Or is there? Honestly, I don't really care - people have the right to think what's right and wrong - and to express these feelings. In case of my artpunk-ish setting, the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/400339/Ashen-Void" target="_blank">Ashen Void</a> - any publicity is a good publicity. Especially when the written content is of any positive quality. And I believe it is!<p></p><p>(in addition, I've made a <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/425565/Ashen-Void-no-art-edition" target="_blank">no-art edition</a> as well, for all those haters who still want to enjoy over seventy random tables without the need to damage their eyesight with the disgusting, AI-generated deformities!)</p><p>BUT - to be honest, I'm quite tired of wars within the hobby. Being it edition wars, wars on artpunk, or even wars on particular people, no matter whether they deserve the hate or not. Fuck it. Negativity is rarely a sign of an improvement.</p><p>I'm still quite enamored with the basic idea of artpunk RPGs. But the think I'm working on has quickly evolved beyond the artpunk aesthetics. In fact, it has quickly evolved outside the role-playing games. Or even games in broader sense.</p><p>The Black Tome of Nothingness will be an artbook. And while the basic idea was to make a book that could be handed to the players as an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoohdTUHOhk" target="_blank">in-game artifact</a>, the actual thing quickly became something more. At least for me, from the author's perspective. The statement above is still true - there will be nothing about any kind of game mechanics, rules or "laws". But for me, the maker - the <a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2024/02/breaking-shackles-of-expectations.html">process is much more important</a>. So, you may expect a messy mix of styles and ideas, sprinkled with an unhealthy dose of ugly artwork.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-lTdxRMq59DVzudtLZMuSM7jTCPkFYPfGcRLooUlgBzutke2DYgQQgsy-kF4AP2s9dPAjLpXKNojU_WmJn6eSB4JifmYerKW_kRwBztXU3d28Yl6vzYdrk3yGGzbnrC6gpUeOzckcYwWxOQR51X8OiLM6sv8rpUtzO0WwA8jqB62iEjUBam_lokHYJdkI/s942/abstract.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="666" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-lTdxRMq59DVzudtLZMuSM7jTCPkFYPfGcRLooUlgBzutke2DYgQQgsy-kF4AP2s9dPAjLpXKNojU_WmJn6eSB4JifmYerKW_kRwBztXU3d28Yl6vzYdrk3yGGzbnrC6gpUeOzckcYwWxOQR51X8OiLM6sv8rpUtzO0WwA8jqB62iEjUBam_lokHYJdkI/w283-h400/abstract.png" width="283" /></a></div><p> </p><p>The thing will be quite sizable - for now, I have ideas for over 200 entries (very briefly described <a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2024/02/black-tome-of-nothingness-list-of_20.html">HERE</a>). And each one of them will be a full-sized mix of artwork and handwritten bullshit. And only like 5 are already done. </p><p>The process of creating them is quite interesting in itself. I have like 3-5 sentences-long descriptions of each entry. And when I start to lay out the basic images that relate to the text, the new text is also born. And it leads to the new doodles. And so on - until I run out of space on one A4-sized workspace (yes, everything is made digitally). Any leftovers are noted, as in most cases they are some cross-references to other entries. </p><p>I love making it. It's fun.</p><p>Judging from my pace of creating previous things - expect the Black Tome to be released somewhere in mid-2040s! I will try to keep you up to date - but I think you know me already.</p><p><b><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Albert%20Rakowski">Oh, and the February sale of all my shit on DriveThru is still on!

