Ooof. Just broke 5K words with my dwarf fortress game prep. It includes a zoomed in hexcrawl (information on a slew of one mile hexes inside of one six mile hex), a random profession table, critical wounds table, dwarf henchman morale fail table, overly complicated random encounter table etc...

Four more days until my dwarf fortress campaign kicks off so I'm focusing on the World's Edge where it will take place. The Demon of Many Colors based on the song Rainbow Demon by Uriah Heep All along the World's Edge, from misty morning and on through night and day, rides a demon on his...

On September 28th, I'll be kicking off the dwarf fortress campaign at the World's Edge using Labyrinth Lord rules. Should be fun. If the campaign has legs, that corner of the world should get more developed. These two draw inspiration from my students and from the plant article in the 2011...

Yay, happy to see you still here. I just finished crawling through a month from hell as I tied up loose ends at my old job and dug myself out from under a mountain of paperwork. Am self-employed at the moment and the work load is fairly light until business picks up (please please let business...

Good to see a bit more cultural variety in our non-dwarven demi-humans do like. Also note that our orcs have just a touch in Inca in them (as well as bit of Korea and other stuff as well). Am getting hammered at work at the moment since I quit my job last week (one month notice) so they seem to...

The Stylites of the Keening Sea Hex 30.16 Inspired by The Blue World by Jack Vance When sailing out of the City of Shuttered Windows into the Keening Sea not far beyond the outermost of the farms of the sea can be seen a great arc of ancient and half-rotten giant sequoias (...

Hmmm, the black guano of seabirds, will have to think on them... Come on brain... I think the largest single halfling holding we have now is the Bolger Freehold: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?318447-Let%92s-Make-a-Hexcrawl-Setting/page11&p=5866577&viewfull=1#post5866577 The...

For the site of the fortress I'm thinking either: -Mining the Edge of the World (lots of exposed veins!). -Setting up a logging camp at the edge of the Kingswood. -Setting up a way station in the Sounding Snows hex which is a pass through the Grey Mountains and dealing with goblin bandits and...

Had a nice combination of sick baby (is fine now, thankfully) and job stuff this week so haven't had much time. Here's an idea that's been worming into my head. I'll be trying to set up a Dwarf Fortress-inspired game set in the Shrouded Lands so I'll be doing some fleshing out of the dwarves...

The Fist of Madai Hex 34.28 Inspired by Pacific Rim When the tarrasque broke free from Bergolast and took his vengeance on those who had imprisoned him within their city, the survivors became desperate and sought to create a monster of their own to defeat the tarrasque. And so they...

167 pages in the wiki now. Way Down in the Hole Hex 22.02 Inspired by: the Killing Machine by Jack Vance (part of the science fiction Demon Princes quintet which is quite good, really makes space feel big in the way that most science fiction doesn’t) Clan Hagen has long dominated the...

I'll make sure there's some way to view the wiki offline (cobbling together big giant HTML pages or something) but the hyperlinks probably won't work. Up to 124 wiki pages now. Sooooo... much... content... Will just get everything up then get to work seeding everything with hyperlinks...

Or other idea: I could just copy and paste bunches of source code together into a few meta wiki pages and you could save them as HTML files that you could read offline. Checking that out in the wiki page you can do that so that it saves all of the images as well. I think that'd kill hyperlinking...

Great, I must've gotten mixed up about the license. For the offline stuff I think there are ways to download an entire wiki and have it sit offline in your comp. I'm not sure how exactly but there's a bunch of links about how to DL all of wikipedia and use it offline so DLing a single wiki...

What's been up on my end is that the word doc had gotten big enough to constantly freeze and crash very often. I tried some different word processing programs and while other ones tend to be better than word the document (especially all the art) just eats up too much RAM for my comp to be able...

Quick note about where I got the terms: it comes from an old discussion I had on a comment thread about the MMORPG game Eve in Tobold's MMORPG blog (http://tobolds.blogspot.com). He said he didn't like Eve because the fights weren't fun. His complaints were that the playing field was almost...

Sanglorian: yes, I think you're right on that one region at a time would work best. Sorry for all the excuses but I'm getting sucked into some Martin stuff ATM thanks to the TV show, (re)-reading through a bunch of his non-ASoIaF stuff (am in the middle of Armageddon Rag at the moment). I keep...

For the rest of the story the woman meets a (rare male) nine-tailed fox, breaks its magical marble, then helps lure 100 people to their foxy deaths so that the fox can make another marble (the how of this is pretty unclear) and then the fox gets so many livers that it becomes human and they...

Except from one of my students' stories (grammar mistakes and all..): Long time ago, when I was 6 years old, my grandma told me one story. "His eyes are yellow as sun ans his hair are white as moon. Do not say anything to him, and do not fall in love with him. People will call you a 'witch'."...

Haven't posted in too long but I'm still here. Was a bit burned out but I think my brain is ready to jump back in now. I just have to copy edit a long paper on organic light-emitting diodes (actually not as bad as it sounds...) and I'll jump back into this.
