Summer Introductions
Curse You
My dream is to publish a good urban fantasy series one day, full of monsters, magic and action-packed thrilling adventures. And hopefully, Curse You will be it - or at least will push me in the right direction. Set in a world of its own, inspired by the first Czechoslovak Republic (expect a lot of art deco and 1920s aesthetics), this is a modern tale but not quite like our "modern". It's darker and a lot more sinister with centuries old secrets that run deep and cut even deeper.
The story as of now is centred around a young witch named Dorothy of considerable magical talent, but unfortunately also cursed in more ways than one: everything she touches literally falls apart and starts to rot. We follow her as she tries to carve out freedom for herself and her loved ones and keep everyone safe.
I would like to establish some core locations and major characters during Summer Camp and flesh out the skeleton of the world and maybe even the plot for the first mystery. Hopefully, by the end of July I will know enough about my world and all its secret cults and dimensions and spells and artefacts and demons that I will be able to start putting together the stories in autumn. But the goal remains to find the love of writing and worldbuilding again and not to burn out. To improve my work ethic a bit and simply enjoy creating.
Vzhůru ke hvězdám | Reach the Stars (Firefly RPG Campaign)
You don't like the Alliance and the Alliance doesn't like you. I've been dying to run a campaign that would follow in the footsteps of the original series and would give me and my friends a chance to explore the 'Verse through and through. So expect just that: a bunch of honest folks trying to survive on the cold edge of the universe getting into all sorts of trouble.
This is the first time I will be trying out the Cortex Plus System. All of the articles in this world are written in Czech as I've been slowly but surely translating the rules for my players so we can hop into our own Firefly knowing how things work. If everything goes well, we'll start playing in late August. I didn't plan to make this world public, but Summer Camp is a marathon and it won't hurt to have a place where I can write in Czech in case I don't have any ideas for Curse You.
When it comes to writing for this world, any new articles will come in handy I am sure. I hope to expand more on the inner workings of the Anglo-Sino Alliance, the weird superpowers people can have and maybe some other (il)legal advanced technology the government plays with. It would also be nice to have an opportunity to deep dive more into the Chinese culture so I can present it well. Or maybe create some RPG blocks and other templates that would help me as a GM to run this thing.
