Things I’ve worked on, or that I’m working on, intended for publication.
Here are the air deities of the Elemental Tetratheon. Not actually part of the A-Z Challenge, or I would’ve done it three weeks ago for ‘A’, but I have a use for it fairly soon. Much of this pantheon was shaped, even created, by a tragic misjudgement on Povjetara’s part. It …
In almost all editions of D&D many creatures have abilities defined in terms of spells, such as the succubus’ suggestion. These are like spells (subject to spell resistance, etc.) but not exactly (each may be limited to a certain number of uses per day, and they don’t share all the casting …
The kouzelnik are the third of the tribes involved in the revised goblin pantheon. A decent fit for ‘K Day’ of the A-Z Blog Challenge, and I’m happy to finally have this pantheon fully drafted. I’m taking a break from Polyhedral Pantheons work tomorrow. I spent a big chunk of this last …
I started writing about the jhesiri deities some time ago, but never finished. I found I had gotten into too much of a rut, and while a little bit of atrocity was fitting, it was too much. I wasn’t happy with what I’d written and basically abandoned it. A few …
Time to start talking about the characteristics of various polyhedra when applying the polyhedral pantheons methods. Since the entire thing was prompted by the use in the Rose of the Prophet trilogy of an icosahedron to describe and define the deities, and since it is “I Day” in the April A-Z Blog Challenge, …
It’s ‘H Day’ in the A-Z Challenge, and time to start fleshing out the new goblin pantheon. I will start with the Hilljack deities, who are followed by a secretive and really not that bad a tribe… for goblins, at least. Hilljack Deities Hilljacks (‘vorubec’ their own tongue) are the least …
I started work on a goblin pantheon a while ago, but stalled out when I realized I wasn’t satisfied with the direction it was going. I decided to take another run at it. Destruction is still a major focus, and I’m keeping some of the relationships in order to support the …
Yesterday I described the earth deities of the Tetratheon, today I describe the fire deities. I did have a couple surprises while working on this. The biggest one was while I was working on Sjajan. Originally my focus was in a different direction, but while trying to figure out what her servants …
The Elemental Tetratheon is one of the bigger pantheons included in the upcoming Polyhedral Pantheons book. The pantheon is designed around the four elements, with each of the greater gods focused on a single element and having three aspects related to that element. There are also three other gods that are lesser …
