on contemplating more Lindwyrm,"domain rules" and other such things

[taichara]

Lol I planned to make at least four posts on here this month if not more, and that sure as hell didn't happen; mostly because the month happened, because lo! the world continues to be on fucking fire. I do have some spells written longhand, but we'll see when they get typed up (I refuse to panic about it).

This isn't about that -- it's about the prickling tingling notion of making another little Lindwyrm minizine.

Truth be told, I've also had an earlier notion (of a wee tiny planar thing, small enough to fit in that minizine), but this one is specifically of an expansion of "domain rules" things. Where "domain rules" is actually including not really domain stuff like other longer-range or 'downtime' endeavours like trade, and also upkeep, and events, maaaaybe something more on hirelings/followers, and etc.

Now, the traitor brainweasels are in full stompy mode with the argument of basically the following:

- what useful anything can possibly be shoved into 16 (actually 14) 1/8 pages on any one of these subjects, let alone several
- why do this when there's in-depth and detailed zines and books and blogposts on the subject already

To which, frankly, my answers are

- because I fucking want to
- because I squinched down dungeon suggestions and factions in "core" Lindwyrm so why the fuck not
- because simple rules-light takes on the ideas sure can't hurt
- because having the scaffolding available for Lindwyrm is fun and even useful
- because I fucking want to that's why.

Similar with the teeny tiny planar idea, which will not be the one sprawled across the blog (though I'll likely use ringwalking because I quite like it). Might even eye my spacehack to strip down someday. but my critters, my dozens of beloved critters ...

But, yeah. Maybe another Lindwyrm mini in the futurish, pending successful brainstorming and the like.

Because I fucking want to.


Also some more classes some time, and maybe even some new class modifiers, because I want to. Or thumbnail settings. Or both. Who knows!


All of which is a bunch of words (hey, I'm also breaking in a new keyboard lol) to reiterate (mostly to myself) yet again that

it is not only fine but Good, Actually to make things just for wanting to be making them.


It's not a competition here. No matter how much some voices, deliberately or (faaaaar more often) unconsciously, pressed and press otherwise.


Now I get to think the thoughts on just what I want to do and how it might work lololololololol distraction time over --
