World of Antra Science Fantasy (original) (raw)

About

Antra is a weird science fantasy setting drawing heavily on the rich history of mid-century Western fantasy and science fiction. If you enjoy thinking about, learning from, and playing MUDs, RPGs and MMOs, book reviews, heroic poetry and backstory development, you will find welcome in the City of Antra and something to think about in the Great Library.

I, Netwyrm, am interested in many things. To this end, I have developed several games, then torn them apart to build new things from the pieces. You'll find lots of material here about that process and how the World of Antra setting has been developed, using story properties as a lens for exploration of new ideas! Most especially, ways to break the connection with one-to-many, linear relationships in publishing and storytelling, whether print or television or film. I believe this subject is best explored in the space of games, so I've worked to learn to program. I want to see the pacing and depth of MUDs combined with the visual space of MMOs, while emphasizing the literary roots of the genre, not ignoring them in favor of mechanics.
