April Poll & Schedule Switcheroo

This month, we finally wrapped up the High Seas Update, which ended up at a sizeable 82 pages. However, thanks to that book taking so long, we don't have everything together for the F...

High Seas Update In Progress

Here it is, a month late and a chapter short: the High Seas Update!

A lot of individual things hampered our productivity this month, but we've still managed to finish the core of the book, including...

Opinion Poll: Book Length

The High Seas Update is finally out! Well, kinda. Even though this book is currently the same length as the Weird West Update (which, at the time, I thought was a PDF of ungodly length), it's still in...

Been a while since we've done one of these, huh?

Men and Monsters

Too often, the races which populate fantasy worlds are pulled whole-cloth from a Tolkienesque template, leaving little room for interpretation. Elves are intelligent and long-lived, but otherwise l...
