They also suck with villages. We are completely, utterly riding out on our stockpiles on the idea that the admin can just flip a switch to up production at any time, and I'm not necessarily looking forward to how necessary villages wi…

Or rather from fire to vortex? Like vortex was the destination, but astral was still slightly penetrated without anyone realising it - which is also why the city nexus reflections on astral are just these puny little things, and you c…

I think it's fair to say there is a lot of lost knowledge out there - we like to think of civilization as only ever advancing (even in the real world), but whenever powerful libraries and cities are burnt down and history is rewritten…

This confuses me, since I've seen a number of herbs getting more expensive - to the point where I'm inspired to go and harvest more for myself, but not necessarily to try to accumulate enough to resell.
An awful lot of my niche flavour profiles don't always come from direct experience, but from research. And I have a favourite book to help me along - The Flavor Bible, by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg. I really have to recommend it to anyone who …

I think there's a little of this everywhere, but it felt truer still in Gaudiguch. Serenwilde's Listeners/Sowers feel like they have more rooting lore and relative RP purpose, and I've been tempted to pick between the two on occasion.
I used to do that kind of stuff, but then when I made Jolanthe I decided just to go dumb party girl with built in mardi gras colouring. That... kind of got derailed. Maybe a little bit. But I've still mostly evaded responsibility and authority, haha!
The shadowy outline of a twisted forest casts a dark gloom here. Amid metal rods leaning together here, the stones whistle with the passage of choking air. Vague darkness seethes in the distance and in the corner of …
