Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

A New Forum and a bit of Administration

You might have noticed that just below Cafe Cosmique a new forum has appeared, and it does what it says on the tin: RPGs now have a home, rather than competing for space in the Cafe, which has long had a little bit of a crisis of identity. We hope that dividing it up into the Cafe (for stories, art threads, and other creative works like that) and the new RPG Sector both will profit. We should see whether that bears out in the weeks to come!

Another small change is that following Livyatan's long period of inactivity, we have acquired the root admin position for the forum, which I now carry. What does this mean for you? Well, probably not much, but there are certain obscure scenarios where it's better to have a root admin who can rapidly respond if an issue arises.

Ah, hail Holben.

I think that this is an excellent idea, thumbs up from me.

Neet. I take it that the Game Masters of Apo and the SSU3 have mod powers in those subforums? Because I'd like to lock all of the non-SSU3 topics without having to bother a mod about it.

Also, you forgot to move and pin the background info and character creation threads for the SSU3.

Just moved both of those, I was sure I'd miss something.

You and Watcher should be moderators of the respective subforums now.

Sweet!

EDIT: They still need to be pinned, my dude. Unless I'm able to pin things now.

You should be able to do that, but I pinned both anyway.

Could Quester gain a subforum as well - I'm not saying right now, but feasibly in the future if popularity continues with it?

Yeah, that is definitely possible.

I'd like to ask each thread's first post to be visible on each of its pages in the new subforum, just like in the project subforums.

That would be nice, yeah. First posts like in the Paleozoo thread often have a lot of rules and explanations, and it'd be more convenient if we could see that on any page.
totally not British, b-baka!

To be honest I'm not very fond of that page format- I know some people like it because it can make TOCs visible from every page, though. If there's enough popular interest I can make it so, particularly with an interest in what people running games there would prefer.

Congratulations, Holben, on the new title and job. You will do swimmingly or better, I am certain.
