Product Update Update

Steve Johnson4 months ago4 months ago019 mins

[Quick Site Note: A recent PHP update seems to have broken some of the random generator scripts (most tragically, the Qerth Name Generator). I am aware of this and will fix them as soon as time allows.–Steve] Back in olden times (the late 1990s), we didn’t have all the fancy PDFs and ebooks and Print…

Spooktober 2022: 31 Things You May Encounter in the City of Ten Thousand Daggers

Steve Johnson11 months ago7 months ago01 mins

World Anvil’s Spooktober is an event where you get a nifty badge for your profile if you write short entries about at least 13 prompts from a list of 31 options. I decided to tackle all 31 prompts to create a list/random table of 31 Things You May Encounter in the City of Ten Thousand…

Worldbuilding Summer Camp at World Anvil

Steve Johnson3 years ago6 months ago04 mins

World Anvil’s World Building Summer Camp event ends next week. Since I didn’t start it until a couple weeks into July, I knew I wouldn’t have time to write entries for all the prompts, but I thought maybe I would be able to do 10 (which would get me a badge for my WA profile)….

Tolva’s Veil

Steve Johnson3 years ago6 months ago02 mins

So I included some throwaway (and mostly completely made-up-on-the-spot) references to the City of 10,000 Daggers (mostly its history) in the Dumb Tables at the end of Tales from the Lusty Minotaur, some of which I do plan to write up details about at some point.  Conveniently enough, World Anvil is doing writing prompts every…

So Close… (Khezvaros Map)

Steve Johnson4 years ago6 months ago03 mins

I’m getting very close to finishing the City of 10,000 Daggers map. Since the last post, I’ve added some green and trees, changed the contour lines into terrain effects with some creative beveling, cleaned up the brush-painted buildings, and added effects to the named buildings. I’m tempted to add effects to the noble villas in…

Khezvaros Updates

Steve Johnson4 years ago6 months ago03 mins

Here’s the new map, now with buildings, docks, a moat around Castle Vargo, and a few other additions and modifications. The next step will be to clean up the brushed-in buildings a bit and probably rework or modify a few sections here and there. Then I’ll start putting in some green space and other visual…
