    Summary

    Let’s take a wrecking ball to vanilla Forgotten Realms and the lazy tropes that plague fantasy worldbuilding! Using Forgotten Realms as a case study in good and bad worldbuilding, it dismantles incoherent magic systems, economic hand-waving, colonial narratives, and the myth of the rugged individualist. But it’s more than a setting critique: it’s a toolkit for building worlds that make sense. If your fantasy has magic, gods, or resurrection, it should also have consequences. If your cities thrive, they should have food, laws, and logic. Whether you’re writing novels, running campaigns, or crafting lore, this guide is for creators who believe internal consistency isn’t optional — it’s everything.

    Summary

    Hi! You're here. Excited for another story?
    Don't worry—Cale Henituse is still the main character. Still clever, still bleeding, still trying so hard to live.

    But this story’s a little different.

    No grand battles. No victories. Just Cale… waking up on a stage. And you, in your seat. Watching.

    Go on, give it a read.

    It can’t be that bad.

    Or

    Cale Henituse wakes up on a stage he doesn't remember stepping onto. The eyes watch. The strings pull. Every wound he thought he earned, every choice he believed was his—none of it belonged to him. He was made to suffer. Made to bleed beautifully. And we? We applauded.

    Summary

    The biggest problem of unrealism in Shadowrun isn’t the idea that there are angry Fire Elementals, troll street samurai that can soak up machine gunfire, or flying dragons.

    No; the biggest problem lies in the Face role for each party.

    Summary

    This is an author's guide.

    Purpose:

    1. Let you know my creative philosophy.

    2. You can leave silly questions in the comment section (e.g., "Does the author really choke on mochi easily?"), and I'll pick some to answer and update chapters.

    3. You can suggest interesting topics, and I'll do some writing exercises based on them.

    4. I love you all; anyone willing to chat sincerely is amazing and deserves a friendly hug. 🩵🩵

    5. I'm not a professional, but if you need help, you can talk about your troubles. I'll answer, but I'm not good at emotional comfort—I can only offer solutions. If I can't help, I'll give my blessings. 🫂

    This work is interactive; the comment section is open for questions and responses. But please follow the rules of politeness and AO3 guidelines.
