A Worldbuilder's Guide to Societies
In fantastic worlds like Gondor, Westeros, Ankh-Morpork, Waterdeep, and Hogsmeade, the societies that inhabit them play important roles in capturing the feel of their settings. Societies create characters and plots, provide space for action, and reflect history. Building vibrant and interesting societies is a core element of worldbuilding in the fantasy genres. This guide walks the reader through different aspects of societies to help construct fictional worlds with greater ease. Examples of societies built by numerous authors in the fantasy, urban/modern fantasy, and paranormal romance genres are interwoven to illustrate concepts. Throughout, this book is descriptive and suggestive rather than prescriptive, and is intended to inform as well as inspire the worldbuilder.
Paternus
Book 1 of the completed Paternus Trilogy Even myths have legends. Described as American Gods meets The Avengers and Supernatural meets The Lord of the Rings, Paternus combines myths from around the world in a modern story of action and intrigue that is "urban fantasy on the surface, but so much more at its core!" "Terrific! Paternus is intelligent, intricate, suspenseful, and epic." -Nicholas Eames, Gemmell Award winning author of Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose "Ashton's story is a crucible in which myths are melted and remade to thrilling effect." -M. R. (Mike) Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts and the Felix Castor series And not all legends are myth. When a local hospital is ...
World-Builders on World-Building
With contributions from a distinguished group of world-builders, including academics, writers, and designers, this anthology of essays describes the process and discusses the nature of subcreation and the construction of worlds. From Oz to MUD, Walden to Rockall, all the worlds featured in this volume share one thing in common: they began in someone’s imagination, grew from there, and became worlds built with the assistance of multiple authors and a variety of different ideas and media, including designs, imagery, sound, music, stories, and more. The book examines this development, with examples and discussions pertaining to the process and the final product of the building of imaginary worlds, including some transmedial worlds. World-Builders on World-Building is a fascinating deep dive into the practical problems of world-building as well as its theoretical aspects. It is ideal for students, scholars, and even practitioners interested in media studies, game studies, subcreation studies, franchise studies, transmedia studies, and pop culture.

MI vagyunk az Istenek
Bob Johansson nem hitt a halál utáni életben, így nagy megdöbbennéssel vette tudomásul, hogy felébredt, miután meghalt egy autóbalesetben. Ráadásul érző számítógépként, ami kontroll-intelligenciaként irányít egy hatalmas űrkutatási projektet. Bob és a másolatai 40 évvel ezelőtt szétszóródtak a világűrben, hogy lakható bolygókat keressenek. És nagyjából ennyi az, ami az eredeti tervből megmaradt. Egy hatalmas háború kipusztította az emberi faj 99,9%-át, a nukleáris tél lassacskán teljesen lakhatatlanná teszi a Földet, miközben radikális csoportok folytatják egymás kiirtását. Ráadásul a Bobok felfedeztek egy olyan űrutazó fajt, ami minden egyéb életformát tápláléknak tekint. Bob egyszerre azon kapja magát, hogy Égistenként vigyáz egyszerű bennszülött törzsekre, miközben új otthont keres a Föld lakói számára, és talán ő az egyetlen, aki megakadályozhatja, hogy a galaxisok népei vacsoraként végezzék.
