Something I’ve been working on in my revamps is trade. In Three Pantheons, it largely revolves around WHAT is being traded. For Three Pantheons, the divine realms generally are in a bit of a Cold War standoff with the technological areas. And one thing I’ve decided to do is to play with transmutation. At the […]

“Term”-inal velocity
So back when I was much younger, before the first Protogen was activated, and the first Dutch Angel Dragon had manifested, Anthrocon had not yet broken 2500 attendees, and Uncle Kage had a full head of hair, I joined a D&D campaign played online over Avians.net IRC. Started in 2004, and played over OpenRPG and […]
The future of “Three Pantheons”
So Sundered Shroud is finally in a good place where I’m comfortable. But as that’s largely a setting I run for RP, that’s going to probably move to the back burner for a while now. So I’m turning my attention elsewhere. For the setting of another character. And while eventually they’re all going to get […]
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
I’ve had ADHD for a long time. And getting me to do anything was…hard. About 2013 I started using HabitRPG, now Habitica, as a task tracker. The difference was so great that some people actually asked me what I was doing differently! That said, I plateaued there a while ago. And the site hasn’t meaningfully […]
Three Pantheons Workshop: Divine Marks (Part 1)
So this is going to be part of a new thing I do. As I work on revamping the original Three Pantheons setting for my own use, I think it will be important to examine some of the initial concepts used in the setting and analyze them. See what they were doing narratively, the problem […]
Monthly round up
So last month I ended up going to a bunch of music concerts, more than I planned. In total I saw Weird Al Yankovic, Glyph, Gloryhammer, Alestorm, DragonForce, and PowerWolf. Great time, though I think I picked up a bit of something at the last concert…been sick about a week, but mostly better now. Also […]
Sundered Shroud overview
In the distant past of Earth, there were great wars which no one remembers. Where the inhabitants of the material, normal world fought against those of an alternate magical world, for who would have influence. Going on for years, eventually a sect of gnostics called “Druids”, seeking to stop the constant struggle, enacted a powerful […]
More Bird Rites
After the last post, my friend ircnetsplit (go check out his books!) mentioned a potential myth for Thordani feather imping. “I’m seeing a (possibly embelished, possibly not) story of a group that got mauled pretty badly by something (combat, accidents, etc) and they pool their feathers to one person who goes for help or to […]
Characterization
I’m a tactical RPG fiend. I originally started playing Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis in 2002 based on articles in Nintendo Power. Later I got into Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, and a few years after that, XCOM: UFO Defense. A big part of my enjoyment of these games is the puzzle […]
Bird rites
One thing I like exploring in some of my art commissions and stories are how cultures might have different developments, based on various factors. With the Thordani, a race of eagle people, there’s been a bit of ink spilled over this. Particularly their religious stuff. They’re from a Greyhawk-inspired D&Dish world originally, and while I […]
