onto the shortlists. There are so many amazing creators out there and to count myself among them is honestly still very surreal to me. Speaking of: I would like to take this time to highlight just a few of the amazing people who also can be voted for. These are not necessarily the exact ones I voted for myself, but they all would have deserved the votes nonetheless! So in no particular order, please do check out these amazing beans and their great work!

- The entirety of the Yonderverse by Mochimanoban. Honestly just an inspiring feat of raw worldbuilding and I do not know how this amount of quality output can be sustainable for a single human being.
- Journals of Yesteryear by the incomparable TJ
- Gokrenxia by Koragath (a new tomie to rep!)
- Year-Ender Festival by Myth-X
- Scorching of Mercury by nnie, who I think would qualify to be the Keystone of the WA community <3
- The Sacred Lab by Stormbril, the greatest CSS-Wizard I have met so far.
- Shadow Council by Kummer Wolfe.
- Whispers of Divinity by Hanhula.
- Leylines by Line (more Tomie rep!!).
- Valonia: Kingdom at the River's End by Adcheryl, with an ingenious use of the new timelines.
- World of Niorath by Kefkejaco.
- Greater Deities by Satrium.

Finally, this brings me to my request for anyone still reading! Go vote!! Do it here! Give your vote to anyone on the list who seems to deserve it. If some of you decide to vote for me, thank you so much, but ultimately, thank you already for getting me to this point :) #WAWA2024 #SharetheLove #GoVoteAlready

What I'm Reading! Issue 182

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 182!

How's April coming along? Hopefully, your projects are were you want them. What about Adventure April? Did you give it a try? Making an adventure is a fantastic challenge.

They are amazing, fascinating reading. Seriously, go read them. Of course, go read those that made it to the shortlist, but also go back and re-read all the entries from before the shortlists. I have, and every time I do, I find something new to enjoy. A magical item, place, piece of lore that is pure worldbuilding gold.

Caturday Reads #3

by Nimin N.

Happy Caturday!
How's your week been? Mine's been less than great but trying to scrape by as well as I can. Had to skip last saturday because I've just been way too sick. For the same reason, I kept this week's reading light. Let's get straight to it:
I want to showcase another favorite from a fellow #Traveller, Elizabeth Trkova. One of their SC'23 entries about a condition that, while bad, may be a blessing in disguise protecting them from something worse.

Ina Sakhu

Condition | Jul 31, 2023

Next up is from last World Ember, written by Catoblepon. I'm cheating a little here as I didn't exactly need to re-read it, but I really like their stuff for Daeliha.

Dryad

A dryad is a magical representation of the forest they live in, whom life is tied to the tree used in their summoning.

Last one is by Jason Milliken, a really nice read and I liked a lot how the different paths were presented so succintly.

What I'm Reading! Issue 176

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 176!

So, how is your March going? Making progress on your project and worldbuilding? Or just taking it easy. Maybe it's both? Both is good! Also, how about those Uofficial Challenges. Just amazing aren't they? I've got a couple I'm working on, but only two I think. No need to get burned out, right? Which ones are you giving a try?

As for reading, there is so much to catch up on! (WorldEmber wasn't THAT long ago after all). Which means there is a ton of inspiration there! But I won't say anymore. I've found some really interesting ones this time!

So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Caturday Reads #2

by Nimin N.

Happy Timezones!
This week was all hectic days and exhausted evenings, but I'm glad I managed to get my reading done and some painting too despite that.
How was your week? Any signs of spring yet? Here we had the weather throw us for a loop with some nice sunny weather during the week, pour snow over us yesterday and letting it all melt today, so we got a nice, wet mix of slurry and mud to greet us outside. On a more positive note, I do notice actually waking up to a bright morning has improved my mood a lot.
Today, I thought I'd showcase a favorite from a fellow #Traveller, Sh4d0wPh03n1x. A must-read if you're thinking of getting your own sustainable, flying heat source.

How Not To Get Eaten by Various Phoenixes

Item | Dec 10, 2022

A little handbook written by an anonymous Phoenix Master to help adventurers find all the phoenixes and earn their trust. Includes tips, tricks, useful and important useless information, and a good sense of humour.

I also ended up re-reading the first three scenes of Rin Garnett' urban fantasy story The Demon of Starr Island. Words are failing me a little, but shortly said I love it and can't wait for the next part to drop.

