Canada Worldbuilding

[Kannik]

In 2026, the Hodgepocalypse will begin with the Month of Minotaurs. I had an absolute blast building on what was written in the Book of Arrogance. reposting my old Minotaur rant to get people ready. Of Minotaurs and Men

As someone who loves 'taurs of a different sort (of the four-legged variety, including publishing 3e, 4e, and 5e supplements for them), I raise a toast to you and your joy of Minotaurs! Here's to a fine year for taurs of all types.

The Coliseum District isn't just loud—it's structural. A wound in time that sings back, containing pressure so the rest of Ed-Town doesn't break. Shut it down, and something worse answers.

“If you’re lost, you’re probably where you’re meant to be.” The Coliseum District squats in the heart of Ed-Town like a half-remembered dr...

Capital Parkland - Part 10 - Coliseum District - Part 02 - It’s Tuesday at the Coliseum Minotaur society runs on ritual, not hierarchy.
Soundchecks before danger.
Pits instead of courts.
Battle of the Bands instead of street wars.

The Coliseum works because this culture contains what answers the noise. Capital Parkland - Part 10 - Coliseum District - Part 02 - It’s Tuesday at the Coliseum

Minotaur roles aren’t careers—they’re recognized ways of being useful.
Capital Parkland - Part 10 - Coliseum District - Part 03 - Paths of Power
Fixers. Scouts. Drivers. Rig Doctors. Guardians. Channelers. Rockers.
Authority comes from competence under pressure, not volume. That’s why the culture holds when things answer back.

Capital Parkland - Part 10 - Coliseum District - Part 04 - The Living Labyrinth
The Coliseum's layout changes because fragments of Minos leak through it.

Music stabilizes corridors. Emotion opens doors. Some spaces remember you.

Ed-Town stopped mapping it. Minotaurs didn't—they just stopped pretending maps were supposed to be quiet.

Axel gives off a real spinal tap feel when he explains the map.

What have you seen and done to turn Canada into a gameable world?

Added flannel and denim as damage types

Capital Parkland - Part 10 - Coliseum District - Part 05 - When the Minotaurs Go on Tour
Minotaur tours are treated as foreign relations events across the Capital Parkland.
Each faction reacts differently—not because they disagree on danger, but because they understand it differently. Noise becomes diplomacy.
Rhythm becomes containment.
This is how unstable regions stay standing.

Capital Parkland - Part 10 - Coliseum District - Part 06 - The Monsters of what will never be
The Minotaurs did not come alone.
When their world split, it bled monsters through the wound—arena-born consequences drawn to sound.
The Coliseum stands as a cage with a rhythm, because
Minotaurs have already watched one world die screaming for an encore.

Captial Parkland Part 11 - Mayor Larry and EURP

When the world fractured, a psychic rock musician named Larry kept the city alive by turning it into an instrument. By stabilizing ley lines with sound and psionics, he created Ed-Town — the Festival City Eternal.

Now known simply as Mayor Larry, he can’t fix everything himself anymore. So he founded the Ed-Town Urban Reclamation Project (EURP): a civic agency where adventurers rebuild infrastructure, recover culture, and keep hope alive.

It’s bureaucracy.
It’s heroism.
And yes — there are psychic cats.
