Yesterday I talked about my plans for designing a game and what system I would be using etc. One thing I mentioned is that there would be two settings, a fantasy themed one and a sci-fi themed one. In the fantasy themed gamed, named Easthalen, there would be a parallel twin technological themed world, it wouldn’t be sci-fi, more science fantasy (if that term makes sense), with an as yet unnamed sci-fi game (USG) being closer to what most people would consider being a true science fiction genre.

These two games are separate but semi-linked. I say “semi-linked” because there is some overlap between them and the two do share a history of sorts, even if that history is mangled and twisted and not apparent at first glance...

Long time followers of the blog and myself will be vaguely familiar with Easthalen. It is the nominal game world I use to home all the Chunks series and other items, spells etc. It’s something I have been tinkering with on and off for a few years. The older blogs will give some insight it to what has gone before and my direction etc.  I feel that I am ready mentally to finally start transforming it from rough notes and ideas in my head to something much more tangible. Now, it’s time to get comfy, because this is going to be a long one (Those inclined may now giggle)

The basic concept behind Easthalen is as follows:

The World Barrier was constructed almost 1500 ago to contain a mad god, Halen, to prevent him from undoing existence...

Testing a flag-maker program – a few of the results can be found below. Let me know what you think.

I *did* plan on having a new feature regarding maps and images start today but I can’t get the software to work as I want it to, or I am doing something wrong.

It was going to be an updated version of my older map tiles, such as in the example below when I would be adding several new titles a month. But as mentioned, this plan is being put n the back burner for now. This was going to be expanded into a sci-fi modern version and other genres as time allowed, with tomorrow being the first starship “dungeon” tile etc.

Not sure what I’ll be posting tomorrow as of this moment, but I’ll try and find something.

Quick Generator – Political Ideology

Sometimes you don’t need an insane amount of tables and charts. You may just need something quick and simple to help flesh out basic details without going overboard on the details. This is where the Quick Generator is helpful, providing you with a simple one-sentence description of a particular subject.

This particular Quick Generator gives you a Political Ideology, a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution, class or large group that explains how society should work.

Features –
2 x d100 tables that can combine for 10,000+ possible combinations

You could end up with ideologies such as…

Centralised Capitalist
Nonaligned Nonconformist
Independent Reformed Republican
Conservative Fundamental Monarchist