B1.S1. Good Morning

Generic article | Nov 15, 2023

(Monstrous) (Prose) Naoise is served a crisis with his morning coffee.

Last one is a Summer Camp '23 submission, by Tanai Cuinsear. It's a really good example of how a bit of origin and history can give something that at first sight might seem quite simple and light a lot of character.

Doorway pause

Tradition / Ritual | Jul 18, 2023

An old tradition of announcing oneself before entering a room

Bonus

I'm still a bit too mentally tired to word a lot and word well, so writing is still very slow. Painting is going better though, at this rate I'll have at least one colored piece for each of my planned (and already written) species from Biegjun.

Mursamuul Cub by Nimin N.

Have a lovely weekend, and see you next week!

What I'm Reading! Issue 175

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 175!

Well, looks like its March already! February always go by way too fast for me. How about for you? Still tackling your goals for your world, or worlds? How's the worldbuilding coming? Speaking of that, looks like we've got an Unofficial Challenge (#UnofficialChallenge) month here! I've seen three or four already. To see them, smash the #UnofficialChallenge tag. They'll show up.

I've already seen a couple that I might try. One lines up with what I'm trying to worldbuild lately, and the other? Well, it's something I've been wanting to do for a while anyway! Now is as good a time as any! Think you might try any? Which ones?

But, other than reading up on the Unofficial Challenges, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Caturday Reads #1

by Nimin N.

Good timezones everyone!

Welcome to the beginning of my personal reading challenge: Caturday Reads. The plan is simple: pick a number of articles, read them through the week, and then share them in a journal entry every saturday. The last step is both for the sake of personal accountability, and because wanted to show my appreciation for all these great pieces, written by so many fantastic people, by sharing them here with you. To keep this activity stress-free and engaging long-term, I've jotted down a few guidelines for myself: 1. I will not feel obligated to comment on articles.
2. It's okay to skip a week if I'm not okay; there's always next week.
3. I should aim to read 2-4 from my reading list every week.
4. Reading articles from new authors found on the discover tab is an optional bonus. Let's see how it goes. And like, immediately disregard one of my guidelines by posting five entries. :-) I'll start with two from the very bottom of my list - the 'Oldies but Goldies' - that's been sitting there from before my long hiatus between 2020-2022. (Both which I now noticed I had, oops, appeared to accidentally double-click the like buttons of - time to finally remedy that)

What I'm Reading! Issue 174

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 174!

Well, here we are at the end of February! How is the worldbuilding coming? Did you fill up your Cabinet of Curiosities? I know I didn't, but hey that's ok. That means there is more room for later, right?

But now that it's done, time for a little breather. It's always good to take some time to just read after writing and worldbuilding away. Rest breaks. They're always a good thing. Because, you just know there's more challenges around the corner. Official, unofficial, even ones you've set up for yourself!

For me, I've tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 173!

How is your February going? Got your Cabinet of Curiosities filled up? Still working on it? Well, hey even one is a good step forward! I have to admit, this challenge is a blast. This is one I hope gets rolled out again. Like, oh, say Holiday themed! That would turn the challenge up a bit. A Cabinet of Curiosities but themed for a holiday in your world! That would be fun. What do you think?

But anyway, I'm rambling a bit. This time, I've got some really intresting ones for you. So, without further delay!

What I'm Reading! Issue 172

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 172!

How goes your February? Worldbuilding coming along? Hopefully, you've made some good progress on your projects! Speaking of worldbuilding, have you added a few items to your own Cabinet of Curiosities? I've seen more appear than I can keep track of! Item articles are a lot of fun to create, aren't they? Which, got me thinking...

Item worldbuilding is really decepive in a way, you know? Sure, the goal is an item. A book, sword, pistol, jetpack, or even a nice piece of jewelry. But, items in a setting represent real history. Tiny windows into culture. Sometimes its sweeping ethnicities but what about the culture for a profession like a ship's mechanic or a blacksmith? They're also moments in time that connect to characters and people. Which, really, that's how real history is made. Not so much the sweeping big events, but the small ones. People drive history with what they do... or in this case, what they make. Which, are items!

Ah, there I go again. Enough of that, let's get to the fun part, right? So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!
