Worldember 2025: Campaign Work II Electric Boogaloo

Exemplari require paths of study to follow yes, and we have those, though their may be secrets yet to be mastered, understood, or properly translated. However besides that they need stories, they need opportunities to rise forth, to answer the calls of boldness, exploration and both heroism or villiany.


After a few months 'off' and after winning Human of the Match for SC Which is still insane to me I'm returning to a project from 2023 that I kind of put aside for 2024 WE to play with my bestiary and some other things more. However I have just acquired Foundry, and given I have a goal to be running a PF2e game (at least one) sometime in the new year, well I'd already sort of started building out a plan for one.

I think I've abandoned the 'adventure' path idea so much. It was a fun experiment however it isn't my style and besides I might very well be recruiting from the WA community for the game when it comes time, so I wouldn't want to spoil too much in regards to the campaign. So I think my intention will be to flesh out more of the region in general, the people, creatures, interesting locations, organizations with power and sway, all that fun stuff. A localized setting box for the region that I'm intending the game to at least start in.

The overhauled homework is very cool and I don't really know much of my plan yet. I have many accountability buddies, including my ferrets and my other half of course, however I need to see about linking up with someone in the community for that purpose I like the idea of a tandem accountability/accountabully system. Otherwise I am very excited to get back into this particular folder with more vigor and refamiliarize myself with the region and get a bit more in the weeds of the world of Valerick in at least one small area, especially now that a lot of the 'umbrella' that is the large scale stuff is done!!

Given my intentions to run a game, there will be elements of what I wrote two years ago in this category which will likely be reimagined or purged as I had the adventure path esque experiment then. It was a fun experiment, but turns out that sort of writing and such isn't my style. So instead we shall focus on the indirect with building out the Fir-Jiem Valley region, so that we have plenty of material to work with when I begin running a game that starts in the region.

What would you need/want in a buddy?

Basically the occasional check in via discord whenever we pop in WE chat together of like "You aren't lost in the sauce on Foundry again are you!?! You have writing to do!!" lol. I need to be called out occasionally or I shall get distracted with shiny new toy.

Come visit my world of Kena'an for tales of fantasy and magic! Or, if you fancy something darker, Crux Umbra awaits.

<3 You as well, I'm so excited to see what comes out of the mysterious stubs hiding in Kena'an, and of course Crux Umbra, my beloved, as always. I am really enjoying the peek into your Pathfinder experience though with your new project too, its very fun to peep behind the veil like that sometimes beyond just swapping table moment stories :D

Grandmaster Keon Croucher, I would be absolutely delighted to help you in your quest to work and avoid the "shiny thingies" whatever they are. I, too, have been known to let my Au-DHD wander down paths becoming lost in the forest or tunnels or wherever I happen to be at that time. Alas, I must inform you that I cannot access WA Discord (due to muitiple reasons but none in the past year) but I don't believe that shall stop us. I do have Discord. And I think we can do it. If you'll have me, I will greatly appreciate the company. I must go now. I have much to prepare for. Congrats on Human of the Match from SC! Glad tidings to you and your kin! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Mostly its Foundry, a virtual tabletop for running DnD and other such Tabletop games. Gamemastering is how I got into the hobby space and its my first love so getting Foundry was a longtime plan and now learning it and setting up to run a game again sometime early next year is like the primary mission. HOWEVER I have like a 5 year streak going with Worldember so I cannot simply abandon that, that'd be poor form, the streak must go on!   and I do have discord. I'd normally say look on WA discord and search for me, I'm Keon and I'm a grandmaster (so purple name) but obviously that won't work. I am in Wordi's discord if you happen to be in that one, I don't chat overly much in there, its just one of the many many servers of writers I like that I've collected being a part of, and I think my name is just Keon in that one too? If not it'd be Keon11, which is the handle my name has if I don't edit it for the server I'm in.
