This is a selection of combined jumps, settings for those interested in new worlds. Each original setting is composed of elements, themes, tones, etc. of its constituent jumps’ canonical settings, blended together in a way that hopefully creates a fertile place for stories to occur. Each combination has its own page, with a brief description of what makes the world unique, what sorts of adventures one may have there, and challenges a jumper may face. Most of these are pastiches – similar settings blended together for a world composed of common cliches and tropes. These 100 combinations are sorted into 20 groups that share similar setting or story qualities. Despite similarities, each visit to a combination in the same group will be to an entirely new world. The intended exceptions to this are groups that make up a single timeline (marked with a †), but you might find other worlds fit together to make an unexpectedly compelling timeline. How To Use This ocument This document is 125 pages long, and ain’t nobody got time for that. Jumpchain is a single player imagination game, and I can’t tell you you’re doing it wrong. But I can tell you how this document was intended to be used. Rather than reading through the whole thing, the Table of Contents features hyperlink entries, and there should be a panel to jump to different sections and entries in your PDF viewer’s user interface. It was mentioned above that there are 100 combination listings in 20 categories. This was by design. There are two ways to select a combination at random. For less control and more unexpected results, roll 1d100 and use that setting. For more control over where one jumps, roll 1d20 to determine a category, and pick your favorite from it. Then use the Table of Contents or your PDF viewer’s bookmark bar to go directly to where you need. Either method will quickly get your jumper to an original world. These worlds are, in most cases, left largely undefined and intentionally under-developed. These are starting points to do some world- building, develop an interesting cast of original characters, and come up with new stories. 4 1.1. AnachronismsAnachronisms anachronism (countable and uncountable, plural anachronisms) 1. A chronological mistake; the erroneous dating of an event, circumstance, or object. 2. A person or thing which seems to belong to a different time or period of time. These worlds often feature strange combinations of magic, technologies, and culture. The chaotic blend of apparently disconnected elements should lead to an interesting world by putting the focus on the juxtaposition of rarely connected setting elements and themes. Besides the coexistence of magic and technology, you may find the way these things are treated is different than you’d expect. Magic may be the subject of intense study and experimentation, while technology is treated with mysticism or reverence. This can lead to magitech: either as magical technology, or technological magic. Technology levels may differ wildly from area to area, or co-exist in the same area, without apparent rhyme or reason. “Pilot the hover craft closer, I want to hit them with my sword,” is a phrase that comes to mind. For internal consistency, there should be reasons for technological disparities and quirks to exist. With unequal developments in technology and magic should come inequalities in social dimensions as well. A group that has access to a recharging station can make better use of laser guns than one that has to use swords – in a conflict, one will probably end up on top. If a city has a rare water purifier, they’re probably going to be fundamentally different than the city that has to rely on catching rain for drinking water. Not all anachronisms are equal, obviously. There is a wide range of combinations of possible magic, technology, etc. Maybe swords get used because laser pistols are hard to charge – or maybe magical warriors with swords easily outclass regular people with lasers. On the whole, it’s nearly impossible to predict what a person could come across in worlds such as these – dinosaurs and robots are equally likely encounters. Or a robot riding a dinosaur. Or vice-versa. And such encounters might be hostile, or friendly, depending on the individual world. This means that the interpretation of the world is even more malleable than other settings. 5 1. Stray Future “The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see.” ― Edward Abbey CATastrophe Kemonomimi Fun in the

It has been accepted for inclusion in English Dissertations by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

Some things are from even earlier, like Lotsastuff’s collection. Thanks Lotsastuff, your pdf was inspirational. And all the Awesome Pioneer Dudes who built the foundations.

Go get a coffee and browse. Some links are encoded without a hyperlink to restrict spiderbot activity. You will have to complete the link. Sorry for the inconvenience. Others are encoded but have a working hyperlink underneath.

  • Immanentized Eschaton.Pg 12 a Bold Peace Stray Future Vigor Mortis Space Fantasy Red in Tooth and Claw Zoned 17
    MERGE CHAIN Version 2.0 !!/7+E9O+N4T1 Merges are worlds composed of elements, tropes, themes, tones, etc. of the constituent jumps’ canonical settings, blended together in a way that hopefully creates an interesting, original world to explore. Stable Worlds are a sequence of merges that take place in the same world. This means that, while a jumper has been there before, and has a history in a world, subsequent visits may explore different themes. Refraction Clusters are groups of merges with similar themes or ideas. Unlike stable worlds, each return to the cluster will reveal a new world. Rare clusters have a stable world in addition to non-returnable settings. TableTable ofof ContentsContents 1. Anachronisms...................pg 4 9.

    Page 22 Survival Horrality: Analysis of a Videogame Genre (1) Ewan Kirkland Introduction The title of this article is drawn from Philip Brophy’s 1983 essay which coins the neologism ‘horrality’, a merging of horror, textuality, morality and hilarity. Like Brophy’s original did of 1980s horror cinema, this article examines characteristics of survival horror videogames, seeking to illustrate the relationship between ‘new’ (media) horror and ‘old’ (media) horror. Brophy’s term structures this investigation around key issues and aspects of survival horror videogames. Horror relates to generic parallels with similarly­labelled film and literature, including gothic fiction, American horror cinema and traditional Japanese culture. Textuality examines the aesthetic qualities of survival horror, including the games’ use of narrative, their visual design and structuring of virtual spaces. Morality explores the genre’s ideological characteristics, the nature of survival horror violence, the familial politics of these texts, and their reflection on issues of institutional and bodily control. Hilarity refers to moments of humour and self reflexivity, leading to consideration of survival horror’s preoccupation with issues of vision, identification, and the nature of the videogame medium. ‘Survival horror’ as a game category is unusual for its prominence within videogame scholarship. Indicative of the amorphous nature of popular genres, Aphra Kerr notes: ‘game genres are poorly defined and evolve as new technologies and fashions emerge’;(2) an observation which applied as much to videogame academia as to the videogame industry. Within studies of the medium, various game types are commonly listed. These might include the shoot­‘em­up, the racing game, the platform game, the God game, the real­time strategy game, and the puzzle game,(3) the simulation, role­playing, fighting/action, sports, traditional and ‘”edutainment”’ game,(4) or action, adventure, strategy and ‘process­orientated’ games.(5) These clusters of game types tend to be broad, commonsensical, and under­theorized.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.
