I’ve long been kinda irritated by the “Russia takes what’s left of Finland/Sweden” bit in my 3P timeline, but didn’t see any other way it would turn out under the starting conditions. But I think I figured out a fix. As evidenced, wars in the modern era are easy. Russia’s rot hasn’t set in fully […]

How hard is entering the realms?
Physically, not hard at all. The border between the three major realms vs the normal world (or “Scientific realm) can be walked across as easily as any state line or map border. Of course, there are defined border crossings and those are secured, and nominally the rest of it is monitored and secured. But as […]
Divine Marks: How they work, why they exist, and what the consequences are
Inside the realm areas, a lot of rules for physics and such are a bit different. But aside from various ‘passive’ things, there’s also what can be called ‘god magic’ (though there’s other terms in setting, often “Realm Psychoactive Energy” or “RPE” in a research context, because nobody likes using the word “Magic” in a […]
Three Pantheons revamp timeline (2001-2011)
The one sentence summary is “Modern fantasy with cold war tensions, magic, and gods.” Here’s a modified high level timeline focusing on the world itself and less on Nathan. Will work on this further, but this is where we are now.
Explanation of Realm Borders and brief overview of Realmfall timeline

What happened to the humans living there?” The realms are more a metaphysical changing of how the rules work inside […]
In gods we trust, all others pay cash.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