Another year!</p><p>I'm still here, still semi-active in the TTRPG creative department. Too tired with people to participate in any online activities such as social media and stuff. Too burned out with Pain RPG to finally finish, playtest and release it. Too tired to care.<br /></p><p>But it doesn't mean I'm done. Actually, for the last month or two I've been working on another generic supplement, called the<b> Aldarien's Magic Tome</b>. And it will be about - you guessed it - magic! Random tables with strange items, even stranger item names, tons of magic-related rumors (dunno, 200-1000 of them, depending on my mental state, haha), NO SPELLS. There are amazing spell crafters in the community that are way better than me - and you should relate on their creativity and talent more than on mine - at least in the case of magical spells. <a href="https://ancientvaults.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Here</a> you can fint the finest example of them all.</p><p>Right now, the supplement is about halfway done (still fighting with the rumors) and will have like 50-70 A5-sized pages. Maybe I will find power to make some (non-AI) artwork for it. Maybe it will remain as text-only. Who knows.</p><p>Well, that's all for now. I will post here once it's released. Meanwhile, take care!<br /></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2024/01/mmxxiv.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2024/01/mmxxiv.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-01-17T03:49:00-06:00'>3:49 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2024/01/mmxxiv.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3722166644592366434&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3722166644592366434&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3722166644592366434&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

I like to blog, I do not like schedules.</p><p>But you know what? I do not owe anything to anyone in terms of releasing my shit on any kind of schedule. In fact, no one can force me to release my shit at all! <a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/search/label/Pain%20RPG">Pain</a> is complete and still unreleased. I think it's a really good game - but I cannot make it happen. I still have no strength to finish the artwork. And I don't have - and most likely will never have - strength to promote my games, my music, my art.</p><p>And I don't fucking care.</p><p>I do have my day job and I can still afford to eat. And even though I like when people buy my stuff, I find it extremely stressful to promote myself and my creations. I find zero joy in doing any kind of promotion - even sending the review copies hurts my brain haha (especially because approximately 75% of all people who received the review materials never bothered to review them). So - fuck it. I don't care anymore. I just want to create and release shit, even if no one will ever read it, yet alone use it in his/her/its games. The process of creation should be the reward itself.</p><p>OK, so what are my plans for this year, in terms of hobby?</p><p>None, to be honest. I never was able to keep up with promises, so fuck them. I do work on something new/old/whatever right now (another successor of the Terminal Space) but it will be quite big, with weird artwork and totally packed with gibberish nonsense. But it will take me years to complete it. So no promises.</p><p>All be well.</p><p>Yours,</p><p>A.<br /></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2023/02/year-thirteen.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2023/02/year-thirteen.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2023-02-06T08:16:00-06:00'>8:16 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2023/02/year-thirteen.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 8 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=1624374183355961787&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=1624374183355961787&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=1624374183355961787&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

