#AdventureApril

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!

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!

May the Fadelight illuminate your travels, friends!
