  • Quantum Socks are up

    Excluding the rules for designing your own pair of safe socks (Anzi Talking Socks, or Quantum Socks), all the Quantum knitting stuff is up. I’m coming down with something, so the Safe Socks Rules will have to wait.

  • Quantum Entanglement, God Immanent, and Talking Socks

    So I got to reading about quantum entanglement and thinking about how it could be used in with worldbuilding to create a magic system. Quantum entanglement is the extraordinarily cool fact that quanta—the very, very smallest, indivisible particles that are force carriers for the matter of the universe—form connected pairs, and these pairs have connections…

  • Starting Type-In

Have had a few rejections lately, which…