I do not dislike the classic six D&D stats. They are only tools. And - in my opinion - some of them may be replaced and others repurposed to make (my) games more interesting and make all their mechanical aspects easier to resolve.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Constitution (CON)</b> - this stat devours and incorporates the Strength and becomes the general description of one's physical strength and toughness.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Dexterity (DEX) </b>- nothing to see here, move along. Or rather, in some games, DEX was used to determine the ranged attacks, while STR was used to hit an opponent in melee. I find it, well, stupid. So, in my games (non-OSR games, as within the Old School I always stuck to 0e) DEX always was used for melee (and dodge, and of course som other non-combat actions). This brings us to the next stat.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Perception (PER) </b>- I always thought that lack of ability that clearly described one's senses was the biggest flaw of D&D (and WFRP as well, but that's another story). Thus, behold the Perception! Easy to use in ranged combat, easy to use for well, spotting things, hearing things and, uhh, tasting things? Okay, that may be a little too far.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Willpower (WLP)</b> - you may view the Willpower just as the classical Wisdom. I just changed the name to make it more fitting its purpose.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And... that's all! Or maybe not, as I like stats. And I like stat-based games and resolution systems. That's why the second edition of Terminal Space will be based on Knave. To make it even faster and easier to use. So, here are some additional ideas for the statistics:</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Tech Level</b> - I used it in both Terminal Space and <a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2013/01/bandits-and-battlecruisers-on-rpgnow.html">Bandits and Battlecruisers</a>. Randomly determining one's technological prowess always led to some hilarious results. Also, it fitted the genre really well.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Charisma </b>- extremely useful in most games and/or settings. So, you may ask, why I omitted it? Because in some settings. worlds and circumstances, it becomes quite obsolete. For example, robots aren't very sociable, so in settings devoid of humans (and elves, dwarves and so on) CHA isn't very helpful. <a href="https://www.pain-rpg.com/2021/08/the-unlife-part-one.html" target="_blank">That's why I got rid of it in Pain</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Faith </b>- can be used to describe the character's closeness to a god (or gods). <a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2016/06/perilous-ages-out-now.html">Perilous Ages</a> had some other minor mechanical benefits relatable to Faith's level but in more magical settings I would use it to affect one's ability to cast clerical spells.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Sync</b> - very open idea, created for use in Pain to outline one's attunement to the mystical powers of the City. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17s8Lzay8FM2tyy0hmP0Zew-PAMP_BI_Xs-84AMRJ8V0/edit#heading=h.p08zopxtnj9j" target="_blank">Here</a> (page 3) I've added some additional ideas how to use this stat in your games. Fueled by Pain is percentile ruleset but hey, it doesn't really matter in the matter of the character abilities.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Oh, and the last thing - you may ask - WHERE THE FUCK IS INTELLIGENCE? Well, nowhere. I dumped it. INT is absolutely and utterly pointless, maybe except the situations when you roll it really low, which forces you to roleplay an idiot. But aside of that, it doesn't have many good uses (at least in my opinion). Extracting some information from the GM isn't one of them. If you're stupid and your character isn't, it won't end up well. And I ran games for some, let's say, not very bright individuals (and - to be perfectly honest with you - I like both them and the memories of our games) so it's way easier to remove the PCs intelligence score, thus balancing it with the one of the player.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Sheesh, I think this post is quite gibberish. I sat down and wrote it on the fly, without any previous notes and similar stuff. So, if something is totally unreadable or unclear - let me know!<br /></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2022/06/i-dont-like-classic-abilities.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2022/06/i-dont-like-classic-abilities.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-06-23T11:39:00-05:00'>11:39 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2022/06/i-dont-like-classic-abilities.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 2 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=732142620097519500&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=732142620097519500&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=732142620097519500&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

I was unable to make quality artwork in time that was satisfactory for me. All artwork I made for the Character Classes turned out to bee too low-res to be OK in print. And I need to make over 80 drawings for the game. And I felt pressure, so I snapped.</p><p>It was a purely self-exerted pressure, as I haven't promised any deadlines, release dates etc. So - it was just fucking stupid. I felt pressure, so I become feeling uncomfortable. And I've lost fun I had while working on Pain. And - to be honest - it was all about fun. The process of designing and illustrating this game was a source of great joy, until something in my mindset has changed.</p><p>So - let me repeat myself once again - I snapped. I felt like shit, like I let myself down.</p><p>Did I mention it was stupid? Yes, I did. And I realized that just mere moments later. So I've decided that it have to wait and that I need some rest. To regain the ability to have fun while working on the project.</p><p>My way of taking a rest is, well... I immediately started to work on something different. A setting that was slowly taking shape in my head for quite some time. And man, when I started writing it down, it begun taking shape really quickly. And still is.</p><p>So far I have over 8k words written (it means about 1k words per day - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg5HOnq7zD0" target="_blank">not great, not terrible</a>). And it's not 8k words of notes - it's 8k words of an actual game. It's <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/214770/Towers-of-Krshal" target="_blank">Towers of Krshal</a> pace. And it's fun. Hard and difficult work but fun nonetheless.<br /></p><p>Maybe I will post something more about the setting tomorrow.</p><p>Oh, and the artwork above - it was made with help of an AI. I like it alot. And the new thing will have all artwork made or enhanced by a heartless machine.</p><p>If all of this sounds gibberish - I'm sorry. I'm not very good at writing essay-ish things about myself, in foreign language, haha!<br /></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2022/05/pain-update-and-something-new-as-well.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2022/05/pain-update-and-something-new-as-well.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2022-05-24T13:01:00-05:00'>1:01 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2022/05/pain-update-and-something-new-as-well.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 3 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=4658524962221025510&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=4658524962221025510&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=4658524962221025510&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

