The past week has seen my wife and I visiting Pembrokeshire, viewing awesome landscapes and visiting inspiring ruins and such.
I’ve also been absorbing Arduin II (aka “Compleat Arduin”) and mulling over many additions and changes to the UbiquitousRPG fantasy rules.
All in all, it’s been a busy week.
Deepening Tikhon
One of the main features of the week has been my focus upon “deepening” the world of Tikhon, the campaign world we’re currently engaged in exploring.
If there is one thing that reading David Hargrave’s work will do, it’s getting you to think a little more about the nature of things in your own world. This is a pleasant effect… and it has got me to make small changes, such as making the core currency a bit different.
As I was writing new sections for the Tikhon rulebook, which is the next evolution of the game system blended with world details from our campaign, I found myself itching to speak a little more about Goblins, Orcs and Hobbytts.
It’s a curious thing, but the more we play and the more I muse upon writing up the campaign world’s description, the more I feel that the whole thing comes to life with increasing vibrancy. I guess that, until now, I’ve just not had the time nor the desire to really record what was floating around in my head.
That’s about all for now… but I’m sure I’ll get around to updating you some more later in the week.
Game on!
