Thanks to those who stuck around while I took a vacation from this substack. I hope you enjoyed last week’s review of Hoard of Delusion. I should have waited another week for that review since the actual physical copy came in today!
That being said, I’m making a significant change to this substack page: from this point on, all content will be strictly Fayn lore. All other content present, such as reviews, comments about game mechanics, etc, will be archived.
Once a week, probably on Saturday morning, an article concerning the lore of Fayn at different levels… from overviews to in-depth examinations… will appear here and in your email.
This also means a probable reworking of the Fayn map, which may take one of two directions. Either:
1. A more detailed map through Inkarnate vs Wonderdraft (which I had been using), or
2. An expanded map covering more terrain. This would lead to a slight rearrangement of the powers around the Sepulchral Seas and a re-examination of their relationships to each other.
The biggest reason I would go with option 1 is that I originally designed the Fayn map as a starting point with lands beyond left vague for individual campaign development. Again, I may stick with that, or I may redevelop it all to cover even more land mass. I haven’t decided just yet.
Since it will be all Fayn lore, I’ve turned off the paid tier. Any material developed for commercial consumption will probably appear on Patreon. More on that in time.
Lastly, not all material will be mechanically designed for AD&D and/or the OSR style games.
See you next week!