It's like playing games with my mental issues - and cheating to win, haha!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I plopped into a creative abyss with Void Blade. I managed to write several pages of text and random tables and made two full pages of laid out artwork and text. And created half of a map. And then I hit a wall, again. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Guess what happened next... </p><p style="text-align: justify;">After half a day spent in brawling with depression (played <a href="https://www.adom.de/home/index.html" target="_blank">ADOM</a>, had an amazing run, got torn into shreds by Cat Lord), my brain was immediately filled with an urge to work on Pain instead. And it actually worked - currently I'm filling the gaps in the descriptions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also, I realized that there is a significant flaw in my mindset - it's like a clearly visible pit in front of me, and it's filled with manure. And I still hop into it, each time. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I often thing "I must do this", "I must do that". And that's okay. Life forces us to do things all the time. And in many cases, it's rather wise to do some things. But - at least in this case - the problem is not that I must design some less-fun stuff, like equipment lists and monster stat blocks. The problem is that it took me DECADES to figure out that it depends solely on me HOW I will make these things. How I will design them and how I will present them in the rulebook.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What does it mean for the game? From your perspective - not much. From my point of view - everything has changed. And I must hack out the significant portions of the manuscript, and rework it.

That's the question I ask myself everytime i run the game. And now, when my gaming group is no more, I ask it when it comes to write down the ideas for something new, be it Perilous Frontiers, whY or something else. I ask myself even if I know the answer.<br /> <br /> Please note that I speak for myself and everything depends on multitude of different aspects.<br /> <br /> I do NOT need any rules. In fact, I ran game sessions for years (and we had them on a daily basis, back in the late 90s) without a single dice roll. Character sheets were used to track PCs belongings - and nothing else.<br /> <br /> Did it worked? Yes. But you must remember one extremely important thing.<br /> <br /> YOU MUST NOT BE AN ASSHOLE.<br /> <br /> When there are no dice and no stats, you - the GM - are the only arbiter of any actions. And I guarantee you that it will work out for almost any GM/DM in 99% cases - except combat. During combat, things may get ugly really quickly. And they will get ugly if you are an asshole. And - most likely - no one would participate in your diceless / rules-less games anymore.<br /> <br /> This is how I determined the results of combat:<br /> <ul> <li>PCs are stronger than ordinary mortals. They are not ubermenschen but they are significantly stronger, faster, more agile and/or more skilled.</li> <li>Description of the actions means everything. It was the most important factor.</li> <li>Wounds were the most difficult part of the game, as descriptive nature of all damage caused many problems, such as bleeding, broken bones etc. It was extremely gritty but we liked it.</li> <li>As we were gaming in the more or less Sword & Sorcery setting, PCs were healing pretty fast - although there were portions of the game that were fast-forwarded (or <i>railroaded</i>, heh), when all the player characters were so fucked up that players decided to let it go for two or three weeks to let them heal their wounds. Also, even though there were little spellcasters, healing potions and/or healing items were relatively common.</li> </ul> These things caused my players to be pretty skilled in descriptive combat and the overall survivability of their characters was really good, maybe except the fact that we were teenagers and peeps tended to slaughter each other on a daily basis, over slightest argument :D<br /> <br /> Now - if I will be lucky enough to assemble a new group of players - I plan to go back to similar method of running games, except some addidtional features:<br /> <ul> <li>Most likely, <a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/search/label/Diamond%20Diceless" target="_blank">Diamond Diceless</a> will be my weapon of choice, too keep track of the stats and abilities...</li> <li>...but I will use the dice. Solely for the random content - I love random tables! I always add some randomness to the story / module, so I need the dice.</li> <li>I'm also considering to give players something in the shape of Fate Points from WFRP/40K RPGs, to allow them to cheat death - or, in some cases, my decisions.</li> </ul> Of course, I'm not sure if it will work - it all depends on the players. Some people prefer this kind of "storytelling", some prefer dice chucking. We will see (or not!). <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2019/04/one-rule-to-rule-them-all-or-not.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2019/04/one-rule-to-rule-them-all-or-not.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2019-04-30T09:23:00-05:00'>9:23 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2019/04/one-rule-to-rule-them-all-or-not.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 3 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=6882118171639933804&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=6882118171639933804&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=6882118171639933804&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Probably not, as you must click the image to see it.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If you ever used any of my releases, you probably noticed that they are <i>extremely </i>raw in terms of form. Little or no artwork, dry descriptions, very informative tone. To be honest with you, I still suck at English and I don't feel comfortable with procuring any lengthy descriptions. Also - I just like it the way it is. No bullshit, 100% creative content. You don't need to pay extra for pages full of meaningless garbage.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Numero due - there are fuckloads of game systems, rulesets and so on. Even the percentile ones (if you're unaware - the whole "Perilous" family is <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-non-d-retroclone-simulacrum.html" target="_blank">NOT</a> about yet another clone of the Original Game). Even though Perilous Ages was more or less "complete", I do not think it's a complete rulebook. I suck at rulebooks - moreover - and when I managed to assemble the whole BandB game, I was totally drained of the creative energy. For weeks. Even though the feeling of getting job done was absolutely amazing. That's why I dropped the idea of creating another complete rulebook.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What does it mean for you - the potential user of Perilous Frontiers? Most likely nothing. Or even it will make the book better, as sometimes I get tricked by myself and constrained by some (imaginative) barriers or requirements that new release must meet. And - obviously - more constraints mean less fun from the creative process. And I want to have fucking fun from writing new stuff. Having fun is the most important thing that should come from any hobby. Because it's a hobby, not a fucking day job. Even if I work on board games as my day job.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If you're not familiar with the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/186207/Perilous-Ages" target="_blank">Perilous Ages</a>, which will be the basis for the Perilous Frontiers, you can grab it here.

