Hello all!

I suppose something like this has been a long time coming for anyone who's ever commented or even been nice enough to send a note, inquiring a little more about the story behind a lot of my own original concepts.

So, here's “Ossuary.”

I thought the best thing to do with all of it was make it all sort of a “freeverse” for anyone to share and take part in. In the download you'll find a lot of (purposefully) vague backgrounds, information, and images that suggest the general mood and feel of the universe.

Everything in here is “open,” - the races within, the gear, the vehicles, the story, etc.

I invite anyone to do whatever they'd want with it – whether that's create characters, use the world as a place to set roleplays – whatever. I'm not stingy – feel free to use your own characters in the setting. Make up a reason why they're there. It's partially why I left so much of the story blank. I wanted to provide the groundwork or springboard for anyone out there who's a creative spirit, but might have trouble getting things going. As someone who does a lot of day/night dreaming and creating, the biggest and most rewarding thing I can think of to do with that is to inspire others.

The only things I would ask is that whatever you do with this, if you do anything at all with it, is that you keep it free. I'm releasing all this under a sort of Creative Commons deal with the intent that anyone from anywhere can use it. So no commercialization.

The only other thing I ask is please, no offers of partnerships or co-ops. Feel free to (and I encourage you to) make up your own canon for how things came to be, new races, monsters, companies – whatever. Certainly, I'd love to hear about it, but no direct partnerships in coming up with anything new. I know that sounds a little cold and impersonal, but I do have reasons and its just to keep everyone sane and happy. It's a little hard to explain, but more informally: Not that I don't want to help anyone if they need or want it, but I don't want exclusive partners in creating things for it. I'm a lot more comfortable adding onto my own canon I have by my lonesome.

So all that being said – I hope somewhere, someone finds a little use for all this. Thank you all for the support, comments, notes, and kind words. Though I may not respond to every comment or thank for favorites, know that I do see them all and I do appreciate them.

Happy world-building,
L_D
