Hi! I enjoyed Visitors so much I have created an AI setting based on it, and I'm also writing a sci-fi novel. You can find them here:

Peace Keepers Of The Consortium

Thanks for the reply! I'll tread carefully!

I'm removing the AI generated art from my 24XX modules and using images from the actual series. So far I've updated the three modules named in the post title. The rest of the modules I'm updating as I go along, and aren't currently available.

Question for the audience: The original Conan stories by R.E. Howard describe a character that doesn't look exactly like the Marvel Comics version, or the Arnold version from the 80s movies. The Conan module is based on the Howard stories and will probably have 3-5 images in it. What version of Conan should I use in the module?

The title of my novella is Non-Retrieval. It is in the military science fiction sub-genre, inspired by the classic movies Aliens and Starship Troopers. The novella is priced at $3.00. I'm making it available under two separate Creative Commons Licenses. The English fiction / text version can be shared freely, but not sold. Derivatives of the fiction can be used in your creative projects, including video games and role-playing games, and can be used commercially. Promoting my fiction writing this way broadens the audience, and it also gives you a chance to make money from it, if you enjoy the story enough to adapt it to your gaming or other projects. More information can be found on this novella's Itch page, and in the novella itself.

The novella's cover blurb: For rookie Spaceman Harold Douglas, the mission sounded simple enough. Take the squad of Space Marines out, discover why the outpost had gone offline, and bring them back home in one piece. That was before the transport suddenly vanished, stranding them all on an alien planet. Now, they are fighting for their lives against the greatest threat humanity has ever seen. Rating: MEDIUM controversy.

These are scenario modules for the 2400 TTRPG micro-game, with character suggestions and random tables to generate unique adventures. Even if you don't play the game, you can still take advantage of the random tables. I've got nine of these so far, and will be adding a few more in about a month, once I finish up my current writing project. Be sure to see my creator page for the rest of 'em!

Regnum Universale is an open world project where anyone can come in, take a look around, and come up with their own ideas to use in their creative projects. And if someone wants to add to the world through Creative Commons, they can certainly do so. Some content for Regnum Universale will be created through my personal creative effort, some will be based on or inspired by public domain works, and some will come from AI sources, because AI can come up with, in seconds, what used to take me weeks and months, even years, to research on my own. The purpose of this project is to tell better stories, in whatever medium you're using.

To clarify, informational documents I produce through Regnum Universale are licensed as Creative Commons BY NC. That means attribution and non-commercial, because I want the content of the documents to stay free. However, if you'd like to write a book or create a video game based on these concepts, the license for that is CC BY. That means derivatives, even commercial uses, are okay as long as you credit the source. (I just noticed this is not clear on the first two documents I've just put out. I will change that shortly!)

The first two documents I've released for Regnum Universale are titled Planet Valkyrie and Amazons Versus Valkyrie. I will release other documents in different genres as time goes on, mostly fantasy, horror and sci-fi stuff, the genres I write in, but you're welcome to add your idea in other genres as well. Be sure to follow my creator page if you're interested, and a link to my discord is included in each document. Help me make this concept thrive!

I'm a fiction writer and solo ttrpg gamer. To further my understanding of how story plots work, I started jotting down notes on whatever I read or watched on TV, circa 2018. When Big Gov mandated that people stay in their homes, I had the time to watch entire seasons of my favorite shows or movies, and I started organizing my notes a little better to include villains and campaign outlines. Conan and Space: 1999 are two of my all-time favorites, and I had the idea that if I wanted to place a new character in similar worlds, I could imagine new scenarios or stories inspired by the originals.

Nowadays, I still continue to jot notes out of habit, and I have built two good-sized collections that we can use in action-based fantasy and space science fiction projects, whether it be for story-telling, table-top gaming, or anything else you might be working on along similar tracks. My first collection on Fantasy has been available on Itch for about a month. The second collection on Sci-Fi was released today. Both are Pay What You Want titles. My intention here is to promote your imagination in a fun way, and to inspire your projects in directions you may not have thought of. If you'd like to learn more about my e-books, you can find them on Smashwords under my pen name of Raymond Towers. Most everything I write is in the HIGH controversy range, meaning PG-17 and R ratings, so my fiction is NOT for everyone.

That said, here are links. Note that each collection has multiple categories in it, listed on the main pages. If you're a fan of either genre, I'm sure you'll find something in them that will interest you.

I wanted the results to stay true to the series, plus I was fascinated in creating an adventure that had both Prof. Bergman and Maya in it.