Still working on some shit, although due to the amazing weather it's extremely hard to sit behind the desk and write some stuff. But some changes are coming.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I decided to butcher some of my unfinished projects - namely the <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/search/label/Charon%20Prime">Charon Prime</a> one, Battlestation Omega and other stuff, which became obscure even for me (to be honest, I had to dig through my tag cloud on the blog to even remember some of their names!). They originated from the very old idea, started in 2005. That year I gathered a bunch of my friends and started to create a setting. Unfortunately, there were too many of us and the game stuck in the development hell. It was virtually dead.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I've lost contact with most of the guys involved in the project but the ones I still got in touch with poked me with a "do it" stick from time to time, usually once in two years. But I was sure that for me the <b>whY</b> (that was the name of the game) is deceased for good. But somewhere in 2017 I came to an idea to revive the project and I knew how to do it.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> So, back to the present time. I've restarted the project in March 2018. Since then, not much was done. But the vision is clear and this time I started from the right angle - I'm avoiding dragging too many people into this pit and try to focus on the larger image than over-developing the tiny portions of the setting.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> How will it end? I don't know, as nothing is certain with my ability to focus and create games (or supplements, or anything that isn't a spoon carved from firewood lol).</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Tomorrow (or somewhere in the dark future hahah) I will try to post some more ideas about the game. Wish me luck!</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2018/07/slaughter-of-ideas-stiching-parts-back.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2018/07/slaughter-of-ideas-stiching-parts-back.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2018-07-24T07:44:00-05:00'>7:44 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2018/07/slaughter-of-ideas-stiching-parts-back.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 3 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=7365228810796570184&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=7365228810796570184&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=7365228810796570184&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

However, now I plan to create two versions of the game. First one I want to do is a complete game, compatible with a ruleset already used in the <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2016/06/perilous-ages-out-now.html" target="_blank">Perilous Ages</a>. Second (which I guess will be much more popular), will be of course compatible with most OSRish games / rules systems / whatever.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> You probably wonder why I decided to create a version which most likely will be unpopular, plus will require much more time and effort to complete. The answer is simple - I want to run the game this way. Simple :)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I guess the next question is <i>when </i>- I do not know.

