A start to 2023 with 10 lovely articles

Yeslittlehummingbird wrote two lovely inns that travel around for her TTRPG world. This is the second one I read. I really like the ideas displayed in both articles, though. The writer has a good knack for creating inviting atmospheres through small details.

A lovely, short article that nonetheless will give you the creeps and make you glad you are in the comfort of your own safe house (hopefully). Ninne124's setting doesn't fail to create a lovely, slightly dark atmosphere.

Although scifi is not my jam, this article by MHBiscup managed to keep me interested until the end. In this article about a funerary practice, they managed to let the culture shine through, all while explaining a very different kind of funerary system.

This region written by Paul almost feels like a culture article. The article dwells on the geography, yes, mostly in the shape of the many paths of the region, but mostly on the interesting people who live within. I really enjoyed all the quotes and sidebars that gave the article a lot more depth & character.

Such a fun little worldbuilding article using something as common as a sending spell in a ttrpg setting! The author, cow2face, managed to add a few twists to an otherwise well known spell, such as the increase in words per spell or the fact that the magic drain is lessened if the other person is also a caster. The meat of the article though is on the spell's discovery, I hope the article had dwelt on that more.

This silly little condition article by CrazyEddie is a reminder that fun has a place in worldbuilding (although I have to admit the detail that sold the article to me was the butterfly detail, as I'm a sucker for butterfly "emissions").

This wholesome article takes the traditional take of phoenixes and allows them to give their "resurrection" powers to others as a boon (this occurrence is seemingly known well enough in the world). I really like DapperCapricorn's subtle changing of a traditional story / myth.

Although not a fan of the writing style, I'm into JamesWoodwright's idea of applying the mark of nobility trusting a business into a commonplace practice amongst minor and larger noble houses. A good reminder that there is inspiration waiting for you anywhere!

I liked this crystal mushroom and the idea of the gooey liquid it produces being thought of as honey. But all the praise I can give mirescosmo's article was triumphed by its ending words: "recreational moose purposes". Funny articles are not my forte, but sometimes all you need is a strong ending apparently!

Darth Halford's article about this "plane" where dreams are stored (and the reason why it was created) is a lovely article and a good show of creativity in 300 words. I also really like how this space was disguised, and how the dreams are "shaped" like books, which the curator can peruse.

Resolutions?

I won't list any resolutions, simply because I didn't fulfil the ones I had the last year. And I just know that this year won't be different, as I am coming off a very couple of very demanding creative years.
So I'm going to be gentle with myself and not put a bunch of goals ahead of me that are impossible to achieve. I will worldbuild what I can.
I wish the best to everyone with their resolutions, though!
