I was just having a rummage through old White Dwarfs with an eye to scraping up Judge Dredd adventures and maybe running them in a 40k hive city #city26

I decided to join the City'26 and here is my first compiled city district - the River Island, it's docks, streets and intrigue.

Description of the island is here: nolog.link/s/tdAZwP

Sneak peak at my process for #City26:

Been using google sheets to keep track of New Babylon wards I've written/want to write.

Comment with a ward name and I might throw it in!

Do I want people to read my #City26? Yes. But I'm not selling it to pay my bills. It just exists!

Over on my TTRPG blog, I've started a #City26 project detailing the districts of Myth's Landing, the setting for my dungeon-lit fantasy novel THE COMPANY.

Day 11 of #city26 and ward 2: North Sheerside is complete. 2 down 50 to go! Also been working on the map to help me plan ahead a little. Trying to stick to 2 page spread per ward. #ttrpg #worldbuilding #mothership

Hive RT-87 Rejoicing Torch - general info + example ward (City26) First progress report for City26 challenge - Hive Rejoicing Torch (RT-87) - known in the local vernacular as Rough Times or Regular Torment....

Never made an official announcement, but I'm participating in #City26 (just in case you haven't seen my blog posts)!

I'll be detailing New Babylon, a jazz-age midwestern city analagous to Chicago in the 1920s, and setting for my game CRIME WAVE. Thanks to @garblag.bsky.social for the excuse!

Gearing up for my first ttrpg session of 2026 has got my juices pumping. Thinking I might try one of those big daily activities like #city26 Would love to join anyone deciding to give the whole thing a go, or if people have any alternatives.

First day of #city26 and Sheerfoot is off to a start!

For this #worldbuilding #rpgdesign challenge on our discord I am building out a science fantasy world setting for @mothership.bsky.social

City '26 Megapost Previously I provided details of a new world building/RPG design challenge for 2026 and promised to provide comprehensive details in a dedicated post. This is that post.: welcome to **City '26**! It’s also a “megapost” in that I’ll provide links to anyone else participating who wishes to share their blog: please provide details below or give me a shout on Reddit, discord or Instagram. Essentially the challenge is to build a city over the course of one year, each week detailing one ward. Peter Lattimore of _Garblag Games_ came up with this infographic while workshopping the idea on his server: --- Infographic of City26 Challenge by Peter Lattimore, text below ## The Classic Here’s the original version of the challenge, codified by Pete. Don’t feel constrained by genre: this could be a fictional contemporary city, a far-future utopia, a Dying Earth era Sorcerer King complex or the capital city of your fantasy’s medieval campaign world. Ideally this is a project you’ve been thinking about already or perhaps one you have already begun. Commit to adding one detail of the ward every day, using the following schedule or adapting it to your requirements. Text below by Pete. > **Monday** > > principal building/monument/feature defining area and overview of the ward- who lives and works here? Is it rich, poor or what? > > > > **Tuesday** > > Random encounter table for district (bonus: day/night encounters) > > ** > ** > > **Wednesday** > > goods and services (with prices?) available to PCs here > > ** > ** > > **Thursday** > > key faction or NPC controlling (or vying for control or just embodying) district/area etc > > ** > ** > > **Friday** > > Rival faction or NPC specific to district > > ** > ** > > **Saturday** > > hooks and plots within the district > > ** > ** > > **Sunday** > > Transportation and connections to other areas ### **PLEASE TRY NO AI!** You can follow along on the Garblag Games Server via this link ## Other Variants You don't have to follow the schedule above, the challenge is to commit to consistent worldbuilding and hopefully end up with something that can be explored in play. You could... * Treat this as a reiteration of Dungeon '23: exploring a huge ruined city, one room at a time * Do the legwork: follow Sam Sorenson's suggestion and detail how many HP each of its denizens possesses a la City State of the Invincible Overlord * Follow whatever model other city-based games (_Gangs of Titan City_ , _Spire_ , _Necromunda_) utilise and either expand or provide greater detail * Exercise your artistic talents and detail architecture, clothing, trade goods, weapons found in each district on a weekly basis I'm attempting to flesh out my existing _City of 100 Gods_ project, so plan to tailor the schedule to fit the flavour of that world specifically: I'm not committing myself to detail transport every week, for example. ## Participants in the Challenge Links to other City '26 participants will appear here at the participants' request! Please don't link your own approach to the challenge if you intend to use AI. ## Links City of 100 Gods Post https://aloneinthelabyrinth.blogspot.com/2025/12/city-of-100-gods-traders-wake.html Garblag Games Patreon (you can join for free, City '26 post will be publicly accessible I believe) https://www.patreon.com/cw/GarblagGames Pete's Discord https://discord.com/invite/DPgQjr7 Dungeon 23 https://seanmccoy.substack.com/p/dungeon23 In Praise of Legwork https://samsorensen.blot.im/in-praise-of-legwork

#blogospherefind #ttrpg #city26

A "sort of map" for my #city26 project. Sheerfoot and the spreading conurbation around Mirror Lake. It's simple but is mostly to help me track progress and think about ward purpose and positioning. Just a few days left to join us discord.gg/HgenGxNzQa

Anyone up for #City26 in January. Getting a fresh notebook for this one and fleshing out a science fantasy @mothership.bsky.social setting. #ttrpg #worldbuilding
