About

Richard E. Robertson is the author behind Waddle of Defiance and the Universe of Avel series—worlds that balance satire, wonder, and meticulous worldbuilding. His work spans genres and formats: poetry, political theory, AI architecture, RPG design, and books that stretch across thousands of pages.

Each project begins from the inside out. Laws have logic. Magic has metaphysics. Nations have constitutions. Stories have structure. The result is fiction that feels almost real—because it's built with the same care as reality.

Richard is also a software developer and co-founder of Missing Worlds Media, building procedural tools, narrative engines, and legal models to support both digital and literary creations. He doesn't chase fame or noise. He builds quietly, with purpose.

“Most of my work was made to be used, not promoted. But if you find something here that speaks to you—you’re welcome to walk alongside it.”

This page will continue to grow with reflections on tools, influences, process, and the strange joy of building serious things from fiction.
