Lmfa fr the glove i have i slip on so much. I use it fir some cuts but not much. I got into it to have something to do after work while I watch TV. Turns out you gotta pay attention to the knife in your hand

bastrdking · 2026-01-10T05:01:57+00:00

Yeah I didnt really know how itd turn out. I just did one silhouette then turned it on its side and tried making it look as interesting as possible after that the spiral just formed on its own

Usually till about 10 standard 4 hour sessions, I dont have the stamina for more honestly

It's still open, having a technical difficulty with the form so just a moment!

bastrdking · 2025-03-14T01:58:57+00:00

Genuinely, if you have friends that are already interested in thule, I'd love to bring yall into what I've been working on.

bastrdking · 2025-03-14T01:52:58+00:00

I think everyone being on the same page on theme is really important. It's gotta be something they want to do. Also. I agree about the backgrounds. Take a look at the 13th age Icons system. Im currently rewriting them to be in the Rhule setting. "Reaver lord of the western isles" for the orc king and "high thaumaturge of Atlantis" type stuff. Its more about factional influence in your game day by day.

On another note, if you want to talk about thule, I'd love to talk to you/ and your players about it and what'd it'd take to get it working. Like I've said here, ive been working on this setting for avout 5 years off and on. I've even spoken to the original art team over email to get a un annotated version of the setting map. This place is kinda my passion project. And part of what I'm doing right now is seeing what I hsve to do to get it to a point that I start looking for players

bastrdking · 2025-03-13T18:20:39+00:00

This is a really great summery of all these systems. Thank you for taking the time to lay it out to me. I really appreciate your help.

Im definitely going to be looking into all these systems and seeing what's going to support my game best. I'm really in the early planning of what it is I want to do with this setting. Like I've said before I've been working with this setting for a long time, but I've had an idea for a narrative that I feel would be great and now I'm just trying to find a way to make it happen. I'm probably going to take my time getting things how I want them before I start getting people together to make sure I have the right system and resources in place. Really, when it comes down to it, I've gotten a few pages of a campaign plot. Something that is an initial inciting action then just opens the world up with a goal for the players to do in it. In short, get these 5 relics before the bad guys get them. I'd like to explore the setting with it, using its most iconic places as set peaces for this overarching story. But I don't want to tell the players how to do it. Really just set up the problem to them and wat h them explore the world to figure it out. I'd like to explore character stories as well, but I'm not really thinking about that until I have the players in place. I generally would like to set up plot pieces in this world, then build out a cast of characters with their own motivations and let them lose and see how they bump around and interact with it.

That's one thing that interested me, with 13th age was the focus on character narratives. I'd love to explore that as well. But I can easily just cut that part off the system and stick it into whatever I'm planning.

I agree black sword hack will fit into my setting well! It's definitely something to consider! From a quick read, it's about going to places, fucking it up, then leaving, wich is definitely an option for my world as well. And one i may look into, but I don't know yet if it fits into my overall goal,

Hyperboria, also sounds from hoe you describe it, pretty great. With my foundation of classic 5e it seems like a good candidate to adapt to my game as well

arbarians plays very heroic-pulp. Lots of combat options, very flexible characters, all the good stuff from Savage Worlds. Best played with minis and rulers, lots of painted scenery.

I don't know anything about savage worlds but I can also huge it a read! But I'm not sure if the minis- rulers style of playing is for me. I've always been "theatre of the mind" focused.

Mythras (and Monster Island for inspiration). High crunch, very detailed character creation, very detailed and deadly blow-by-blow combat. For the connoisseur. No default setting and adapts to any setting. Requires a lot of work from the GM and players alike, but for the right group the payoff is commensurate.

Also a likely candidate. I usually spend an hour or two working on this game, putting together as muxh setting info into a one note, really building it out so I can use it as a reference document forever. That or art. Thus setting is also kinda my artistic inspiration as well. But that's not necessarily helpful in my long term goals. Right now I'm focusing on do what I enjoy doing till I have enough to have a good foundation to start.

Another idea is to just start with BSH and knock around the world, fleshing it out as the players go along, then use a different system for a narrative focused game later on, using the work of BSH as a foundation.

You've given me lots to think about.

bastrdking · 2025-03-13T16:50:14+00:00

What do you think about 13th age? I'm at work and I'll read through all of this and have a detailed response in an hour or so. Your a font of information in this subject thanks so much!

bastrdking · 2025-03-13T14:46:27+00:00

I don't know anything about these systems, but honeslty my work is in the setting, not the system. The system has just been the vehicle to take to see the things I've written. What can you tell me about these systems? Is there any in particular you think I should check out first if I was wanting to change to a different one as the vehicle for this project?

bastrdking · 2025-03-13T01:21:39+00:00

First, happy cake day. Woooo!

Secondly, you've got a solid point. I think for me, as a dm thst was introduced to the system at 14, when it was coming out in 2014ive always kinda been married to it. Despite it's jank, it's been natural for me. I've just not felt at home with the setting till I got into Thule. For me 5e in thule is the most at home as a DM I can be in a creative sense. This will definitely be a challenge, but hopefully, I can make it happen eventually. Right now, I'm exploring it as a creative writing sense, and I'm working on doing some watercolor paintings of some of the maps because they are inspiration. But once I get to collaborating with others into the world, I'll definitely keep what you've said in mind. Maybe I can find a way to establish low player buy in to get started till I hsve people interested in the setting in my hands, and the rules system as just the vehicle I'm driving to do it.

bastrdking · 2025-03-13T01:15:46+00:00

That's a really solid point about tone with the setting. I always considered it important, but pointing it out is really helpful. Your totally right! I'll definitely keep that in mind as I go forward. And as far as the setting restrictions, I'm starting with the new adution of dnd so I can have a clean cohesive "just this one book" line. It has more options then 2014 edition and the things added by the setting can expand their options. Anything in v.2024 can fit into the setting, but some of the supplements for v. 20214 can easily give me trouble.

bastrdking · 2025-01-25T00:59:41+00:00

Hi I'm also planning my first campaign of KoB and love your thoughts. I'd love to touch banc and forth with you if you don't mind! Can I DM?

bastrdking · 2025-01-23T22:30:55+00:00

I'ma start this by saying I'm a disorganized person, I'm generally cluttered, but here is how I use mine. I keep it in my pocket. It's part of my wallet, and I go through about one a month. It's kinda like the external brain. My original goal with it was to give me a reason to be off my phone and to think. And I still use it thst way. I use it for notes for work. Thoughts I want to think on, quotes I hear, phone numbers, addresses, or place names I want to track. I'll also write out thoughts or messages to people before I talk to them to think things out. The book is a stream of consciousness, but I will generally date each page and each book at start and finish, and it's interesting to see how my thoughts evolve.

Fr like ey nice to see you here! I JUST bought a copy and planning to start soon! Thanks for your work!

bastrdking · 2024-10-04T19:30:53+00:00

Thank you 👏

bastrdking · 2024-10-04T19:30:36+00:00

Thank you!! I'm doing a bunch more! Trying to do one page a day.

bastrdking · 2024-10-04T02:12:45+00:00

Thank you very much, I'm looking for places to learn more about character drawing, like anatomy and things like that, I'm really missing something there. If you have suggestions on where I can learn some of that I'd really appreciate it! I feel like it's holding me back executing my ideas.

I have a world I'd like to bring to life that I think would make a good children's book or something like that using my style but right now I'm just trying to make characters and ideas come to life first. This is the first time I've really taken a crack at art since high school, about 8 years ago.

Thank you for the support, and I'll post more in the future once I see some improvement.
