I’ve been kind of busy lately, so many projects in the works. Here’s a sample from one that’s been going on for about a year now, the Echelon Reference Series. I’ve been working on setting up indexing options, to see what additional information I might need to help make this …
I’m still working my way around the edges of this, but I think it’s starting to come together. A covenant is an agreement between two entities. The structure is fairly standardized, and while there may be some common exchanges, notionally each is a unique construct. Each Covenant consists of at …
I am exploring an idea to do with Small Gods. I’m considering having them form covenants, agreements of exchange, rather than simply grant spells as normal gods do for clerics. On the one hand, this opens the door to having non-clerics have access to powers from small gods (which is …

Now that the Microscope session is complete, time to move into the Lexicon phase. This should be much simpler, really. The Seekers of Lore Obsidian Portal site there is a wiki. The front page of the wiki has a link to instructions on using the wiki, how to create pages, …
Yesterday we ran the Microscope session for the Seekers of Lore campaign. All in all I’m very pleased with how things turned out, and I think we’ve got some very good material to use for the Lexicon session to follow. A few of us would have liked to have continued, …
