Sitting alone in a restaurant last night (note: here I invoke pity without explaining why), I took on this task.

I took the first three songs I heard and formed a story based on them. Since the restaurant in question was Fuddrucker’s, it was pretty much doomed to be oldies. These are the three songs:

The Ventures – “Walk, Don’t Run”
Del Shannon – “Little Runaway”
The Beach Boys – “Fun, Fun, Fun”

I haven’t, strictly speaking, gotten to the part about walk, don’t run, but I will in the next installment.

UPDATE: I’ve written more! And yet I still haven’t said “Walk, don’t run.” It’s all in the plan though.

The largest and last of the Azmoth articles. This one was actually one of the first created, but I was missing a section. No idea what happened to it. Anyway, I more or less fixed it. I’m not happy with it, but there it is.

Life 150 years from now.

This was originally conceived as a collaborative writing project that never took off. I wrote this document, but there was extensive contribution by Dan Wells and Robison Wells as I was putting the information together.

I remember being annoyed when I wrote this Azmoth article that it turned into a single article. They’re different empires, so I kind of felt that they deserved their own article. But the shared history and religion was enough that it didn’t justify repeating. Maybe I’ll think of a better way to organize it when I put together the pdf of the whole world.

This is another Azmoth article by Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield that shows his creative deftness. This was almost a complete departure that I had in my head when I wrote the first document in the series. And it’s also completely better. A fascinating set of people, these Silkurees.

Back to one I wrote all by my lonesome. You can tell the very different style from the ones by Kije. I like the idea of the Hegs, and the quetzls weren’t a bad touch. I went much more high fantasy than the previous entries in the Azmoth series.

While Bask is my favorite article, this is the Azmoth article with the most potential for use, in my opinion. Buckets of plot/adventure hooks and a firm culture to go around it.

I remember editing this one and being impressed with the ingenuity and creative mind Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield had — even regarding stuff we eventually cut out.

This Azmoth article was originally written by Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield under my direction. It was heavily modeled after Renaissance England or the Netherlands. Kije did a great job on all the articles, but I think this was my favorite.

Another Azmoth entirely by me. (The main document can be found here.) This one describes the peculiar traits unique to human beings on Azmoth.

This fantasy world section was written primarily by me and Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield for The Official Time-Waster’s Guide back in 2003. This particular article is 100% my own work, but a great many of the ideas in the further development of this setting were contributed by others, including Dan Wells, Jeff Crews, and Jordan Sanderson.
