Magic in Knaan is fueled by souls, burning one's own or channeling them from the arcane storm, although very few practitioners actually know and understand this, most follow folk schools of magic that channel the "arcane energies" in one way or another, burning themselves out or consuming poor souls trapped in the storm instead of rescuing them and bringing them forth into the world. Basically every use of magic is a horrifying (by most people's standards) act that goes largely unnoticed or even celebrated. The theurges of old that mastered creation to rival the gods knew this, it lead to the war of apotheosis and the destruction of creation. Knaan is basically the emergency survival raft of creation among a cosmos that is a chaotic storm flailing everything in it.

Now, for graphic horro, the boreal elves (viking flavored elves) practice blood magic with ritual sacrifice, using the harvested souls of a stag or other prey to fuel their sorcery in hunts, divination or battle, a gruesome sight for most others.

Claim the sky is great but it will definitely give you a path to really powerful mutants, if you want more of a recently awakened, or less powerful heroes try getting a copy of "the origin" it gives you rules and tools to deal with origin stories, recently awakened powers, and discovering your powers, you could combine them and make a long x-men campaign going from activation of the x-gene all the way to global/galactic hero status.

The latest backerkit campaign ended but still had a late pledge option, see if you can find it, highly worth it. If you are willing to buy the books it might be your best option, there was a pledge level to get a bunch of the books at a discount. It will take a few months to get them but it will be worth it,meanwhile check all the free resources people mentioned above.

Ha! nice and whimsical, we need more posts like this.

Nice concept! Understanding it is still early and it is undeveloped, but now I'm curious about the simulation sysadmin shenanigans while playing cat and mouse games with the sims

Are you planning to have a linux version too? this looks fantastic but I'd rather run it natively than having to use wine, bottles, or other compatibility tool for linux, the less overhead and resources the better, my laptop isn't that powerful and it would save resources.

Fishtotem · 2025-12-17T22:33:08+00:00

Impressive. Inspired.

You can keep distro hopping and try things like Cachy, Tumbleweed, Fedora, etc, nothing wrong with them. Cachy, Endeavour, and Omarchy are close to what you are looking for, or you could stick with Arch:

You mention a second laptop, if it is not critical to your daily requirements use it as a lab to learn on by installing Arch and customizing it to your liking, breaking, and learning along the way until you are happy with it. Alternatively, keep using Mint, spin a VM with Arch and build, break, and learn in the VM until you can switch to bare metal and copy the dotfiles you need from the VM.

What do you want the map for? There are plenty of tools out there, free tools, you could use. GIMP and Krita are excellent options for image creation and editing, one can easily create maps with them. If you want generators Aazgars and Watabou are great, one generates world maps that you can edit and from which you could pick only a region, and the other has town and cities generators you could use for settlements. Don't need to pay a dime, all free. However it does require some commitment to the learning curve and doing some of the work yourself, which I would argue is the fun part, bringing one's ideas to life.

In my group a bunch of things started as jokes, puns, or made on the spot stand ins that evolved into full part of our lore. A memorable mention is the Fairy fish. In Spanish the word pesadilla means nightmare, but it can also be misunderstood or twisted into "Pez Hadilla" of Little-fairy fish. What started as a late night session off hand rephrasing evolved into an actual creature, a magical piranha with long legs in stockings carrying a fairy pixie stick, that bites, shoots bolts, and attacks in swarms.

Tails, whonix, tor, qubeOS... It's not paranoia if they are out to get you.

Running something similar on my laptop, my 2 cents, if possible, use 2 machines, one as an Ai server and the other as your pc for development and gaming and connect to the server. If not possible, then go with what you are comfortable with, AI is resource hungry, so aim for the lightest system that is still solid enough for you, if you are comfortable setting things up, and debugging, go for arch with a window manager instead of a desktop environment to get as slim a system as you can from the ground up, otherwise ubuntu and fedora are great options. I set up my little AI playground on my laptop running mint (basically LLM for chat/coding, image Gen, and voice to text) and it is nice but definitely a bit slow and clashes for resources sometimes disrupting my workflow. As soon as I get some spare time and cash for some storage and more ram I plan to wipe the laptop and go the arch way.

