Writing Update — May — Tzimayat!

Culture Composites: Daecia
Here, at last, is the final Imperial Heartlands culture composite: Daecia and the Palace.
Culture Composites: Gejara
Even though the Imperial Heartlands culture composites are just one step from finished, I’ve decided to pass beyond the borders to write up the independent nation of Gejara instead. The last Imperial province, after all, is Daecia and the Palace…

Obsessive Character Creation Disorder 2: The Gods
So I’ve been tinkering around with the Rinmaru games some more because I can’t help myself, and decided to create a bunch of characters I haven’t worked on in ages — not since the last cartoony character-creator I got sucked … Continue reading
