Sing, oh goddess, of the wrath of Achilles son of Peleus,
that brought countless woes upon the Achaeans.

—The Iliad, Book I

Welcome to my worlds

A Thousand Worlds is my personal hobby site for everything fantasy and speculative fiction, with a particular focus on role-playing games (RPGs) of the C and TT varieties, constructed languages (conlangs), and fictional world-building as a form of art. It's likely to start as quite an ecclectic mix, and to only get more esoteric as I build on what is already here. You're welcome to poke around and see what you can find, just do remember to wipe your boots on the way in. Navigation's on the left (or at the top if you're on mobile), it'll take you where you want to go.

A quick word on politics: The fantasy genre and many of its associated media, including (TT/C)RPGs, have often had a bit of a problem with certain unsavory sorts of people—conservatives, fascists, nationalists, and every sort of bigot, attracted by the mythologisation of the past that is often implied by fantasy works and the predominantly white, cishetero, man-led stories that have dominated certain parts of the genre. We don't do that shit here. This website is created and run by a queer anarcho-communist, and I have no desire to be 'civil' with people who want me and the people I care about dead. If you are conservative, fascist, 'gender critical', or any other kind of horrible person, this isn't for you, and you can kindly fuck off back to your 4chan threads and Facebook groups. This is a place for the subaltern, the queer, the othered, and the punk.

Recent updates

25.04.2024—Added the Volcanic Heart Sorcerous Origin, as well as an index page to keep track of any other 5e subclasses I add to the site. It looks a bit empty for now, but if I keep updating this site into the future I'm going to expand it. I may even reupload some of my old material here, we'll see.
23.04.2024—Added next part of NWN custom class guide.
20.04.2024—Updated the NWN custom class guide with two new parts, one on creating class outlines and the other introducing Cjreek's Eos Toolset, which is a real godsend for the whole process. Next update will focus on filling out the class info page, including a sleight detour into making icons, probably, when I get to it.
18.04.2024—Started work on a guide to creating a custom class for Neverwinter Nights: Extended Edition (NWN:EE), because it was something I wanted to do anyway and I thought I might as well share my process so we can all learn together, eh? (Yes, I am aware the NWN index page is currently empty and the 'next' link goes nowhere because there isn't a 'part 1' yet— look, I only had so much time to work on this after my shift today so we're starting with the important stuff. )
20.03.2024—Added a Resources directory to collect a variety of useful links, from map generators to political theory. Not all of it is strictly relevant to the focus of this website, but all of it is interesting and worth a look/read for the inquisitive.
19.03.2024—Completed and uploaded first draft of my Weapon Actions project. I will likely look to add a pdf version of this system and potentially publish it on itch.io and/or DriveThruRPG down the line, but I want to get some playtesting in first. Any feedback on this subsystem is very much appreciated.
06.03.2024—Major overhaul, removing several elements and projects which I was no longer happy with. I am still very much in the process of deciding what I want to do with this space, and that's always going to include some false starts.
27.08.2023—The first line of HTML code is laid. It will still be many weeks before it is released into the wild.
