Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daztur" data-source="post: 6102958" data-attributes="member: 55680">Sanglorian, few quick notes:-I noted it way back when but the basic idea for Witch Clans comes from: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Annals-Western-Shore-Ursula/dp/0152051244" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Annals-Western-Shore-Ursula/dp/0152051244</a> I like a lot of Le Guin's older stuff a great deal but this and a lot of her newer stuff seems like "ha ha, you like my really interesting premise do you? Want exciting stuff to happen? Well screw you, this isn't escapist fantasy, this is SERIOUS! I'm going to write a bunch about relationships and feelings and goats and taking care of goats!" Still, very interesting premise.-Interesting ideas about the art and the short stories. There are a lot of bits that we have that could be expanded into one. The problem with an art-focused setting book is that it's much much easier to put together an art-heavy setting book when you can pay people to make the art that you want. It's pretty tough to do it when you've got to rely on public domain stuff. Still, I'm pretty proud of the stuff I've put together so maybe that's an option, especially when I have time to troll through some more public domain art.-For an updated compilation (like we talked about earlier) maybe easier to update stuff one chapter at a time, starting with the smallest ones. Trying to yank out, say, all information about the religions in this setting is a bit headache inducing probably, maybe better to take it one region at a time and build bit by bit saving Shuttered for last sort of like when I converted the old no-region document into the current one.Edit: one more thought, since melancholy runs through the setting pretty strongly, people trying to tell stories to Elandra would work well as a framing device for a Shuttered (very) short story anthology. Good challenge for PCs as well, they get to be an heir of a Duchy if they can make the poor girl cry...</blockquote>
