Hey beautiful people.
Today I went out and bought some modelling supplies for the first time.
I’m planning to recreate the battlemap from the one-shot adventure I submitted for #AdventureApril in physical form.
I have no idea how it’s going to turn out, but I’ll keep you posted.
Cheers!

Hello beautiful people!
Long time, no see.
Do you remember my last update about the one-shot I ran? Well, you can imagine my excitement when I came across #AdventureApril
It was exactly the push I needed to finally publish my first adventure module on World Anvil.
I sat down to write and immediately drew a blank. Which was surprising, since the idea was already there. I had my notes, I had playtested a prototype, but turning all of that into something another GM can pick up and run is a very different challenge. Explaining the setting, structuring the flow, even creating a proper battlemap... it was a lot more demanding than I expected.
But I did it. It’s finally done.
I hope you enjoy The Bittersweet Milk of Victory, and I’d really appreciate any feedback, whether it’s on style, structure, or mechanics.
Cheers!

I’m really happy and excited to finally have my first adventure in Crux Umbra ready and published!
That Day Which Would Not End is a system-agnostic, standalone adventure built around a failed ritual, a repeating day, difficult choices and heavy consequences.
Adventure April turned out to be a huge inspiration for me. It’s a longer read, but if you get the chance to check it out, I truly appreciate it and I’d love to hear any feedback you might have :)
If time allows, I want to also add a map before the end of the month and submit it to Tillerz’s Adventure MAPril unofficial challenge. If you haven't checked this challenge out yet btw, go for it!
That's all from me, stay inspired and creative everyone!

Made the map for headquarters! #AdvMAPril2026, #UnofficialChallenge.
(I am yet to actually make a wide shot so the default image will have to do)

Hello everyone!
I’m currently working on an German translation of the Greyhawk campaign, focusing on Verbobonc, Hommlet, and The Temple of Elemental Evil.
The original work was created by 3Orcs, so please make sure to check out and support his work as well — this project wouldn’t exist without him!
My goal is to make this classic setting more accessible to the community while staying faithful to the original material. If you enjoy Greyhawk lore or are planning a campaign in this region, I hope this translation will be useful to you.
Questions, feedback, or suggestions are always welcome, so feel free to reach out anytime.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy worldbuilding!

and We (ChaosSunn & I ) are very happy to see the growth in readers and appreciate each and everyone of you sticking with us! I know there was a lull in chapters as of late, but I’m happy to say that I have come with this evening!
I did take a mini mental health break, just to get my life together, and now I’m full of creativity. So, prepare for more chapters coming down the line. Thank you all for your continued support and we’ll see you on Saturday!!
Chapter 6 Synopsis: As the City of Chakram prepares for the upcoming Holiday Season, Commander Nyxis is invited to the Fall Banquet, but is conflicted due to her past. She and Bast travel to the Valkyrie Fields to attend the Reindeer Games, but something is stomping around the forest near the City of Valkyrie; and it’s not very friendly.

Hi,

Apart from that: I made the Shadowdark character sheet translatable, it is now available in english and hungarian. If you are interested in having an existing sheet in a different language, contact me, maybe I can help you.
Also remember that my unofficial challenge Adventure MAPril is running!
Happy quacking,

Another Page and Ideas
When I first started this section of my world, I thought it would go unused for quite some time. My inspirations have proved that thought wrong, and it is one of the few sections I've been writing for recently. It is a shame I could only submit one short story to the #AdventureApril challenge, but I don't mind too much. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy this entry to Death's Compendium on Temporal Affairs!
I do have one other thing in the works currently (something that isn't just an abstract idea), but I'll hold those cards close, for now at least ((I lied, its an article that will detail my setting's modern-day pantheon, but don't tell anybody I told you)). As always everyone, stay safe out there, and have a good one!
May the Fadelight illuminate your travels, friends.
Sharing my own entry for #AdventureApril 2024, and looking forward to reading the others. Welcome to Everny, all!
Almost late?
Come Join me as we walk through a ruin. Strange voices, shadows that lurk around the corners. Mysterious lost civilizations and the gods they worshipped. Are they still here, or are you imagining it?
State of the Manifold - April 2024 (Adventure April Edition)
The big thing going on this month is #AdventureApril, and, while my initial plans to post an adventure module fell through, I did still participate by submitting a prose article. The short story Derelict Over Sapfran is a snippet of a larger science fiction story that I’ve been procrastinating on for years now. Though it comes fairly late in the timeline, Derelict introduces a character, location, and plot point which will have a strong influence on the events of the third act. Check it out and let me know what you think:
I started April with some significant updates to one of the most important articles in the Manifold Sky setting - that is to say, the article for the Manifold itself. I’ve decided that, whenever I can’t find the inspiration to generate a new article in that setting, I should go back and revisit old articles and see where they need some touch-up; as the Manifold Sky was one of my first worlds on WA, there were often issues with formatting and not using the site’s features to good effect. You can see the new version of this article here:
In other news, most of my new creative output this month has been in my worlds other than the Manifold Sky. For whatever reason, inspiration has been coming to me more from either side of the fantasy/science fiction divide rather than directly atop it as would be required for writing about the Manifold. The articles stemming from the hex mage article in my New Generica world look to be developing into a new magic system for that setting - nearly a ‘splat book’ unto itself, if you remember what those releases for D&D 3.5 were like - though it was ostensibly originally designed to work with the BCGR roleplaying system rather than D&D. Other than that, I also worked on some supporting articles for the Sealed Kingdoms setting, as that’s where my Adventure April article comes from. Here’s a few examples of what I’ve been cooking up recently:
Anyways, that’s all for now. I hope you're all doing well in your own Adventure April efforts, and I'm looking forward to exploring what the community cooked up going forward into May.
Regards, BCGR_Wurth
Delving into the Frostcrest Caverns - My Entry
A short story from a yet-unexplored land!
In this month's spirit of adventure (and short story-writing), I've released a story for subscribers to read!
However, I can't go 100% public with the story because I'm waiting to see whether it get accepted for a magazine submission. For the time being, I've made it available to subscribers only, **but** anyone can subscribe to my world for free. You should have the option to subscribe if you click through to the story, or you can find the subscribe button on my world's homepage.
This piece is certainly a change of pace from what I've been writing, but often, different settings warrant such a change of pace, don't they? I hope y'all enjoy it regardless! Happy building and happy writing!
