Yesterday, the Million Islands achieved a milestone! After ten and a half months and nearly a hundred articles, I've completed the geography pass of the Great Ring's Southern Region. I use the geography articles as a foundation for the worldbuilding in this setting, and laying out all the geography of a region gives me everything I need to go forward. This is the third (of six) regions I've completed so far, and I'm looking forward to diving into the next one!

Breathing New Life into an Old World

Today, I'm returning to the first world I ever made on WorldAnvil, and bringing it back to life. The world is High Albion, a Victorian magepunk world focused on international espionage between two world superpowers. If you are interested, you can read a primer here:

Articles of the Day

For a while now, I've been doing daily writing, and sharing an article each day with a few people on Discord, in my chapter (Articles Anonymous), and on the wonderful Storyteller's Circle run by Myth-X. Recently, I was encouraged to start including WorldAnvil notifications for my daily articles, and now that I've finished Summer Camp (with 42 articles!) I'm going to start sharing my daily articles here as well. Hope you are all having a wonderful time, and happy worldbuilding!

by Kranjax via Midjourney

Hello and welcome! I'm Demongrey, and I am a dad, technologist, and writer. I'm a longtime player and GM of tabletop roleplaying games, and my writing is focused on that hobby. I also write as a mental health practice, as I find it is important to my overall sanity in these stressful times. To that end, I've made a committment to writing at least 325 words a day. The world I'm currently working is called The Million Islands and is intended as a setting for the aforementioned tabletop rpgs, and also as a place where I can embed all the random bits of history and folklore that have been rattling around my head.
