#Marchistics 31. Thank you, Khonri, for organising Marchistics and making us think about things many of us (myself included) never did before.
It's always good to find ways to improve the world-building, making the world feel richer and more "solid," and these questions definitely accomplish that!

Alrighty! This marks the end of #Marchistics 2026. Have your typical free space. 😁
But I'm also curious to know what the most interesting thing you might have learned either in doing your own research or from someone else's responses.
I'll have a humble request in a reply to this when I wake up.

This is going to be a lot of fun and great for worldbuilding! I'm really looking forward to it!

I'm dropping the monthly list for #Marchistics now to give time for folks time to ponder and ask questions (I am VERY happy to help you brainstorm).
These are very generic categories as presented, but each of the daily cards will give you more to work with.

MarchWorldbuilders are done and handed off to Kira for final inspection. I think I've found a font I'm happy with for Marchistics.
I might actually get to play video games this weekend. 😁

A quick note separate from my own response: my December quarterly will focus on fictional creatures and be of similar style to the other three (tho likely most similar to Marchistics). Hope to see you then!
I might work this critter then, I might work something else, idk that’s three months out!

Most of my recent research has been done in breaking down supply chain processes into simpler pieces to focus on lore-able elements. This is becoming a prompt game for everyone called Marchistics. 💜

We got conventional medical aid augmented lightly with magical materials (for example see: #Marchistics and Vyratin) that's used by humans and works because of the small amount of ullipsum in their bodies.

Q's on the #Juniplex card so instead I will be telling a silly story about this question. My brain mixed up the terms "wound dressing" and "field dressing," so my spreadsheet originally said "field dressing the wounded."
Do not field dress the wounded, unless you're trying to terrorize the enemy.

Interpret "sale" however you want here, #Marchistics folks.
Can anyone obtain this thing, or is it blocked behind red tape and special requirements?
What happens if the "wrong" person or group gets their hands on it? Who gets punished? Is the severity universal or can some get away with a fine?

It has been some time since Marchistics!! And this time, I won't delve deeper into my fantasy setting that I've introduced during it and Septopolis.
This time, I'm squarely going to focus on Bloodied Rose - and my beloved Dhampirs. #Juniplex

Hello & good timezone, #Juniplex! Some of you might have decided this when I posted the monthly card, but we're starting out day 1 slow! What are you working on for June?
FYI: these prompts can be meaty. Feel free to pick and choose things if you don't have the bandwidth for the entire post. 💜

Idk if anyone remembers my #Marchistics posts but I talked about how Arx Lucis mines lucium all over the continent to make their numentech, which is also what keeps the city afloat. Reprobates are forbidden from numentech, but Julius is hoping to create a weapon to bring down Arx Lucis.

Well, to give some hints for what I am going to be developing for Marchistics, I will say that the government definitely regulates goods and services.
In fact, they enforce the gods' prohibitions on products commonly used in draconic research and scientific study.🧵

Howdy, #FebruaryWorldbuilders! Today, I want you to think about your fantasy world's economy. Is the government involved in any way? Do they regulate goods or services?
This question is a warm-up for Marchistics by Khonri next month. Join her for an in-depth exploration of logistics!

Alright y'all, I'm preparing to start carding up Marchistics. You will get a monthly card next Sunday to think on it for a week.
If you remember Septopolis, it was big-brain questions.
Despite the name, this goes beyond logistics into supply chain management. That might sound weird or be a lot. 🧵

Hi all. 💜
I'd like to present the list for the #Juniplex #WritingPrompt.
The basic theme is organized forces of FICTIONAL worlds: militaries, adventurer guilds, martial sects... that kind of thing. It's harder to encapsulate than city or supply chain.

Rather than a typical shout out day, I'm asking this as a silly hypothetical.
The walls of the Bluesky Literary Universe (BLU) have collapsed and our worlds all exist together now. Is there another #Marchistics supply chain discussed that yours might work with to adapt to this new world? How?

We move on to our finished products for the next days of #Marchistics!
First up, something near and dear to me: quality control.
"Garbage in is garbage out," so how are things controlled to ensure a conforming product? Is it only controlled at assembly or is it monitored in earlier phases?

These next three days of #Marchistics will give you the time to establish the basic "chain" most of the month's questions will be based on.
Final product should be easy: think like a sword, a cake, a vessel. What specific thing in your world is important for you to work on in-depth like this?

For the next link in the #Marchistics chain, I ask about something that your final product is made of, known as an "intermediate good." Not quite the raw material, but something in between!
As an example: for a sword, perhaps an ingot; a cake, sugar or flour; a vessel, beams, bolts, or brackets.

Does the production of your #Marchistics end item prop up an entire city (or kingdom/empire)?
If it's critical, what's done to ensure it continues? Does the government step in? Do people expect their children to go into this line of work? ...is it something sinister, by chance?
