Update: moved into a new place on Monday and no home internet til Saturday. I've been using the no-internet/EN World time to get some work done on the compilation. All hexes are in and am nearly half done with Shuttered sub-hexes.

The biggest humanoid race we haven't touched on yet is lizardmen so I want to hit those guys next. I'm thinking over them and I'll have a lizardman post up later but still thinking them over. Basically I want to make them plenty alien but still a PC race that's easy to roleplay. The basic idea...

Did a quick count (so might be off by a few in either direction) but it seems we have 257 hexes now (not including many many hex sub-entries). That means we're just a bit shy of having 15% of the hexes filled in. This might take a while... Updated map here...

Hex 43.22 The Breeding Grounds of the Daggerfeet Idea stolen from the (exceptionally disturbing) Green Australia Alternate History Timeline. The gnolls of the Burning Lands steer well clear of this region during the fall daggerfoot breeding season which disrupts much of the river trade along...

I've just stumbled across this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Trost_Richards guy and various people associated with him. Very nice out of copyright landscapes for illustrations of stuff in which the hexes would be impossible to find free illustrations of. Also he painted a bunch of...

In my original conception of this entry Lady Alevari was an evil gold digger. I like this version a lot better... Lady Alevari’s Lament Additional information about hex 29.14 Connects to various places in 29.14 and 16.18 Lord Alevari is not as he once was. His grizzled hair has turn midnight...

The Necromantic Office Additional Information about Hex 29.14 Most sorcerers in these lands learn their art by apprenticing themselves to an established wizard. There are stories from far lands of great wizarding academies but the City of Shuttered Windows has none, unless you count the...

In each cycle there are fourteen years: the Year of the Messenger, the Year of the Maiden, the Year of the Youth, the Year of the Bard, the Year of the Lover, the Year of the Hero, the Red Year, the Year of the Hunter, the Year of the Mother, the Year of the Father, the Year of the Pilgrim, the...

OOC: this stuff is based on a setting building project that I did with my friend who later took the religion (but not the rest) and built his own setting out of that. I'm taking that back with some tweaks for this setting since the main deity in that religion reminded me strongly of the Jahuri...

New compilation here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6z-iUIH4P8acVNfcVJWM2Q0dFE Still working on updating the compilation but I thought you'd enjoy having a work in progress one now until I get done with the complete one to help you look up cross-references and connections. It has everything...

Hmmmmm, thinking it over another reason for keeping the hexes small is that unless the hexes are quite small the logistics of humans travelling into the Kingswood becomes almost impossible… Now that’s a challenge. I was about to write a post about how the Grey Mountains function as a rain...

The "Southern Desert" is a placeholder of a name, if you can come up with a more creative one I'll edit it in. I've been thinking about the land area of the map and it does seem a bit small. With six mile hexes the whole area is the UK minus Scotland. If the hexes were eight miles it get...

For wax golems note Hex 17.11 (Castle Dinivar) This one’s inspired partly by an old blog post from D&D With Porn Stars and partly from a newer one from chutup’s blog: http://awizardskiss.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/five-ghouls.html...

Yup, will try to fit that in somewhere. Mostly I've been going through the archives of this: http://preraphaelitepaintings.blogspot.com blog which are rather insanely massive. Before I was planning to have the interior art all black and while to make it easier to print cheaply, but there's just...

Got some ideas for ghouls in the southern deserts by the new city down there, but for today I've gotten side tracked adding in art to the file. Too bad this is under copyright :( http://thebeautifulnecessity.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/bagshaw-pandora.html

Update: old compilation was about 90K words, I'm up to 106K now since I've been trucking through the backlog pretty fast. Still a couple pages left of random stuff and all of the Shuttered City stuff but I've cut a big chunk through the backlog. I have some ideas for hexes but I think I owe it...

Words are wind. Here's a map: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/471/nov12map.png Am trucking my way through compiling everything, got a few thousand words done but a lot more to do.

Back from the dead here as well. What happened was that my face to face campaign died (hard one great game, missed a whole month then had one so-so game, hard to keep the momentum going when you have two games in three months I guess) and that killed my motivation to continue with this project...

Live! Live! I've been distracted recently due to spending too much time reading: Alternate History Discussion Board (needs membership to join) about a world in which Antarctica never freezes over and it is inhabited by a set of civilizations that develop in very disturbing ways (with lots of...

I'll eventually turn the dungeon I'm running this weekend into a hex but some highlights of it (many gleaned from various blogs): -The dwarves are harvesting stalactites which they then feed to an amber jelly that is a dwarven delicacy. -In the dragon laid there is some treasure that the dwarves...
