Just Saw Dune2

 It was interesting how entertained I was by Dune 2, because I found Dune 1 increasingly annoying as it departed from the book.  But Dune 2 had a story to tell and told it.  I recommend it, but of course if you haven't read the novel Dune get a copy.

Benehospitaler

 Working on another celestial, the healing Benehospitaler.  I'm using Pathbuilder to flesh out the numbers as I devise 7 ranks of each servitor, matching the Summon Celestial spell.

I'm going to do two fey servitors and two fiend servitors, then publish them in a new book.

Ghazilu

 The Legio Caelum are shaping up to the unorganized Ghazilu, a winged celestial servitor class symbolic of divine wrath.  I'm going to have six sets of servitors, two celestials, two fiends, and two fey, with seven ranks in each set to match the summon spell appropriate to that set.

I'm finishing the seven ranks of Ghazilu right now.

Eventually this will be sold as Celestials & Fiends & Fey.

It helps when I get stuck to pretend there are no wrong answers, just imagination.

Nice Work If You Can Get It

 The Kushta continental setting will have 24 realms, 8 independent dwarven citadels, 26 pantheons and 24 playable ancestries.

I'm looking at years of work filling this in.

Time to Learn Cartography

 My inkarnate.com subscription is up for renewal.  Haven't played with it enough.  I want a continent about the size of the USSR with 24 realms and 8 dwarf citadels.  Considering the price of art and maps I'm better off teaching myself...

Legio Caelum and Choir Sinister coming soon

Have decided the next project will be another in the Kushta Pantheon series.  A heavenly host of empyrean servitors under an Angelus Imperator, and homemade demons under a demigod demon. 

Go Offroad

 This year I turn 50 and reflect upon my indulgence in the hobby of roleplaying gaming, and I feel pretty good about it.   I don't just act out a role, I'm making homebrew content and selling it, and could do more if real life would calm down.

One of the things I reflect on is GMing loosely, and I'm getting fonder of it.  I'm not a kid or a college student, and the people I play with tend to be busier than ever now.  In the New Economy we often have to take on odd hour jobs to make ends meet, and it's just more increasingly true that we're less and less likely to complete a two-year campaign together. 

So...go for a rich experience!  Allow that homebrewed quirk, that special piece of equipment, that extra proficiency that isn't strictly by the book.  Be open that you're deviating from convention play, they can't take their character sheet to a Hall and fit in, but how often does that happen, really? 

Above all allow published third-party content like what I sell on DriveThruRPG.com as CougarShadow Press LLC.  Bend it.   Play with it.  Make it fit your vision, but allow a unique and stylish roleplaying experience at your table.  You'll have fun with it.
