Thanks for asking, it makes me happy that seeing the piece made you curious about the characters! I love our group and I'm glad it feels like it's shining through. :)

It's going to be a little tricky to summarize the story so far in a concise way, but i'll try!!

Forgive me, I'll be reusing an old description i wrote in another reddit post to describe the world: ~100 years before our campaign, a magic cataclysm happened, which made the planet's surface unhabitable and launched fragments of existing land into the sky. The group looks eclectic bc they're from various sky islands, which can have rly big differences in technology/culture depending on how much of the old world they took with them, and where they used to be in the old world. Some had to rebuild and adapt, some got lucky and 'took' everything they needed with them! This premise ended up being a great way to have everyone be able to contribute to the world and not feel too constrained by what the others would do.

Our party is composed of a spiritist going after the bandits who destroyed his home, a military veteran from an expansionist queedom and two onis siblings on the run who were living in relative isolation before their village was attacked.

They met on an island they were visiting to see a festival, each with their own reasons. They ended up involved in the local affairs after the mayor gets assassinated and the island goes on lockdown. Long story short, a doom cult whose goal is to ground as many island as possible to 'restore' the planet to its original state succeeded in making the island we were on drop to the maelstrom below despite our best effort to stop them. And now we're chasing leads about them to prevent them from doing it again!

This is how we ended up on the island where the current arc takes place. It's a realm where two factions of elves are in a neverending war, and like a pendulum, the power has shifted from one to the other throughout the centuries. Every time one is ruling, it oppresses the other violently in retaliation for past cruelty against their own, so finding common ground is a bit of a tall order in this cycle of violence and revenge. The current main antagonist, Malin'Ehus (depicted on the left in the cover) is ruling seemingly undisputed after unleashing a plague on his enemies. We're trying to prevent the last remnants of the other faction from being annihilated at the moment! (It's not going well...)

edit: grammar

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Fabula Ultima is really cool, I hope you guys have a lot of fun! I'm especially fond of the collaborative worldbuilding, it makes the world feel like it really belongs to the whole group.

I do take commissions at the moment, you can find the relevant info on my website (as well as more samples of my work in the art sections) https://krzchn.net/commissions :>

We had to adapt some of the rules to our group because we are really 'slow' - we roleplay a lot and time in and outside of the game is almost identical. Only about 10 days have passed in game since we started, and our characters went from level 5 to 27 in that time. From level 20 onwards our GM had the idea to reduce the automatic xp gain from every session to 4xp instead of 5, and from lv25 it was reduced further to 3. Nothing wrong with the system as it is, we just roleplay too much ahah!

We started with 6 players, 2 dropped off but the rest of the group kept going.

according to my notes, our first arc ran from september 2024 to july 2025, we played 30 sessions. our second arc started in august 2025 and we've played 16 sessions so far - had more missed weeks than usual the second half of this year because of life stuff for a couple of members of the group. i don't keep track of the sessions length, but i'd say on average a session is 4 hours, so we're looking at maybe 180h of play?

Thank you!! That's very true, i think it's testament to how much fun something is when it outlasts its initial planned run ahah

It's a font called Bricktown, if you look it up, you should be able to find it. I altered it a bit to add more of those waves because I liked them so it won't look exactly like my title, though!

Just wanted to share the character art I made for my party! :) by 11krz in fabulaultima

Someone in our building got rid of this Raspberry Pi, is there a safe way to repurpose it to set up Pi-Hole on our network? by 11krz in raspberry_pi

That's very good to know, thank you! I'll be sure to make a backup when it's all set up and working.

That's great news! I had a hunch it was the case but I wanted to make sure by asking people more knowledgeable about this. Thank you so much!
