i've been meaning to do this for a while now.
making one of these. i've seen a lot of people with a lot of good ideas about d&d make blogs of the sort. so i figured i'd give it a crack. not that my ideas on d&d are what i'd call "good" - moreso stitched together abominations of my interests and good takes i've seen other people have. but as i understand it that's most ideas, so i finally beat back my insecurities enough to get around to making this damn thing.
anyways, you don't really need to know much about me. instead, let's talk about my game world: Loom.
(allow me to switch into proper syntax mode)
Loom is a planet in a solar system of around five. It has three moons (one eventually gets blown up), and is about 1.5 times the size of earth, with a similar land-water distribution ratio (maybe slightly more land). Its current era is known on the predominant calendar as "After Mortal Emergence;" basically, the various pantheons stopped fighting for long enough for mortal beings to start running things out of their own volition. It's a pretty standard D&D setting - there's weird shit, but it's buried enough that you can plop any old adventure onto it and find a suitable way to make it work.
The "Loom Triumvate," as we call it, is the network of three DMs (myself included) who pioneered this game world. We've all ran different games in it and developed it collaboratively (but while making sure we each get out worldbuilding playgrounds).
(and back to gremlin syntax)
i'd talk more, but honestly the best way to explain this stuff is for me to just write about it in a non-synopsis sense. a bigger picture will form eventually from the fragments i throw out there. and honestly, if it doesn't, that's more fun anyways.
i have a humble collection of google docs written about lil old loom, so i'll probably throw some of those up over the next couple of days (once i agonize over making them ~*~ presentable ~*~ , whatever that means).
see y'all around. or if you prefer to be aloof, unsettling spectators, i will shiver in your presence and hope my meager writings please you.