Now I own my third rulebook of this game (previous two were annihillated during the extensive usage, mostly due to poor binding of the book). And after almost nineteen years in the hobby, I think it's my favourite one (sorry CoC...). Here's why.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>1. Evocative artwork.</b> Some role-playing have outstanding images. WFRP hasn't - of course there are lots of amazing pieces of art there but some are just plain disgusting. But still - I'm not sure if there are more games with *that* kind of artwork - sometimes it's enough to look at one image and poof! Whole scenario materializes inside of your head.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>2. Exciting character creation.</b> Lots of side skills, shitty professions, randomly determined character age which has impact on amount of starting skills. It's always fun.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>3. </b>As I mentioned above - <b>fuckloads of (sometimes) shitty professions</b>. It's really amazing when you watch your character's transformation from the rat catcher or apothecary into an actual hero. And - if you are a GM - that facial expression of the player when he rolled up some pretty amazing stats and hit a servant or other (seemingly) useless and un-playable fucker.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>4. Strange monsters.</b> 2nd edition is full of well-organized and rather logically designed monsters, mostly derived from the WFB. What about giant leeches, carnivorous snappers and other strange inventions of the game designers?* AND FIMIR. AND ZOAT. Fuck yeah.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>5. Setting.</b> It's not said that all magic comes from the Chaos. Magic is magic, its background is irrelevant. Emperor is an old and demented guy (and they slay him during The Enemy Within campaign, which I love), World is not ruined. There is no shitty Archaon or other major pawn of the Ruinous Powers. Game world is not 100% based on the Fantasy Battle. AND FIMIR. AND ZOAT.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>6. Adventure books. </b>I played several 2e adventures and I ran more than several 1e adventures. They can't be compared. 2e adventures are just plain retarded, to the point of unplayability without some serious tweaks. And once again - dat artwork :D</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> *) of course I may be wrong, as I'm not an expert of the 2nd edition. In fact, I think it sucks, especially it's setting. Gods, I hate it.</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2016/01/six-reasons-why-i-love-wfrp-1st-edition.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2016/01/six-reasons-why-i-love-wfrp-1st-edition.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-01-25T08:39:00-06:00'>8:39 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2016/01/six-reasons-why-i-love-wfrp-1st-edition.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=4519706214839556779&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=4519706214839556779&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=4519706214839556779&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

And only two in 2015. It was a really hard year for me but well, fuck it. At least I managed to release Volume Three...</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> This year I plan to revive the blog, post more shit about my games (see below), more magic items and more random tables. And about new releases?</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Revenant</b>. I can't promise you that the game will be ready this year. Development process started in 2007 and almost nothing was done since late 2011. But we ran the game with over 30 different players and almost all of them liked the game a lot. So we feel it's our duty to finally polish the mechanics, adjust classes and roles and write the fucking rulebook :D But it will be a big game - probably about 250 A4-sized pages or even more.

