At this point I'm terms of politics and voting, here's my take: I'm going to vote for the least worst candidate. I'm going to do that at the primary level and the general election, even if I'm voting for different people and the candidate I vote for in the general election is one I voted against.

Reached the point in world building mental churn where I want to collapse things in on themselves and redevelop several ideas into one region while revising portions of it.

I did it. Slowly moving over to strim.fun/MiesterHypes... because I simply do not trust twitch anymore. It’s a smaller platform and not as mature as twitch but ultimately I choose safety. At the moment I’m on both platforms- we shall see how it goes.

My first memory of Battletech was my cousin calling me to come down the street and referee a game he was playing. He sent me home when I didn't rule in his favor. Ended up buying that box set, and the 3025 TRO, and some lead minis with steel wire antennae you had to cut. That got me started.

So here's my thing with long-lived species in fantasy and why I object to the trope that they take forever to do things: TLDR version: daylight, crops, and decay don't care what your lifespan is Long version: way back when D&D 3rd was new and Paizo wrote Dragon magazine, there was an elf issue. 1/

It probably says something that the most use I've gotten out of project management courses has been planning out a development cycle for my miniatures painting area including consideration for 1, 3, and 5 year expansion/modification. And I'll note this is a hobby I cycle in and out of doing.

Actually this whole WoW in D&D thing reminds me of a bit of advice for DMs. It's a corollary for the understanding that your players may go off course, and how to get them back on course: Be prepared for them to stay on course. I will explain.

So I've switched to using witchsky.app as my front end for the bsky AT protocol. Basically, it's an open source alternative third party web app fork of bsky that gives you all the bsky content with the same formatting but...better. It also bypasses the age assurance/verification bullshit.

Alright let's take stock of the current worldbuilding effort. It's a backburner item so it's going slow but low and slow makes for good cooking. Most of the time. High magic setting (sort of), in that there's lots of magic around, but it's largely ritual magic or alchemy. Spellcasting is rare.

I don't drink alcohol (don't care for the taste or the experience) so I'm not familiar with the varieties. But I've found that every time I think of something for world building and ask, "Oh, can you make alcohol with that?" The answer has always been yes, someone, somewhere, has at least tried.

I've been reading through Katharine Briggs' Dictionary of Fairies and while I'm not halfway through yet I've noticed that there are a great many names for the same idea. Some are proper nouns, others are regional. But you have a consistent split between goblins and brownies.

Starting to sketch out the idea of a culture based on a combination of Chinese historical government and Acadian history in New France & Louisiana. Loosely based. Very different world. But pulling notes from both.

Finished these two a bit ago; wanted to wait until I had the motivation to fill the alt text. #miniatures by Second Attack minis.
A painted miniature of a dwarf in a very bright green and yellow striped doublet. The dwarf's right hand is resting on the stock of a gun with a large axe blade, and is extremely broad shouldered. Vibrant red hair and beard complete the picture. Model by Second Attack miniaturesA painted miniature of a dwarf in a very bright green and yellow doublet. The dwarf's rests a two handed sword on their right shoulder, over top of a blue green hooded cloak. The dwarf's left arm is covered by armor plates. Completing the picture is a braided blonde beard.

So I've got a handful of ancestries to develop that I want in the world: - Gnavari (rat/possum folk; no relation to the Rat King) - Yaraz (gargoyle bat people) - Goblins (of course there's goblins) - Ansari (illusion-spinning giant spiders) - Satyrs (I do like my goat folk)

The elves are ghosts. The trolls sing in the shadows. The carrach glow with heat. The bran asar are lonely stones. The giants ascend to the stars. The skokul grow in the deep places. The mara contend with the beast within. The artisans ask for equality. What Comes Next

If my giants are related to the moons, which themselves are demigods, then perhaps I should incorporate that into their nature more. I like the idea of giants that slowly fade from the world as they grow, becoming star-stuff until they become true celestials as constellations.

Experimenting with weathering pigments and just trying to get more bright colors in my painting. Minis by Second Attack. #miniatures
Kiara Fiordan, Bulwark of Lurian - A miniature in plate and gambeson armor with a horned helmet covering most of their face. Their right arm is stretched out to the side holding a sword with a horned guard, and their left is held close to their body grasping a shield. The model is painted in purple and white. Lorian Bulwark of the Dawn's Break - A golem-like construct covered in full plate armor with a heavy gorget, holding a metal maul in two hands. The armor is silver and brass, with purple cloth and white leather. Krixis the Gilded, War-Chief - A human sized portly draconic figure points to the right while shouting orders and swinging a sword in its left hand. The figure wears an upper body covering of chain and a steel plate gorget over its rust colored scales. Numerous bits of gold jewelry contrast with the teal skirt made of leather strips. Zirrak Slowblade - a diminutive draconic figure in full plate armor holds a two-handed sword in a low position like a baseball bat. The armor hides most of the face except for an extended snout and horns, while a tail and bare clawed feet stick out below a teal leather skirt and plate leg armor.

Had the idea of prophecy as a sort of curse. No not like that. Like the prophecy itself is the curse. A god of Fate binding someone's future, removing free will, removing chance and choice. More of a geas, though potentially without the target being known.
