Heyo, I'm out here tryna vibe and make a world from the floor up. Stay if you like, or not, the choice is yours as the roads we walk weave ever onwards. I'm just a guy that likes to write for fun ♥   Big shoutouts to the youtube channels PointyHat and WritFinch. Their two, original worldbuilding videos sparked this whole project that I've found myself making, as I found the ideas that they presented to be extremely compelling at the time.   Proud participant in the following Unofficial Challenges:

Interests & Hobbies

So, when I'm not terminally online at work, college, and my free time here, I'm a big fan of drafting, map making, blacksmithing and wood working! I've been meaning to get a proper forge and shop going for quite some time, so I should hopefully have that soon.

Favorite Movies

The John Wick franchise is ingrained in my mind, I can probably go line-for-line on the first one. The first three Pirates of the Caribbean are honestly some of my favorites of all time, easily.

Favorite Books

  • The First Law series of novels by Joe Abercrombie (Before They Are Hanged, Best Served Cold, and Red Country are some of my personal standouts. Still haven't finished the Age of Madness trilogy*)
  • Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T. Sullivan
  • The Mistborn novels (Yes. They're all pretty good. Go read them) by Brandon Sanderson
  • American Gods by Neil Gaiman
  • The Discworld novels (Same as Mistborn, all of the Discworld books I've consumed I've enjoyed—go find one and read it) by Terry Pratchett
  I'm probably forgetting some names of books that I've really enjoyed over the years, but the stories always stay with me. I cannot recommend the First Law series enough, though: GO READ THEM

Favorite Writers

  • Joe Abercrombie
  • Brandon Sanderson
  • John Gwynne
  • Terry Pratchett

Favorite Games

This really depends on the day, honestly. Historically, I'm a strategy game enjoyer, with hundreds of hours in both Civilization V and Stellaris alone. Other notable mentions include, but are certainly not limited to: Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 (D&D overall, really), Risk of Rain 2, the old Assassin's Creed games (we're talking 1-3, honorable mention of Black Flag), and Helldivers 2 when the devs aren't fighting the playerbase. Oh, and, obligatory Minecraft and Terraria mentions are obligatory.
