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 …
Ten posts complete… I think this is the shorted A-Z Blog Challenge failure I’ve had. I started to write ‘earliest’, but it took almost two weeks for me to admit it to myself. We’ve had some shakeups at work this month. These don’t actually directly add to my workload (in …
For many years I’ve wanted a system to formalize developing relationships with organizations or other entities. I don’t want to apply it to everything — the number of connections can become immense — but where a relationship becomes significant enough to track, I want a way to formalize it. Most …
No matter how much detail a game entity such as a character, place, or even a deity has… it will only get interesting when it connects to other things. When it comes to deities, a deity standing alone is unlikely to be of any real interest. The connections between deities, …
Many years ago, GreyKnight created the “Keith Davies Blog Post Generator“, mostly to poke good-natured fun at me, but I admit I laughed… and I sometimes feel the urge to validate that post. The first table is ‘Subject Matter’, and two of the entries are ‘Revisit an old post and …
The first two factions I created in this pantheon had no interactions at all, as far as domain assignments are concerned. I added four more factions and started to see some interactions, including some potentially unreliable or even compromised faction members. One thing I didn’t check, though, was the distribution …
