Today begins my thirty days of writing project. I keep writing game notes and vignettes, so I decided to polish them a bit and share. I am sure that the end result is still 5e because of its roots, but there are a number of rules changes big enough that it feels different to me. My kids don't know that much different. My brother-in-law runs a game that is more like Dungeon World. (That's a compliment.)

Moreover, Thanksgiving this year will be at home and on Zoom, so I have time to run the family campaign. To prepare for it, though, I need to collect the information into a different format than the Joplin notebooks I have. So may I present the list in progress. (I will update this post with links as the posts are written.)

The Topics Thus Far

The topics are: (in no particular order)

  • Naming things
  • Ancestries and Cultures
  • The Woodsmith
  • Bahidi (ancestry)
  • Canavarii (Paladins)
  • Emissaries (ancestry)
  • Stone of the Giants (artifact)
  • Sword of the Titans (artifact)
  • Staff of the eXo (artifiact)
  • Rogues are Different
  • The Eleven and One (Oxl, Benoxaheen, Axoheem, & Exoheen)
  • Worship of the Saints
  • Usage dice
  • Salt Magic (Wizard Tradition)
  • Gematria (Wizard Tradition)
  • Dragon Magic (Wizard Tradition)
  • Pella's Column Cultures (Old Ways & Assimilated)
  • Porta Nile
  • Portan orthography and script
  • Rune Magic (Sorcerer)
  • Portan Cultures (Hlong Khagee & Portan in a Suit)
  • Trading Companies
  • Firearms
  • Sidekicks
  • Ars Magica Style adventuring
  • Positive Conditions
  • Vampires (Titans)
  • Emouwon (ancestry)
  • Nations in the region

This will likely have a couple of clarifications and additions, but I am going to fight hard to prevent deletions. All of this things (and more) are a part of the campaign notebook for my kids' games, so I need to get them more finished than they are now.