Not particularily useful but still - I just love to do it! And maybe they are <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2013/09/important-repost-even-if-youre-not.html" target="_blank">not as useless as I think</a> ;) This time I think about yet another set of rules:</div> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify;">Stat checks as the most important aspect of the game. Stats used as base to hit, to defend (I still think about active defense during the combat - not very old school but reason is simple - my players want it so why not?), maybe even stats used as saving throws - or rather as a <i>base </i>for saving throws;</li> <li style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure if the D&D-derived stats will be used. Maybe I will need more attributes to properly describe characters' abilities (or lack of). Remember lots of strange stats from Encounter Critical? Maybe it was a good idea, especially if stats will remain devoid any description (more ways to interprete things is always good);</li> <li style="text-align: justify;">This means that stat levels need to be increased during the character's level progression. Most likely initial stat levels will be determined randomly and their progression will be determined by character's class;</li> <li>I don't know what about Hit Dice, Hit Points etc. Maybe this system will require total rework of the damage system. Just <i>Save vs. Death</i> sounds really nasty but may actually work... Must check it once I create some basic sketch of the rules;</li> <li>What about the basic dice used for tests? I think I'll stick with d20. It's good, big and round :D</li> </ul> Will it work? I'm not sure. It will require lots of brainstorming but I just love to create such things. And even if not very useful, I will use it. Or die trying :D<br /> <br /> Tell me what do you think about it.

But some friends of mine are getting really annoying now - they want to game and I think it may be a good moment to get back to the hobby...</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What is more important, there is one thing I must tell you. There is one project I never mentioned neither on this blog nor on Geeplus. We (me and my ex-girlfriend, who is a co-author) haven't touched it for years (I guess it was gathering dust since 2010) but the game was almost complete. We never created any coherent rulebook but we have literally hundreds of pages containing virtually every aspect of the game. And lately we came to a conclusion that it may be a good moment to revive the project. We've been playing three long campaigns in it and almost all players were enjoying the game, in terms of both game mechanics and game world.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Of course, as it wasn't my personal work, all things are written in Polish so it will take fuckloads of time to translate it. Also, we want to rewrite some things, probably even everything. And still it's not sure that we will succeed. But we will try.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It won't be an Old School game. It will be pretty modern, both in terms of gameplay model and game mechanics. But probably I'll post something about it here.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> What about other projects? For example, <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/albert-rakowski/towers-of-krshal/ebook/product-20238638.html" target="_blank">Krshal</a>? <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2013/10/underworld-kingdom-volume-two-is-out-now.html" target="_blank">Underworld Kingdom</a>? I have no fucking idea. Once again - can't promise anything. But I guess that one day I'll release some new shit. Or maybe even force myself to release my stuff other than <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/110238/Bandits-and-Battlecruisers" target="_blank">BandB</a> via RPGNow...</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I'm not dead.

Full-time job made me mentally exhausted and focus on WFRP campaign is another reason. Sometimes I think about writing more stuff but it seems that I lost most of my interest in RPGaming. After seventeen years of running various games, I've done something wrong.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> That's the only reason I can imagine - my mistake. Of course there are lots of other things that affected my ability to focus on writing, such as being pissed off by my players, making lots of music and purchase of PlayStation 3. But I still see my lack of writing as solely my fault, as none of these things may be considered as something so serious to make writing impossible. Now I want to change it, mostly because well, I love creating the RPG stuff.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I must admit that I got slightly tired by 0e / retroclones mechanics. Ruleset is too abstract for me and I need to rework some parts of it  - or focus on development of my <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2014/01/introducing-diamond.html" target="_blank">diceless system</a>.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Also, during past several months, I ran countless 1e WFRP games (we are close to the end of the Enemy Within campaign! Yay!) and about three Underworld Kingdom games (if you want, I may try to write some game report). I'm not sure If I participated in any game as a player, maybe aside of one or two games of Star Wars: Edge of Empire but it's not good game. Once again, I'm little tired, this time with seriousness of abovementioned campaigns / games. Even my UK sessions were rather serious. And I need more weird science fantasy. I'd love to participate in some <a href="http://planetalgol.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Planet Algol</a> game (Blair, are you reading this? :D) but I'm afraid that due to serious geographical issues (different hemisphere) I will be forced to run something by myself.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Okay, it's time to some list. As my English is still far from perfect, I still prefer to write stuff in dull, long lists. It's easier to me but probably not so exciting to read (;)).</div> <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>Planet of Ortix will be the place. Maybe even some incarnation of the <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2012/12/worldship-part-two-ortix-worldship.html" target="_blank">Ortix Worldship</a>.</li> <li>As I can't be sure when we will end the Warhammer campaign (or if my players want to participate in the new game :), I will write a new stuff here, as probably none of my players read this blog.</li> <li>I'm tired of rolling dice. There's too much rolls in my current game so either I'll prepare the random contents (such as treasure or randomly generated rooms) before the game session or I will improvise, just selecting the stuff from the list to fit into the game.</li> <li>Enough of underworld. I need some sunlight, night/day cycle and seasons. Underworld Kingdom is cool (mostly because I created it lol) but I miss the surface world.</li> <li>Weird races, this time predefined. Too keep the world stable, I must give up the Thousand Races idea. All of them will probably be of alien origin, plus maybe results of some weird experiments.</li> <li>Little of magic, lots of weird / ancient technology.</li> <li>Also, I guess that some ideas from <a href="http://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2011/03/quick-skim-through-new-vision-of-ortix.html" target="_blank">here</a> will be present in the game, but as for now I see it more like mixing the Mad Max with HPL's Dreamlands while on acid :D</li> <li>Still lots of sandbox, still little or no railroading but I guess that some parts of the game may evolve into "new school" scenario-based gameplay. Still I think that most of it will be improvised.</li> </ul> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>Whew, 599 posts on this blog!

