It's #selfpromosaturday, and my zine campaign wraps up today!
Use wiki articles to craft strange, powerful, and terrible wizards. I've had great fun with creations like 'Hurbleemer the Autopoietic', 'Kangdell the Sphinx’s Hangman', 'Ankhtainter the Emerald', and 'Vryjlik the Ancient and Forgotten'.
You can check it out here!

Wizards wizards wizards! Unique and disquieting! Old and warped! Completely steeped in magic!
Each wizard is like a bizarre snowflake. This one leaves a trail of fungus wherever he goes. That one lives in a crystal. Another is nine feet tall and orbited by tiny comets.
Wiki Articles Are Wizards [citation needed] is a new zine for generating unique wizards with the help of wiki articles!

Any sufficiently long wiki article is a superb source of spell names.
Baskuefet’s Complex System of Tissue Damage
Wentcrafty’s Extremely Error-Free Skull Ventilation
Zisekcebador’s Mouth-Filling Acid Build Up
Alemmahulemma’s Warm Double Barrier
Crandelamach’s Expansive Resistance to Cancer
Feel No Pain When Exposed To Acid Or IrritantsAll from one article on naked mole-rats, picking out phrases and crunching up authorial names.

Any wizard is careful to only ever use his true-name, guarding his use-names and nicknames fearfully, for they might easily be used against him.

Some cool #Wikipedia article titles I found in the last week:
Book curse, crocodile cracking, detritivore, dimension stone, drunken trees, execration texts, folk taxonomy, frost heaving, Hysteron Proteron Club, list of non-water floods, Mount Asphyxia, radioactive quackery, self-referential humor

The great thing about a zine is that I can break all the normal rules. Yes I will use a dozen different typefaces thank you. Yes I will rasterise things that should be left unrasterised.
