Dear friends, as this year comes to a close I’d like to take a moment to remind you that WORDLBUILDING IS PLAY.
Please do not forget, but if you do I will surely be back to remind you.
It's finally here-- Arium: Flash
After three years in the making, we have all 120 contributions by 24 authors across diverse genres written, reviewed, edited, and finally released to the world!
Arium: Flash is 172 glorous pages of fill-in-the-blank adventures that can be table-ready for your narrative-focused roleplaying game sessions in minutes.
Let your imagination run wild and brighten up your existing campaign with Arium: Flash! Or, take a break and run a one-shot of something completely new to your group. Who knows? They might love it! It's also fantastic at filling the gap between worldbuilding with Arium: Create and running a session!
Flash is available now on the Adept Icarus shop at DriveThruRPG! Grab a copy, won't you?
This year’s LTUE - Life, the Universe, & Everything Symposium was something special. I’ve attended at least 6 times over the years, maybe more. At first when I was a wee baby writer and my eyes were so wide the whole time as I took in a ton of information from all of the awesome guests.
Later, I attended as a guest myself a few times, and one of the first full playtests of Arium: Create and Arium: Discover took place in the LTUE game room. I then moved to Florida and hadn’t been (other than virtually for one session) since 2019.
This year with Arium long since published, nominated for The ENNIE Awards, and closing out sales of our initial print run, I worked with the incredible Dax Levine and immeasurable Ryan Bouché to bring Arium and Adept Icarus full circle back to LTUE in a huge way! I was invited to be a special guest for gaming and we hosted Arium 42 (commemorating the symposium’s 42nd anniversary!)
104 people were in attendance for 2 hours of Arium 42, and they built an unforgettable interconnected world on 4 moons and 2 planets for use in fiction, games, and more! What an amazing experience! Friends and family came from everywhere to help: Emily Earhart, Katie Young, Adam Clayton helped at our booth and the event! Remi Munn and Christopher Munn were a huge help. Mari Anne Murdock, Daniel Yocom, John Mabey, Erika Kuta Marler, Wade Edwards, Ravyn Evermore, Ethan Sproat, and so many more I know I’m forgetting helped make this a huge success.
Thank you all so much! I’m working with a small team to compile and publish the results of this mass world building session and Adept Icarus will release it under the Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 license for anyone to use in their creative endeavors!
Special thanks again to Dax and Ryan who helped plan and execute this dream come true event! It wouldn’t have happened without you. I honestly don’t know how to thank you enough.

It's been a while (nearly 6 years to be exact) since Adept Icarus held an open call for writers. Some of those folks we've worked with multiple times since! It's time to do it again... so if you're interested, here's the details, and feel free to share! https://adepticarus.com/go/arium-open-call-2026
Y'all. Drew Gerken, Asha Ence, and I finished our full revision pass on Arium Evolve today! We're going to update all the examples, and then this thing will be ready for editing.
WHAT A FEELING! Also, these new features feel cohesive and very "Arium". After so much time and effort spent on other games and projects since 2021, I wasn't sure we'd be able to get back into the right headspace to recreate the magic, but wow, I think we did it!
Arium: Flash! Ah-ah! It’ll save every one of us.
