Hi! I'm Rin, queer storyteller and aspiring otherworldly entity, based in the US near Boston, Massachusetts. I've been imagining stories for as long as I can remember, and writing them down since I was a teenager. My work often involves strong-willed characters, complex relationships, and conflicting desires, with inspiration from philosophy, sociology, and organizational behavior.   The other nerd to my name is my husband, my #1 biggest fan.   I have a few projects here on WA:


wow that's a lot of stars

a sci-fi adventure of dubious intentions

Ten planets connected by metadimensional space, divided by ideals, and held together by one beleaguered organization.

My primary setting is a grounded science-fiction setting used with the Stars Without Number TTRPG system. Follow this world if you like space travel, alien planets, psychic abilities, and tabletop shenanigans. I also post prose, homebrew, and GM tips.
 
World of Worlds

Share your world with the world, and find your new favourite. The World of Worlds is fully self-submittable, with resources for new and old worlds alike.

Created by Annie Stein, the World of Worlds is designed to help World Anvil users find other Worlds to follow. I mainly help with formatting and editing. Add your own World to the lists, and follow for notifications on future updates.
 
Rin's Overworld

How-to guides, event hubs, and other meta information for projects I work on.

I also have a meta world that holds things like reading challenges, event hubs, and how-to guides. Follow if you like stats, events, recommendations, and learning things the official guides don't tell you.
 
  Still looking for more? You can also check out my smaller projects. Su-mehr Qiamp was a short-term project for SummerCamp 2025, and You Are Here Now is my prose-focused World that I don't update very often.
