There will be a lot of information on the inner workings of Ubi City in the coming months – and you can find out even more on the Wiki at https://fractopia.fandom.com – but what does it look like?
I’ve created the attached LookBook for fans and followers of the series, as well as anyone who wants to contribute to the UbiquiCity world, whether in the “canon” (books 1 and 2 now available at amazon), or the “sourcebook” (a work in progress to be released first to Patrons), or in their own extended stories (“fanfic” etc, some examples of which can be found here). It breaks the city down into its Districts, explaining each one in images and text.

Next joint from As If Books: I am curating a collection of literary ipseities that will leave you feeling weird and wanting more. Not gonna disclose any more right now, except to say that I love my authors, and if you like weird lit, I think you’ll love em too.
The Artifacts of Horror Jam is a vast collaborative project to create a solo tabletop journaling game. In playing the game, you will be investigating mysterious events that have transformed the city into a ghost town. The main prop for this ludic investiogation will be an archive — a collection of artifacts — made by a previous investigator, now mysteriously disappeared.
Each participant in the jam is creating one or more of these artifacts, inspired by a series of omens written by the project creators (mine is the one shown here).
All of the artifact entries, as well as the original omens, will be gathered into book form to make the solo game.
The Artifacts of Horror jam was conceived on The Lost Bay server by Alfred Valley | Archaeomancer/Neonrelic | Christian Platzer | Iko | Goblin Archives | Marx of High Water | Peter Eijk | Philip Jensen | STATIONS and a bunch of other fine folks.
