"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour."
Auguries of Innocence, William Blake

I've created so many worlds for role playing games that they are like grains of sand. And I will create many more before I'm done I s'pose. I've got so much stuff lying around that I've decided to put a bunch of it out there for anyone that's interested.
