Hi sci-fi and fantasy authors, I wonder if these might be useful?

Guess What Day It Is?
Sovyrian Tuesday - celebrating elves across the worlds, both Castrovel and Golarion!
Artist: Campbell WhiteLashunta, of course, are not the only species who practice arboreal warfare. Was it developed in Sovyrian, and then exported to Kyonin?

#worldbuilding #offcuts around bathing:
Stagnant water is considered poisonous and the source of disease so all bathing must be done in moving water, with more motion being believed to bring the most benefit. Waterfalls are the optimal bathing experience while a bath is considered vile.

No water, instead climb into a fresh carcass and then get licked clean by a specialized scavenging creature.

Worldbuilding note from the Digital Dryad universe: the Prime is a forest that runs on connection the way a network runs on cable—everything talking to everything else invisibly, constantly. Which makes the loneliest possible thing inside it a tree nobody answers. #WritingCommunity #FantasyBooks #Worldbuilding

Ah ... the tribulation of the rpg designer. We all know that there is a expectation of combat in "standard" rpgs, especially fantasy ones. Muderhobo is an apt expression, so now I'm sitting here and mulling when sketching out a Drakar och Demoner (Dragonbane for you foreign lot) campaign ...and I want it to not be a genocidal-massmurder-orgy of people for glory and money ... but still having the occasional skirmish and a couple of satisfying boss battles.
Soooo, mindless undeads are fair game ... and demons, I guess, buut I don't want to make them too common.
So I arrive att the common target for PC frustrations ... orc (or in Swedish orch, sounds better, like it's German 😜) .
There have been a trend to normalise them and bring them into the fold of "normal2 people the last few decades instead of just existing for target practise, and that is fine by me ... IF they actually are "normal" people, with culture and emotions and have cute offsprings.
But what if they weren't? I saw some discussions years ago in the OSR sphere about having them be more of massproduced magical constructs and that, I think, is more in line with (we can't dodge his name) how Tolkien envisioned them.
So that is what I probably aim for, a necromantic-demonic construct who's creation demands sacrificing humans and existence in general is ethically challenging and a problem to be solved for any upstanding PC in the vicinity.
(I'm thinking about getting inspired by the Coloss creation from Mistborn)

CW: nudity? (topless, no genitals in image, but post goes a bit into gender/sex department)
maybe ill finish it heres a screenshot of a sketch (too lazy to export)
drawing of a humanoid species' median individual, said people lived in isolation for a long time but due to nature of their biology (they have a functional set of a penis and a vagina, but also it's likely for them to be born infertile, plus at some point there enters the risk of incestuous offspring) they are forced to assimilate to human cultures
because of their long isolation they haven't been exposed to the ideas like human sexual dimorphism and multiple genders, which means they might be clumsy about social issues that come with it such as gender inequality, which generates misunderstandings - most of the isolated ones don't intend to be malicious, some do, and this makes humans unite against them and just develop a new form of bigotry ("those barbarians are bigoted unlike us enlightened humans")
which in turn forces them back into isolation and also bars the modern people of this group from opportunities to be able to coexist and assimilate
yes i am playing dollhouse i like making up scenarios and making them perfect model citizens would be boring as fuck

#worldbuilding #offcuts around pets:
Pets are held as a communal resource, no one has a personal pet. Instead there's a large number of publicly cared for pets that get shuffled around in the community depending on who has a particular need.

Lashunta Inspirational Pic of the Week
Artist: Irvin RodriguezThe sword intrigues me, mainly due to its non-standard combined what could be a fairly practical design. I have many conflicting thoughts on lashunta and swords. Do they have them? Yes. Are they a preferred weapon? That's where it gets complicated.
Per my homebrew history, lashunta first learned of sword from the elves, back during the ancient elfwars, though they didn't surge in popularity until the Thief-Queens' conquest. In their association with outriders (being damaya), they have primarily stayed lightweight. Lady Vaeol has a sword: a recurved saber-like blade gifted from Semuane her maidenlove, and of obvious elven design.
Axes remain a mainstay of lashunta weaponry, especially for korasha. Yet given that I've given myself 12,000 years of history to play with, I suppose that allows plenty of opportunity for variation, no?

Lifesigns are not the same across different stages of the emergence of life on a planet. An early prebiotic will not have the same biosignatures as a more mature one in which life has taken hold.

What a cool way to make highly detailed RPG maps from real world geographical data.
