So I have seen a number of #GameMasters and #TTRPG community have posted stories about their games and snippets of worldbuilding. I'm currently running a game as well. It's a contemporary "big city" paranormal sci-fi mystery vibe.
Would anyone be interested in reading more? I would post more of my #SFFantasy writing, but the game is what's holding my focus right now.
Question for the #Worldbuilding and #SFFantasy creatives. All else being equal, how would present day society look and work differently if humans had an asymmetrical body plan?
For simplicity, let's assume bilateral asymmetry. Like a crab that has one large claw and one small one. Things to consider:
- Fashion that accentuates asymmetry?
- Handness is determined by anatomy
- Are there "lefty" claws and "righty" claws? What is the ratio?
- Door handles, elavator panels, armrests, and other mundane daily items
- Mirrors? Selfie cameras?
#TTRPG nerds get in on this too.
In a break from the inescapable doomscrolling, let's talk maps.
I saw maps mentioned as an aid to accessibility, in relation to computer games and books.
The poster, speaking from experience, highlighted this an an issue for those with dyslexia/dyspraxia who frequently can’t do mental maps.
I'm interested in thoughts from those with dyslexia/dyspraxia and other variations in information processing*.
*Is that the best way to put this? If not, please let me know.
