sotreknomad.itch.io/companions-o... Since I've gotten a big boost in followers on here the past few days, I should probably shout out my main project. Companion's of Limitas, a d100 based game set in a Bronze age world of Lost Ruins and growing powers. The series is 2/4 done, with book 3 on the way!
youtu.be/sl9pTDK8PAk?... Just learned today is the 10th Anniversary of Heaven Sent. The best episode of Doctor Who. Objectively. I will fight you on this. All other media the past 10 years has been a waste of time. We peaked here!

In my partners current game we're playing in a vaguely early modern setting, but I'm playing an Arthurian Knight who's been frozen in ice for 100 years. So people are always like "damn you've got such old-time values", meanwhile everyone is acting like its the 16 Hundreds. It's funny.

Having finished the series I can wholeheartedly say it is one of the best Fantasy series Ive read. Mythic, evocative, but at the same time rooted in sincere human struggles. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Fantasy thats more about the heart than cool action scenes (not that those are bad!)
Over half way done the last book of Tanith Lee's Tales from the Flat Earth series. I will be sad to be done with this series. It is such a rich and mythic exploration of how we find meaning in life. I may post again when I've finished the series. I'll see.

Another day, another set of Locations. Today all of them are united by the same theme. Planets! They are all inspired by very early Sci-Fi, which are often more Fantasy than Sci-Fi. Specifically I too...

Thought I had in Uni today:
The Gothic tradition of Ireland & England is just the Undead form of the Big House Novel. The lurching corpse of the old gentry concerns. The sub-textual horrors of class, colonialism, & sexual repression laid bear by the rot of the grave. Thoughts?

Was thinking about an issue I had with 5E D&D, which is the fast accumulation of abilities. So I had the idea of Limiting it to 1 ability per level. Then I thought "what if to balance Martials & Magic Users Spells counted for this too?", then I realized I was just doing 4E again. Not the first time.
