Author/Artist/Designer
My name is Stephen, and WildLands is a passion project that represents the culmination of interests and inspirations from my youth. It also acts as a playground for me to learn and experiment with the various technologies and mediums I teach in my vocation as a professor of animation, game art, world building, and illustration. My artistic focus is on creating activities and settings that foster storytelling, creative thinking, improvisation, and problem solving.
Why PWYW?
WildLands is pay what you want and does not contain DRM in digital material because I want my work to be accessible to whoever would like to play in the sandbox I have created. If they enjoy it, I hope they return to support the game. Since I do all the work for this project and am lucky to have a job that provides me with the time to do it, I have the rare privilege of not relying on my game work for a living.
Can I create content for WildLands?
No. You can, however, homebrew any content you like for you and your friends based on Wildlands, but their is no licensing and no one can sell WildLands products.
A.I.
I do not utilize any generative AI when creating any work for WildLands. WildLands writings and images are not eligible for and cannot be used to train AI in any way. (The use of generative A.I. is pathetic, in my personal opinion. The whole point of art is actually doing it and making the decisions)
Freelance
At this point I am not looking for freelance writers or illustrators.
I found an error or mistake
Yes, WildLands v1 contains mistakes. I am using all the lessons learned and feed back received from the creation of WildLands v1 to improve and refine my ideas for the 2nd edition.
