Hello. My name is

Simon Belt

About Me

I’m a dedicated youth activities leader, regularly go climbing, and have a passion for the fantasy genre and building worlds. Over the years, this hobby has brought me to write and self-publish extensive imagined histories, run a number of roleplaying games, and even start a student fantasy association.

Simultaneously, I’m highly engaged in youth sports: I’m active in the cadre of my local Kadetten group, organizing both regular Saturday activities as well as camps, and co-lead WWF camps in summer and autumn.

I study Computer Science, focusing mostly on fantasy worldbuilding in my free time. Starting with self-taught HTML in 2019, I have since had the opportunity to design sites for several awesome projects, including the Inventory of Knowledge, a didactics information repository, the Climate Contract, a student sustainability undertaking, and Many Isles, a fantasy hub.

Whatever the project, I always delve into the undertaking with lots of energy and a systematic approach. Find out more about what I've done →
