A vast and ancient skgri construct-world, adrift in the Alpha Centauri system.
Friendly, dog-sized spiders engineered for the fledgling Martian ecosphere.
The second major moon of Jupiter, a world of cold, lightless seas and strange creatures that drift through the dark.
The peaceable meta-civilization which encompasses the majority of known space.
A universal timekeeping system used as the modern academic standard of time.
Hiya! I'm Doug "Spyglass" Marshall, with SpyglassRealms as the moniker I operate under in some form or another across the web. Creative polymath, existential nihilist, staunch humanist, science nerd, wistful wannabe-futurist, and two-time Worldbuilding Awards winner. Or, in summary: a very ridiculous ape who thinks about infinity just a little too much. All the places I can be found in the virtual universe are on my Linktree!