Buy it, I need a bass guitar ;)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Sooo, about the reasons for my inactivity - besides the EVE Online, which is the main reason, I was creating lots of different music (among the others - <a href="http://polymatrix.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Polymatrix</a>, my synthwave project), both as a job and hobby. Also I was playing the Path of Exile but ridiculous difficulty curve refrained me from wasting even more time with this game :D</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Nevertheless, it wasn't completely fruitless period - I think I'll be able to release the Volume Three in about 1-2 months.

When I was working on the magical dusts entry, my girlfriend (who is also a gamer) asked me "why don't you make two random columns, one containing color and one with the effects?"</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Answer to this question is really simple - of course I can make all "colors effects" random, which should make using all stuff without identification more challenging but I decided to allow players (not the PCs) to learn about the world. They should (but we all know that it's not certain!) learn that - in example - black potion should be the potion of invisibility, and the red dust may haste its user (but not always - note the tone differences). I think that's the important part of the campaign world / worlds - to let players to learn about the properties of some more or less mystical / unusual things by themselves, without using abstract things like the identify spells and similar bullshit (which is sometimes good, but - in my opinion - only sometimes).</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Funny thing is that all colors have different effects on different substances (compare tables containing dusts and incense, for instance) so this may lead to some serious (sometimes even lethal) mistakes. But well, no one ever said that the red potion will have similar effect to the red dust / incense / wand / whatever!</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09691712927512834666' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Albert R.</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2013/08/fixed-color-tables.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2013/08/fixed-color-tables.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-08-17T07:19:00-05:00'>7:19 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2013/08/fixed-color-tables.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1211645202'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3113093872437680470&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3113093872437680470&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3113093872437680470&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3113093872437680470&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3113093872437680470&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3425469558765750408&postID=3113093872437680470&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/search/label/colors' rel='tag'>colors</a>, <a href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/search/label/rambling' rel='tag'>rambling</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/search/label/rambling?updated-max=2013-08-17T07:19:00-05:00&max-results=20&start=20&by-date=false' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='blog-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class='column-left-outer'> <div class='column-left-inner'> <aside> </aside> </div> </div> <div class='column-right-outer'> <div class='column-right-inner'> <aside> <div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar-right-1'><div class='widget HTML' data-version='1' id='HTML1'> <div class='widget-content'> <a href="https://www.artstation.com/painiseternal"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/06GB7xQ.png" /></a><br /> </div> <div class='clear'></div> </div><div class='widget Text' data-version='1' id='Text1'> <h2 class='title'>BEHOLD!</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <div><a href="https://worldofortix.blogspot.com/2025/01/ridiculous-random-results.html">GOBLIN FECES?
