This page and site are under development. It is a work in progress and this is your view behind the veil. The sections below roughly coorespond to the Main Hall but now have section icons indicating their status. If you're coming directly back here, you may want to pop out to the more proper Main Hall.
Advanced Rituals. As so many people do, I independently came up with something similar to something else. In this case it's "Advanced Rituals" and "Circle Casting". I need to read up on exactly what that is, but my approach is more about plot development and is always a lengthy undertaking of a group of people. What is kinda special is that I also came up with an immense library of Advanced Rituals. I am developing new ones and it's pretty fun.
The Spell Description Language. I've been kicking around "SDL" since I was a kid. It is at version 2.1 of the reference manual. It's an extension language and pretty flat and easy to script. This is a modern version. What I'm attempting to do is make it a way to reference and level-set all spells. But also to do things with a little more contingencies. I'm thinking about what I want in an SDK for it. So far I have a small library and a playground where you can write your own spells. I also generate a spell card from the SDL code.
I visited Versailles and came across a strange board game. I snapped a picture. I'm doing some playing with turning it into something. It's called the Game of Hope.
Treasure Coffers. I visited a Musee de Cluny and saw a whole bunch of medieval coffers. That inspired me to make something I've wanted to make for a while. I put together a coffer treasure system. It makes getting treasure far more interesting for the player and for the GM. You don't just get a chest. You don't just get a +1 short sword. You now get something that is described, intriguing, and perhaps beautiful. I also made it so you can share, download, save, or even add to your Discord. There are a bunch of options to control what you may find and what it may look like. I'm pretty happy with this.
I'm working on Character in earnest now. I want to make it something special. It's going to bring together a lot of different features of the site. Start with the City Guide and work down to Taverns or various types of Shops in that city. I think you'll like it. It's all about characters -- not rolling stats.
I've put a lot of time into getting city maps to have enough features and stay procedural. They're pretty sweet at this point. It took a lot of errors to get rivers, coasts, walls, and moats working correctly. More on this in a bit.
Also under dev, I'm making a portrait system for the characters I create procedurally. It's challenging. It has taken many many weekends. But I'm feeling pretty good about it. It will still take months of tweaking and then months of running. But it should mesh well with the character system.
I built an English to Quenya or Sindarin translation service. I'm putting some finishing touches on it. But it's intended to have enough citations to be on the scholarly side of the community.
We now have a UI for the map system, so we now have a "map maker".
