Guest Post By Me

Over at Low On XP there’s a guest post I wrote about World of Adel.

You can check that out for today, I talk about my motivations when writing World of Adel, and what I think about when I’m working on it. For the moment, I’m reading about 18th century English medicine in a book called “The Age of Agony” by Guy Williams, as well as gathering notes about some old microfilms basedon 17th century medicinal manuals, for a presentation about early medicine I’m working on. This will very likely bleed over into a World of Adel post about Adelian medicine at some point. I’m already thinking as I read “how would this compare to Adelian medicine?” These ideas are really inescapable to me. I wrote the Curious Technologies post after reading about Mutoscopes once.

Really, one thing I did not mention on the guest post, that I probably should have in hindsight, is that absolutely everything can be inspirational, if you can connect it to the culture you’re writing about.
