Welcome to Secondhand Gods, A Handy Legend

I thought it would be wise to add a handy little legend for this blog, as I've compartmentalized my work in my mind, and I know that compartmentalization might not be obvious to all readers.  Every post will start with a predefined title, followed by a small description of the content.  The predefined titles are described in the legend below (in no particular order), and will assist in sorting/searching by labels in the future.
  • Distilled Brain Sweat: research essays designed to interpret (and comment on) content I have found regarding worldbuilding as it pertains to the writing of fiction and creation of RPG (Roleplaying Game) worlds.  The latter, of course, can be a great device for determining the interest level in a given universe. 
  • Pure Brain Sweat: highly informal essays/articles, the result of my own deranged imagination and procedures for creating worlds for my own stories and games. 
  • (Civilized) Beastiary: articles about the multitudes of creatures in my universe, from the smallest domesticated pets to the largest, scariest, most vile monsters.
  •  Pinpoint Dossiers: articles about the various gangs, cabals, religions, and governments of my universe, as well as spotlights on specific "legendary" individuals.
  • Cartographical Society: think of this as a Frommer's Guide to my universe, covering various cities, towns, landmarks, space stations, et cetera et al.
  • Lexicon Nouveau: Every culture has its own language, and within each culture are numerous subcultures with variations, slangs, and idioms unique to them.  No worldbuilder can create a universe without giving its inhabitants a certain degree of linguistic flair.
  • Games Galore:  Using the 3.0-3.5 Wizards of the Coast Gaming systems (DnD, D20, SW) I'll probably begin, for fun, building a platform specifically for my work.
