Mark0 Summer Camp Reading Challenge 2025

This years Summer Camp proved to be a bit more hectic than usual, but I still had a lot of fun with this (I even managed to surpass my goal of reaching silver in my Summer Camp 2025 Pledge & Homework!). This has been a great creative exercise, and it's allowed me to flesh out parts of my world I haven't focused on before (I will be going back to flesh some of them out further in the future). I've also had a chance to see some fantastic new worlds I haven't seen before! A short list of some of my favourite articles from this Summer Camp:

• Pumpkin Breadby strixxline. I enjoyed the cozy vibe of the article, especially since it reminded me of a family recipe I'm fond of.
• Dreadnoughtsby Jontaro. I thought it was an interesting take on a familiar monster, and the extra RPG details on tactics and loot were a nice touch as well.
• Thread Driveby JaxonLeeRose. I've always enjoyed sci-fi as well as fantasy, and I thought this was an interesting take on the typical "warp drive" you often see in such settings.
• Pothos Planeby Wordigirl. A short and sweet article with an interesting hook for further exploration.
• Ridgfordby Nulcheck. It was very interesting reading about this small town with such an interesting legacy behind it.
• Feral Bloomby Valcin. I found it interesting reading about the different ways this condition manifests itself among different people.
• Gnome Boat Warby Dazzlinkat. It was quite interesting reading about a "war" that didn't involve any actual military conflict, and the story attached to it was interesting to read too.
• The Feast of the Immortalsby Rashkavar. I was fascinated not only by the role this feast played among the gods, but also the possible connection it has to the creation of the Elves.
• Sunfire Loafby Make lore, not war. I enjoyed the cozy vibe of this article, and the attached recipe was a nice touch too.
• On the Nature of Alchemyby Evendawn. I enjoyed reading about their take on an often overlooked part of fantasy, as well as how it influences the cosmology of the setting.
  
  

I also wanted to give a shoutout to the world ofOniranby Jontaro, which I was intoduced to through this years summer camp. I really enjoyed the writing, art, and fantastical elements of this setting, and I look forward to seeing where it goes in the future.

I've got a lot of ideas I want to try and work on, and a lot of preperation for this years Worldember ahead of me, and I'm very excited to begin with it!
