We had to sit there and listen to it crawling along the outside of the bus. It was nothing if not patient.

Travel around space in an unknowable alien horror!

My players found a Nautiloid, badly injured, crashed into the canopy of a jungle. They got rid of the Mindflayers, cleaned it out and made a new, space-faring friend! Today they had their first taste of the Astral Plane…

“I don’t give a damn about some suits and ties in the galactic core and their Splicing and Tampering Laws. An engineered beast is a thousand times tougher - and more loyal - than any construct, and that’s a fact.”

How on earth would you feed a city of over 200,000 people when the land around you was a swampy lake? Seems like an impossible task, but the Aztec managed it by creating floating gardens known as chinampas, then they farmed them intensively.

These ingenious creations were built up from the lake bed by piling layers of mud, decaying vegetation and reeds. This was a great way of recycling waste from the capital city Tenochtitlan. Each garden was framed and held together by wooden poles bound by reeds and then anchored to the lake floor with finely pruned willow trees. The Aztecs also dredged mud from the base of the canals which both kept the waterways clear and rejuvenate the nutrient levels in the gardens.

A variety of crops were grown, most commonly maize or corn, beans, chillies, squash, tomatoes, edible greens such as quelite and amaranth. Colourful flowers were also grown, essential produce for religious festivals and ceremonies. Each plot was systematically planned, the effective use of seedbeds allowed continuous planting and harvesting of crops.

Between each garden was a canal which enabled canoe transport. Fish and birds populated the water and were an additional source of food. [x]

This is literally so cool. Not only does it contribute to spacial efficiency, but the canals would easily keep pests, weeds, and possibly even diseases out of the respective plots. Companion planting and bio-intensive planting would be so much easier. Water-wise systems would be inherently present. Plus it looks so super neat aesthetically. I am just all about this.

Indigenous civilizations invented sustainable development way before there was a term for it.

[baedlyweathered]

this was also a simple way of doing aquaponics, since the fish they raised in the canals helped fertilize the plants, and the plants cleaned the water for the fish

Here’s my entry! It’s about Eden, the birthworld of Humanity. It’s short for now, but I plan on fleshing all of these out for @worldanvil‘s Worldember

Eden is the seat of power and cradle of life of Humanity. As with the Verin, it is only within the last couple millenia that Humanity has reached for the stars and taken flight to land among its many worlds, to grow, and expand, and thrive. Even with all this growth, however, Eden remains its home, a gleaming palace of a billion colors sprawling with criss-crossed swarms of glistening traffic and impressive edifices built upon.

The planet has grown and collapsed many times. Under its fresh growth and splendor are the old scars of world wars past—pockets with traces of radiation, forests turned to deserts, and swaths of land carved by the melting of ice caps. These scars do not mar the world, however. Humanity has rebuilt, it has made life from the ash and desolation of earlier eras.

And Humanity formed plenty of the dust of the ground, and breathed into its lands the breath of life; and Earth became a living soul.— The Somnolent
