Multidisciplinary nerd bird. Occasionally working on a furry sci-fi #conworld (see link). Happy to discuss anything, but not particularly active.
Can't answer for @BlubberSeal, but in my hand-waved sci-fi setting, I've gone with a two-part solution for pets.
-
Feral animals are genetically and socially far enough removed from anthros to be considered their own primitive species. They are treated like in our world.
-
Pets are inconvenient in a high-tech space future, so if anything, most people have robot pets designed as small feral animals. These double as ‘intelligent’ personal technological interfaces (think smartphones, but cool).
@Gradually_Adjusting I started out using Nuclino as a combined wiki and project management tool, but the free plan became too small.
Now I use offline Markdown notes (Zettlr or Gedit), publishing to a personal “wiki” (Docusaurus). For rough drafts I use my ReMarkable.
However, I'm not much of a GM yet – I've done some worldbuilding but only run one one-shot so far. I'm preparing for a full campaign this year, so I'll make sure to check out Kanka and other recommendations in this discussion!
@Gradually_Adjusting Interesting concept! I like the moral twist of an inverted Matrix. As an aside, I know you said where you got your inspiration, but I can't help but be reminded of children's books like Inkheart and The Neverending Story. There's just something about stories coming to life (and trapping you).
