Taking the Holidays Off

Hey, everyone. I’m writing to let you know that I am taking the holidays off from posting. I’ll return with a new post on January 7th, but there will be a few changes!  First, I’m moving the blog to a different platform, but that could change. You…

Sky Whales

Is it even worth setting a world in the sky if you don't have sky whales? I think not!   What is a Sky Whale? Sky whales are large whale-like creatures that float through the sky on multi-year migration patterns. Scholars are unsure whether they were always up in…

First Thoughts: New Draw Steel Classes

The October Draw Steel Patreon packet is out, and we have four new classes and three levels for all classes to talk about. I want to focus on the Censor (Paladin), Null (anti-magic Monk), Talent (psionic/psychic Wizard), and Troubadour (Bard).  Specifically, I cover my first thoughts on the classes…

Important Locations in Mor-ladron

Ancestries of Skies of Mor-ladron

I have settled on the seven ancestries that will populate this area of Skies of Mor-ladron (SoM): anakim, dwarves, fungorians, goblins, humans, mallki and muki, and wode elves. (As more places are discovered, other ancestries might also appear.) I already talked about wode elves…

Magic: The Elementalist

Let’s talk about magic. I have talked about Black Ash sorcery before and as we get more information on how the talent, null, censor, and troubador work, I’ll incorporate their magic into Skies of Mor-ladron (SoM).  Today, I describe how I see the elementalist working for SoM. As…
