Slacker post

Hey folks. Just looked at my last post date and felt very embarrassed, my bad.
Anyway, as always things evolve and generate in the background ,even if I haven't taken the time to properly document them here. The site now has a public link to the wiki, which is long overdue. the SR Vocations and Oddities and Eccentricities documents have had a bit of a refresh so they only contain "complete" entries, rather than being a mix of finalised and WIP content. The Deities wiki entry has been both reorganised and had another editing pass to integrate it with newer entries, as some of them are getting surprisingly old at this point.

Events in my Spelljammer campaign have had me make some additions to/make clarifications to some of the SR wiki stuff, like the lunar mothfolk finally getting named (alqami, pronounced like alchemy and inspired by the Arabic word for moonlight. I've also had to reference some of the rules for godhood as per the rules of the Concord of Immortals. A background antagonist in Spelljammer is a group called the Dominion of the Last Star, a tech-based anti-magic faction whose actions are in service to Those Beyond, though I doubt these facts will come up much in the campaign but they bring me some joy.
Additionally, the deities and lesser powers that exist outside the Concord of the Immortals and the Pantheon of Sacrifice have been reclassified into Outer Beings and expanded. Now features not just Dottrafn, The Restless Foundation and Exen but some not explicitly godlike beings but demigods or higher like Inosha a god formed of pride and his now extinct kingdom's devotion, Father Crow who exiled himself rather than betray the gods to Those Beyond, and Eminence the travelling merchant and trickster fae.

Other than that I've had a few pieces of fiction I've written for the Shapers and Forgers to stand beside the Day of Many Voices fiction, as well as a piece about the prehistory of the setting in the War of Fading Lights, a conflict that saw extra-dimensional invaders known as Those Beyond to extinguish entire realms as they clashed with the celestial and infernal forces. This has meant some rewriting and extension of some stuff like the Huntlands article to be more cohesive and sensible.

On a more personal note, there is a difficult to reconcile desire currently to get increasingly self-referential in some stuff. I've had more than a few moments I've considered "canonising" Bosko to SR since her death in the Mortaria campaign. I even recently had a new, posthumous piece of art done which I've added to her entry on the website replacing the original commission. I did have a discussion with a fellow DM, James, about either running a variant of her in one of his campaigns or her estranged sister Yelena, at his suggestion no less. I have endeavoured, where possible, to try and keep SR as setting/system agnostic as possible, so even references or grafted on elements of other IPs or games have been gradually reworked into more original ideas.

Provided I don't forget, next post should be one of the fiction pieces. Unsure how the art situation will go this year but we'll see.
