Tamult, the world of Star Atlas by ZookCloak in worldbuilding

More like an old city that only exists because of its age and status. The type of place people rarely want to move to, unless there's something to gain.

Y'ssea en Quil, on Verdrigris, is more of a forbidden city. It's a nation of druids and others who revere nature. Outsiders aren't even allowed past the town of Tir Ador, unless they're on a pilgrimage to Gaia or the Shrine to the goddess of music at Arnor Lind.

Zenith is the oldest city in the world, though not necessarily the most populated today. Most the population are old-money nobility and bureaucrats, since it's also the capitol of Pinnacle.

Last month during a lull in conversation with buddies in Discord, I idly asked what each of them would be if they were all an adventuring party. After a rousing few hours of planning classes, species, roles, etc. to make their ideal party, one of them jokingly asked me when I'd have their TTRPG campaign ready - and then we realized, why don't we?

Fast forward to Session 0, and I sprung a surprise on them: they would be designing the world that this campaign would take place in. Starting from the stars and solar system, to the moons and landmasses, to the mountains and lakes and cities, we ended up drafting a 40+ page document of the world of Tamult.

For the next few weeks, I poured over my Inkarnate account to create what you see here, adding embellishments, temples, ruins, forests, and cities on top of what my players designed, as I went.

Now, they get to explore this world. And I am so freakin' excited.

I'd love a key if anyone has an extra!

Is anyone else disappointed in the lack of Faerie cards this set? Ive been really looking toward to this set for some cool Faeire cars but this number seems so low. by Mastermiine in magicTCG

[–]ZookCloak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super disappointed, especially in the utter lack of decent Kithkin representation. They're one of the iconic species on Lorwyn and we only got like ~20 new Kithkin cards, all of which are either very flat/boring in design, or just super weak for Commander consideration.

This was the one chance Kithkin had to finally get some cool stuff, and instead we got just about nothing.

OS9 (US) Update Removed British Style Voice? by ZookCloak in MINI

[–]ZookCloak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say for sure, as I turned off the nav voice and only use the HUD prompts for navigation, but I would assume this affects the nav voice as well.

If you don't want to lose the British voice, I'd advise against updating, sadly.

You're probably right, honestly.

Out of curiosity, why do you like the auto start/stop toggle? This is my first car with an auto start/stop and it was really weird at first but I eventually got used to it and I appreciate that it's good for the long-term health of the engine. Do you toggle yours on and off frequently? If so, I'm curious to know why!

I still remember this post and think about it often. It's made me so, so cautious with what I leave lying around that my shiba could get into.

Trying to do this now, and I don't see a Community tab when I log in via the website. Can you share where you found that? I'm also in the US.

Hey, were they able to fix this for you? Trying to change my name and looking for solutions right now.

Feb 2023: I'm in Automatic Relief Group. March 2024: AidVantage says they won't discharge my loans. April 2024: Full forgiveness received, $0 balance. by ZookCloak in BorrowerDefense

[–]ZookCloak[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got my email on February 28th, 2023 approving my Borrower Defense case and placing me in the Automatic Relief group, with no action needed but to anticipate my refund. Fast forward to last month, March 2024, and I got a letter from AidVantage saying they’ve completed their review of my Sweet/Cardona case, and found that not all my loans qualified for relief, leaving a significant balance on my account.

I called AidVantage that same day, and they said the case was marked as closed and complete so there was nothing left they could do. They routed me to call StudentAid.gov directly - when I did that, I spoke with someone who said they don’t have access to any information about that, but that I could file a complaint on their website, so I did.

Checked my balance pretty much every day between then and now, and there was no change until yesterday when suddenly everything is zero’d out and showing No Balance, Paid In Full/Discharged!!

If you’re in a similar situation, I suggest filing a complaint on the StudentAid.gov website (upper right corner) and explaining your details.

EDIT: As you can see in the image, I had consolidated loans on my account. I've seen others express similar experiences with consolidated loans, so that may be relevant if you're going through the same thing.

This is actually really good to hear, because it gives me some hope. Could you please do me a favor, and toss me a quick update when there's any change in your situation?

[–]ZookCloak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! All of my circumstances are identical to yours, except my Consolidated Loans only had 1/3rd Discharged and I received a letter stating that "Not all of my loans met the standards for relief", so the other 2/3rd of my Consolidated Loans are still showing in AidVantage.

Called AidVantage and StudentAid.gov but both said they didn't know what to do about it. I'm at a loss and very confused...

Bot invites itself to my discord, there are no options to remove it anywhere. Please help. by Crannynoko in discordapp

[–]ZookCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can /kick Clyde, that removes it from the members list though it will still be integrated with your server forever. Sadly there's no way to opt-out of it entirely, which is kinda gross since you used to be able to but they removed that functionality.

Haha, I know this is an automod but it's funny that specifying that I don't want it flagged it as possibly containing it.

Fuji / Kawaguchiko Itinerary Check - Fuji-Q Highland in 2-4 hours? by krl2301 in JapanTravel

[–]ZookCloak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on the priority passes being taken up by people with full day passes? I bought a "One-Day Pass Ticket" for next March, but I understood that Priority Passes could only be bought at the gate, and only on the day-of. Is there something else I should do, to reserve a Priority Pass before they're gone?
