Last of the Valkyrie: A Lament for the Fallen In the heart of Valkheim, a haunting melody occasionally graces the air, starting as a single crystalline note that pierces the silence. This solitary voice, pure and poignant, grows into a chord, then blossoms into a phrase, and…

Automata in Sidonia Lore excerpt: “Automata refers to mechanical devices powered by a psi crystal, a product of both science and sorcery. Although a sentient psi crystal can animate a body it resides in, its ability to do so is heavily restricted by that body’s natural…

Welcome to Sidonia. Some souls are not born of flesh, but are forged in light and steel. Meet the Automata, a playable Lineage for the upcoming TTRPG.

Been a bit under the weather yesterday and today. Just taking it easy and engaging in my favorite pastime. Drawing maps and listening to music. However, I had to drop in for Dragon’s Day Wednesday. Enjoy, and I’ll be back tomorrow to catch up and post a couple of lore drops and…

Icy Gaze or Icy Stave?

So I dumped the entire 60+ google docs I had for the unpublished Sidonia ttrpg into notebook lm and had it generate a podcast based on it. I was pretty surprised and delighted to listen to it. I worked on some of those ideas for over a decade, refining them from one world to…

Working on a resurrection spell for a ttrpg I wrote a couple years ago but never published. So in the spirit of necromantic rituals here is today’s offering.

Just for fun.

My Caturday offerings.

She wore midnight like armor and starlight like a crown, standing where the old stories fractured. Heroes, they said, were supposed to shine. But light casts the deepest shadows, and every saint was once someone’s demon. The battlefield remembers what the ballads forget,…

FRIDAY!!! The final boss of your weekday dungeon crawl. FIGHT!!!

Did you remember to wear your brown pants today? It is Dragon’s Day Wednesday after all.

Attunement is a gamble. Master ice/water and fire becomes your nightmare. Choose fire/earth for magma, but air and water will tear you apart. The deeper your attunement, the wider the gap. Elementalists don’t seek balance - they seek dominance. New Asgard.

The Bone Tribe grows. Each generation stronger, larger, more territorial than the last. What started as uneasy neighbors has become an existential threat. Their young males, cast out to claim new territory, push ever closer to human settlements. New Asgard’s most violent…

The Boar doesn’t just gore - it infects. Berserkers of the Boar Branch master the art of lasting damage. Blood Totem warriors spread poison like plague. Pain Totem ensures wounds remember. Anger Totem makes rage itself contagious. This is warfare through suffering.

“We are the products of what we see.” A fun challenge. @KinsJilly @Dokko57932483 might be interested in something different.

Playing with VEO 3 in order to see how well it can handle some of my favorite images. I have been waiting for an video generator that can handle very detailed fantasy art well for a long time now….

The Rune Knight: Where defense becomes an art form. Whether channeling protective auras, championing sacred causes, or standing as an immovable shield - this is the branch for those who believe the best offense is an impenetrable defense. Three paths, one purpose: Guardian.

The eternal debate: Tank the hit or never let it land? Enhancers choose door number two. Runic tattoos amplify reflexes, strength, and speed - turning the body itself into the ultimate weapon. Light armor, heavy consequences. Welcome to the Enhancer’s way.

Rune Warden (Rune Master: Warlord) When runes dance along your blade and the very air bends to your will, you know you’ve walked the path of the Rune Master. This is what happens when warriors refuse to choose between sword and spell.
