Two Worlds this Week: meh you already know them

 

Still working on Sevven

 

The middle Bronze-Age-ish world setting of Sevven is getting worked on. I have released the reigns to let it go gonzo, like say Dark Sun, more so than historical folklore, This has come about after I read Blood & Bronze by Johan Nordinge and Olav Nygard with others. As a serious Mesopotamian fan, I admire their work but see the compromises the authors made to develop a world for coherent play and trying to get some action that isn't ethnic groups warring and ultimately slaughtering each other. So Sevven, Luxxe, and Bugge are getting a bit more infused with magic and beings more of regional than pulled off of murals. 

Right now the cosmos around the Fifth World is being worked out. Readers of the short-lived DC comic Claw the Unconquered will be familiar with the Nine Worlds. Four realms of light, four of darkness; and a middle one-- a fifth one if you will.  Still it might have some serious Blue-hair atmosphere worked in so players can get some sword-axe action going on. 

Yes you've seen this one before.

The "Stragea Isles" ecology (it's so pretentious, even I can't stop it) is coming along nicely as well. Trying to keep this setting, which is rather vast in my head, from spilling over too much from thirteen pages. Adding some art will take up even more page space, but we'll see how it works out.