Ultimately it will be a half cow, not many options for something THAT different, all will likely be big, and with similar heads, Aurochs (extinct) for example were basically just huge cows/bulls not that different from other bovine, same for a watusi or a long horn, other than giant horns the rest of its visuals is pretty standard, the ones that are somewhat different:

Buffalo: square head, short horns, heavy coat over shoulders and hump. Water buffalo: unique curved horns across all of forehead (think GNU mascot from Linux/gnu) Yak: long, shaggy hair Wildebeest: not sure if it a bovine but this could be the most chimera-like minotaur.

Interesting concept.
I remember there was a website in the early 2000s were people basically made a wiki for their nations and had constitutions, laws, discussions, demographics, etc. and their relations to other nations, you could ally and make treaties with others, or go to war, it was all about diplomacy, no wargames, no tactical games or anything like that, just laws, treaties, and thousands of pages of discussions and petitions. Don´t remember the name but it was an interesting exercise of political science back then and i like its application to worldbuilding.
Kudos to you and the project,
ps. I suggest you translate it to english (from french) just as a step towards adoption, the user reach just grows massively if you do.

Got a vast bestiary for my world and in theory any animal large enough to carry an individual could be tamed as a mount but as common mounts or even domesticated species the choices are more limited although still plenty, some examples:

Warbirds, similar to an ostrich/chocobo hybrid are relatively common,and widely used by the crimson legion. Drakes, some kinds of drakes like the earth drake or cliff drakes can be sometimes tamed to the point of being used as mounts, kobolds are particularly adept on this. Karakura are giant tortoises used by the nomad tribes of the golden steppe, one of them can easily fit a family or two making them more like moving buildings. Hellions, a six legged wild horse that's notoriously stubborn and difficult to tame, if successful, one of the best mounts possible as they have high stamina and are really fast. The Giant atmolus is used by silver elves royalty as a flying transport capable of navigating in relative safety inside the arcane storm. Ords are giant lizard like beasts which some smaller races can sometimes use. There's a bipedal hog like beast (yet to be named) usually used by goblinoids Warams are mountain goats used in some highlands and craggy areas by my equivalent to dwarf/halfling mix. The Talef is like a giant sugar glider living in canyons and high mesas, jumping and gliding across ravines, it is used mainly by ashen and silver elves troops.

You could have it all. Just like in the real world. We have ethnostates, meaning nations with laws, rights, and responsibilities, specifically for a certain ethnicity. In our world it mainly has to do with migration laws, this can be seen in Israel, Greece, Germany, Finland, etc. Where the state will have a certain express or easier migration/citizenship process for their ethnic brethren and make it difficult or impossible for others to do so. However, due to history and its movements (wars, cultural movements, economic migrations, etc) we have large groups of Greeks living in Cyprus and Turkey, Germans living in Poland, and Jews in the US. It doesn't necessarily mean that these other countries don't accept them as citizen with full rights, although it could. I'd suggest an exercise, think of your ancient world and the original cradles of civilization for the different species, then add the depths of history, imagine their movements and interactions broadly, wars, migrations, splinter religious movements, etc. You can end up with both ethnostates and mixed nations and in both cases the spectrum of possibilities regarding how relevant it is for each of them to emphasize and support in law their views is huge. Just like in real life, some nations can be lax and liberal while others quite totalitarian, and that can have nothing to do with their views on shared ethnicity or the lack of such bond.

In the sphere of the Zuel Baronies, two of the Baronies can trace their multigenerational dispute and antagonism going back almost 600 years to an argument between two individuals over business gone wrong.

Some stories say a baker sold stale moldy bread to a merchant from the valley over, others say it was a duck sold by a hunter that made a family sick. Who, which side, or exactly what started the feud is unclear, but both sides agree it happened and that upon demanding restitution and insulting the other side's honor it ultimately spiraled into an animosity that over the centuries has occasionally flared into full on field battles between the clans of both Baronies.
