So, the plan for 2019 is to have weekly podcast episodes and blog posts. The blog posts will be collected into monthly pdfs, and then collected into an annual.
The big plans for the year?
- I’m going to collect the demons into a single document
- I’m going to collect the Lord Dunsany stories into a single document.
- There’s a possibility to create a new, large project here. Dunsany’s Exhausted World seems to be able to be reached from Faerie, or Dream (which is in the Magic Realm). That would give us a genre spanning thing that puts you in the Victorian British Isles. That would need a lot of work, possibly more than one author could manage, and without the authority that comes from Atlas, there’s no way to corral a group of authors to work together on larger pieces. I think this needs some initial surveying before I work on it in any really public way, or reach out for help.
- I might have a fresh go at the Cornwall document. It’s there, and the additions are obvious (Stellasper / Lyonesse, More monsters. More folkolore. Maps.)
- The Venice Project I’ve been considering needs serious work, but it is a microfiction piece, so the limit is time and opportunity cost.
As always, suggested topics are welcome. In the old days, I was working in teams, and there were guys who were Really Good With Mechanics working with me. That’s why when people write to me and say “I’d love a post about how to do X thing mechanically/” I often can’t help. I can do folklore. I can do building with the tools we have. I can’t playtest anything, so I can’t build new minigames (complex systems) into the game.
