Icewall
𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄: Any world (no matter how improbable) in a spatiotemporally infinite rule-based random universe is virtually certain to exist (merely occupying a smaller portion of phase space).
𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐘: Any world that someone thinks is “cool,” given sufficiently advanced means of production, is virtually certain to be produced.
Icewall is a meta-setting for RPGs and stories; any book/game/TV mash-up might occur on this surreal infinite plane of ice -- superheroes, superscience, psionics and magic, space opera (there is at least one galactic disc); very unpleasant things, people, organizations, conspiracies, and strange occurrences -- contradictions are legitimate; an alien invasion doesn't need to cross light years of space, just a few thousand miles of Antarctic conditions (imagine Trantor attacked by a horde of cold and hungry cavemen). It all stemmed from asking myself "What if...?" one day.

Summary
〽 ♪ ♫
Do you want to build a site skin...?
Come on, let's go RNG !
♫ ♪1950s TV announcer voice cuts in:
Is that you whom I see, staring wistfully at flashy websites with eye-bleeding '90s randomization, never knowing what the next site in the webring might bring? Or how about you — yes, you, right there, reading this — do you yearn to expand the limitations of work skin RNG past the 500K char count, and you're not sure of where to turn?
Well, do I have a deal for YOU!Yes, my friends, you, too, can have the random surprise package of your dreams, with this handy-dandy never-before-seen unlimited time offer of one RNG Site Skin introductory proof of concept for the low, low, low price of a kudos and a comment (not that I'd complain about shares, subs, and bookmarks 😉)!
How whoa can you go?
* Reader participation required.
Bonus: Target n-tuple works with totally different rules from one single skin.
Cautionary tale: not 8 new RNG sources in DOM, only page source!

Summary
When surrounded by evil, can evil acts counter evils for the cause of good? In a small village reminiscent of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain in Burgundy, or the Rue De L'ancienne Poste in Beynac-et-Cazenac in Dordogne, an accordion playing “London calling” (the theme music of the TV show 'Allo 'allo) in the background, an angry would-be-hero in a world of literal monsters and mayhem finds that the lines aren't always clear nor the world always quite so brightly lit.
Please see the footnote at the end — it lists 22 sources for legally free RPG materials.

Deathworld Park by Charles_Rockafellor for feind
Fandoms: HFY - Fandom, Jurassic Park (1993)
11 Jan 2026

Summary
On a remote paradise garden-world, genetic engineers have created a deathworld recreational park. Now one of intergalactic civilization's most terrifying dreams has come true. Creatures known only to those hardy souls insane enough to travel the most inhospitable hellworlds now roam Deathworld Park, and all who wish can visit them.
Avery d'Arc, that galaxy-famous Deathworlder, the brightest star in the gossip column and the very talk of the metaphorical town, is invited as the celebrity guest to the exclusive opening, along with his Genomorph [alien] girlfriend Billie, and the Space-Catgirls áõŋː and raʔûR who came to visit and never left.
Designed by the brightest minds of a civilization the technology of which dwarfs imagining, all are assured of a perfectly safe and wonderful vacation....
NB: Close to a General rating, but still enough atmosphere with the Cat-girls that I chose a Teen rating to be on the safe side; at a friend's advice, however, I upgraded it to Mature on 11 Feb (it seems to be sort of in between the two, but when on the cusp, it's safer to err on the side of caution).

Summary
Billie Badass is from one of the galaxy's most dangerous and hardy species (though also, punnily enough, rather hearty ) — a Genomorph (a hermaphroditic species halfway between the Gelatinous Blobs of Futurama and the Pleasure GELFs of Red Dwarf; not precisely a Star Trek DS9 Changeling, but similar enough) — though not suicidally stupid enough to go near Humans... until one fateful trip. Now cast away, ze learns from a local — Avery, a Deathworlder — adapts, overcomes, and survives.
When you get to UWP X8779745, you might wish to consult the Traveller UWP charts.
NB 27 Sep 2021: 4th [short] story in series, added yesterday! (Happy almost-anniversary [17 Oct] to the first 2 Space Orcs stories in the series!)

The Space Orcs are coming, hooray, hooray! by Charles_Rockafellor
Part 1 of Tell me more about this Earth-thingSeries Information:
ID: 1975186
Words: 47,434 | Works: 7 | Complete: Yes | Bookmarks: 9
Description:A shapeshifting Genomorph and a Deathworlder (i.e.: Human, a.k.a. Space Orc) meet under less than ideal circumstances. The Genomorph finds zerself in dire straits, zer ship marooned on Earth, and ze's surrounded by lethal wildlife of every description. Over time, they find each other not quite so alien as one might expect, and discover together that deathworlds and hellworlds can hold a certain charm.
In a later episode, the party grows as they're joined by a Space Cat-girl and her girlfriend, and all of the complications and hijinks that such things can entail.
Every time that I think that I've finished this series, a new idea crops up. For now (as usual) it's “Complete”... for a given value of complete. 😆
NB: If you're wondering, please see my tutorial “How to make and fix a series on AO3” (in a series with another tutorial on CSS work skins for fonts, which made that link become underscored blue ink [assuming that your browser settings, site skin, and third party apps didn't prohibit it]).
