Lore: Liber de Sinistram Viam

For this week, I’ve selected four text with a common theme concerning philosophical outlooks among mages. This expert represents the work of the Left Hand Path, a worldview the player character can subscribe to, through a choice made during character creation. It is more or less congruous with the general concept of black magic, but as it often is, trying to link it to any kind of “evil” outlook on the Arcane is misguided.

Lore: Daimonic Philosophia

For this week, I’ve selected four text with a common theme concerning philosophical outlooks among mages. In this expert we take a look at the tendency of mages to hyperfixate on their, so called, great works. These fixations are common among all of magekind, but for some they take on destructive spins, either directed at the self or outwards.

Today I’d like to dissect some of my code. Specifically, we’re going to be looking into how the action economy interacts with writing branching fiction and how what’s in the new intro might not be what you think it is.

Lore: Traversing The Spider’s Web

There are many things out there in the Cosmos that humanity encounters, this week, two chance encounters. Some beings can be quite friendly and sympathetic to humans, but even so, barriers in communication still exist. After all, how do you describe to someone a colour they cannot see?

Lore: Narodnaya Titan

There are many things out there in the Cosmos that humanity encounters, this week, two chance encounters. What can be said about this one, apart from its strange nature? Perhaps that, in the end, to the vast majority of living things in the universe humanity simply does not matter. They ignore us, and move on with their vast, strange lives.
