Community
At Xibalba, the studio is more than stations and skin, it’s a launchpad for stories, movements, and mutual transformation.
We believe creative energy should have many outlets. Some projects are tattoos. Some are podcasts. Some are digital tools, community rituals, or acts of quiet rebellion. This page holds them all.
If you have a vision you want to grow — or you feel called to contribute to something already alive — this is your invitation.
Below are some of our current projects.
Enjoy.
Story
🟦 VeilRift: A Fractured World with a Living Heart
VeilRift is a high-fantasy setting shaped by floating islands, elemental dragons, ancient ruins, and fractured timelines — a world stretched thin by catastrophe, held together by memory, myth, and the people brave enough to rebuild.
But more than that, VeilRift is a mirror — built to explore human emotion, recovery, rebellion, and resilience. Every culture in Aetheria carries the echoes of survival. Some rise from ruin. Some isolate. Some risk everything to build something better.
The result is a world of tension and transformation, where magic is not just power — it's responsibility.
This is the narrative foundation.
What makes VeilRift different is what comes next:
We’re not just telling stories. We’re opening the world.
🟦 A Shared Myth, Powered by Community
VeilRift is the first living story-world where Xibalba’s community tools come to life.
It starts as a tabletop RPG — but becomes something deeper: a collective myth that evolves through the people who play, write, and create within it.
Here’s how it works:
Anyone can submit floating islands, factions, adventures, lore, or artwork
The community votes on seasonal themes, political shifts, and canon content
Selected contributions appear in official releases — with real royalties, not just credit
Every few months, a new “season” begins, anchored in shared world events
The lore lives at VeilRift.ca, but the evolution happens here — inside Xibalba’s collaborative infrastructure. This isn’t about locking down canon. It’s about unlocking authorship.
We're not just handing off the map. We’re offering the tools to draw new ones together.
Loyalty
🟦 We Don’t Just Build Projects — We Build Leverage
Every product we create is community-informed, white-label ready, and designed to return power to the people using it. We don’t guess what features matter — we ask. We listen. We co-build. Then we ship it with dignity and transparency.
We believe the most powerful systems come from the ground up — not the top down, so we believe in building for community first.
Your needs shape our roadmap. Your voice becomes the spec.
This isn’t just about features — it’s about collective control.
We’re building:
Digital tools that act like digital unions
Platforms that consolidate community purchasing power
Spaces where user data is owned, not extracted
Feedback loops that serve people, not shareholders
When we scale, we scale with soul — because the endgame isn’t just growth.
It’s ownership. Agency. Alignment.
A network of communities who don’t just consume — We organize. We decide. We build together.
That’s the Xibalba way.
🟫 A Testbed for Trust-First Community Tools
At Xibalba, we’re building systems that help people take care of each other.
Track the Pack is the first public test of that vision — a modular, white-label platform designed to support real communities, not just branded ones.
In this case, it’s built around a dog-walking challenge. But under the surface, the infrastructure is flexible, scalable, and rooted in one core belief:
when you design from a place of care, everything works better.
Track the Pack isn’t just about pets. It’s about creating shared space:
A place where families can track progress, earn rewards, and stay connected — even if they’re using different tools, tags, or timelines.
It’s a platform built to live beyond the boundaries of any one business — where data ownership stays with the people who create it.
By organizing around what we value — our animals, our families, our neighborhoods — we create our leverage.
We model what transparency and ethical design can look like.
And when enough people see that a better way is possible, even the biggest institutions will be forced to evolve.
This is just one example of what our tools can do.
It won’t be the last.
🟩 What We’re Really Building
Behind every feature in Track the Pack is a larger system we call the Xibalba Community Core — a modular framework designed to power real communities, not just manage them.
This isn’t a CRM with lipstick. It’s infrastructure for mutual aid, visibility, and autonomy — built from the ground up with roles, privacy, and participation in mind.
At its core, the Xibalba Community Core includes:
Account-based data tracking with transparent ownership
Role-based visibility and granular privacy controls
Public and private group logic (for families, teams, or anonymous circles)
Milestone and badge systems to recognize engagement over time
Real-time dashboards that show collective trends, not just individual metrics
What starts as walk tracking and pet profiles in Track the Pack is already designed to scale into:
Artist co-ops managing shared visibility and income
Health collectives tracking goals without exposing private data
Local governments inviting citizens into participatory budgeting and neighborhood planning
Education pods coordinating schedules, shared resources, or student milestones
What makes this different is who it's built for — and who it’s built with.
Organizations can brand it.
Communities can shape it.
Individuals can control their data and their experience — not just opt in or out of someone else’s.
This is infrastructure you can actually grow with.
Built to scale sideways — not just upward.
🟪 Why Start With Pets?
We started here because it’s real.
Walking the dog is a daily ritual — low-stakes, high-frequency, and emotionally grounded. It’s the perfect place to test what actually works: not just UX, but trust, rhythm, and resilience. It’s also inclusive by design.
People can use our tags, third-party trackers, or no tech at all. Manual uploads work just as well. There’s no paywall, no forced adoption — just an open invitation to connect.
That’s the deeper test:
Can we build systems that don’t rely on coercion, and still deliver value?
Can we create tools that meet people where they are, and still move them forward together?
If it works here — with something as simple and universal as walking your dog — it can work anywhere.
And that’s the plan.
This is just the beginning.
Every feature here is a prototype for something bigger.
More communities.
More autonomy.
More ways to reclaim the systems we move through.
Legacy
🔱 Grumpy Old Dad Ink– Reg Morrell’s Private Studio
GodINK is the private studio space of Reg Morrell — a master tattooist, mentor, and survivor whose work speaks in second chances, hard-earned wisdom, and linework that doesn’t flinch.
This isn’t a franchise. It’s not a storefront hustle.
It’s the studio Reg built after the world broke — and he decided to rise anyway.
GodINK now operates inside Xibalba as a fully autonomous studio.
Reg books his own clients, sets his own rhythm, and chooses his own apprentices. The rest of us?
We’re just lucky to witness it.
