Forging the World and Tracking the Campaign
November 21, 2024
August technically marked two years since we started playing again, and now we've also logged a full 24 “monthly” sessions as of October. Glorious! A regional map update with additional labels and notes is in the works. A pantheon of deities has been created and will hopefully be posted before the end of the year. Rumor has it that a colorful field guide of flora for use with alchemical and cooking skills is also being developed. And more 3DTT features, of course!
