While working on Icons in the Sandbox, though, I realized a limitation in the polyhedral process that doesn’t much come up when creating pantheons. Even if there are multiple pantheons in a campaign setting, even if those pantheons interact, you can pretty reasonably create each on its own polyhedron and …
Another A-Z Blog Challenge… and another successful completion. Not all my A-Z Blog Challenge attempts are successfully completed, but this one was, and it was my easiest yet. There were a few things that made this one easier than the previous attempts. First, this is a topic that interests me …
Opinions differ on whether I’m actually an old man or not, but I’ll still use this title for a draft of the Air domain. Air … I think I blundered a little with this post. I haven’t drafted a domain in a post for a couple of weeks and didn’t …
(Original working title was “Yeah, That’s Going to be Hard”… but describing the problem, articulating it, basically gave me a solution. Rubber duck debugging wins again!) So, the other day I had an idea for adapting Polyhedral Pantheons to a planar array. It seems simple enough… The last two points …
Day 24, ‘X Day’, is always a challenge because there are so few words in English starting with ‘X’. As usual, I’m hedging a little by using a word starting with ‘EX’. The deity template and the domain template both have entries related to special locations associated with a deity …
We’re almost at the end of the 2024 A-Z Blog Challenge, and it seems that for the first time I’ve managed to stay entirely on topic. I don’t think that’s happened before… it feels weird. Anyway, with all I’ve written so far this month, what else is there to do? …
When I published Polyhedral Pantheons in 2015 (… coming up on ten years ago, ow), it was based all on polyhedrons. First was the icosahedron (d20), prompted by the Rose of the Prophet series by Weis and Hickman, but extending the process to more polyhedra, and then making other adjustments …
Long ago, GreyKnight wrote The Post To End It, a bit of fun about what goes into my writing a blog post here. He almost absolutely nails it. ‘Paragraphs appearing’ being 5d20 is a bit of an exaggeration, maybe, but the rest of it is spot on. The last table …
A (probably) short one today. I’ve done some tables used for the Artifacts field, I’m likely to do something about entity names, but another group comes to me. Places. I feel like I want a way to randomly generator geography. I didn’t foresee the need for ‘place names’, but I’m …
This is going to be more of a ‘strategic’ post, in that I’m going to describe how I expect to solve the problem, rather than actually show my solution. The simple reason for it: it’s going to be quite a bit of work, because there is little support for the …
