Nine years ago tonight (I’m trying to maintain a couple days’ buffer at least, but I’m writing this the night before it’s supposed to go up) I wrote Hilljack Deities of the Goblin Pantheon, as part of my work on Polyhedral Pantheons. I figure they’ll be a good testbed for …
In fact, it looks like Good, Evil, Chaos, and Law domains are all hard to define. Looks like I’ll need to mulligan this one. I tried drafting aspects for the alignment domains, and have concluded they will probably be the most difficult because they are so abstract. For most domains, …
Picked the title when I thought each domain would be a page or two, turns out I got two domains on a single page. Ah well, keeping the title as it is. Over the last couple of days I’ve posted a deity template and a domain template. Before I go …
Okay, yes, it’s a ‘domain aspect template’, but I used ‘D’ yesterday and today is for ‘E’, so ‘elements’ it is. Three years ago I drafted a domain template the first time, but what’s changed now that I’ve revisited my deity template? Let’s see… starting from the top, and understanding …
Time to look at an easy one: the template for describing a deity. This was actually one of my first topics last time I worked on Divine Trappings. I wonder what’s changed. Last time, I started with my Entity Template, and that’s a pretty good thing to start with. This …
Yesterday, I put up a list of all the posts from the 2021 A-Z Blog Challenge, for those interested in what came before. For those who want something a little simpler and quicker, here’s a summary. What I Think First, where I’m coming from, to explain why I’m doing this. …
Revisiting a topic I’ve written about previously gives me an opportunity to reread older posts. In this case, I’ve written a fair bit of material that’s worth revisiting. The posts from the 2021 A-Z blog challenge show a lot of my thinking, a fair bit of how I thought things …
In the 2021 A-Z Blog Challenge I took a run at Divine Trappings. Something of a follow up to Polyhedral Pantheons, Divine Trappings are descriptive elements that might be applied to a deity (and their associated religions) based on the domains assigned to that deity. I didn’t quite finish the …
Owen KC Stephens is currently undergoing radiotherapy for cancer that went undetected for a decade. In the USA, this is really expensive. We want to help him. If you’ve played an RPG in the last little while (as in ‘in the last twenty years or so’), odds are quite good …
… sounds like some kind of weird meal preparation product. I haven’t completely stalled on #lore24, but it’s close. I started looking at my random table resolver, and got sidetracked. For a command line tool I wrote more than 25 years ago — in the late 1900s — it does …
