So, someone pointed out to me that I forgot about Heaminster. D'ooohh...
If any of you are wondering, yes, I am this shitty of a DM in real life, too, LOL
I'll open Heaminster up tonight. It'll probably only have one temple slot, so it's first come, first serve.
I'll get my shit together tomorrow, I SWEAR (probably not).
2019-02-26 16:24:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Great work on posting actions last night. Believe it or not--as of this writing--there is only one more god that hasn't yet posted his/her actions for the day.
Before I post the results tonight, I will say this: there are two gods who ended up missing out on temple placement because the settlement was too crowded to move into by the time they declared their action. Normally, that would mean they totally lose the action for the day (hardcore, I know, but that's how t...

Of course, feel free to set up Discord channels, etc. to manage things on your own. :)

2019-02-26 15:17:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
When updating the log this morning, I noticed that I made a mistake: Eltun should have 3 available temple spots instead of 1.
Edit: looks like I screwed up in Gorkil, too. It should've had 1. So instead of bumping its temple levels, I adjusted its population accordingly. For those settling Gorkil, you might want to check it out.
Edit Again: Gah... one more f-up. Looks like Olyggthorp was also supposed to be slightly bigger. So I bumped up it...
2019-02-26 14:31:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey quick poll for everyone. What time should the CTAs be? I'd like to make them as flexible as possible--and last night's was probably the biggest due to everyone rushing to get temples--but I also know that 12am can be kinda lot for some people.
This is a quick poll, ending at 5:00pm tonight. One vote!
2019-02-26 13:56:51 +0000 UTC View PostDeclare your actions in the comments below.
The rules are posted again for your convenience:
Gods of Wandrossa God Rules Revamped
Real quick before the game starts, here are the two regional maps.
All right everyone. The cut off time for putting in Gods for tomorrow's actions has just hit. People can still join, but they will have to wait until tomorrow night/Wednesday morning to put in their actions. Snooze... lose.
Here is what's going to happen this evening:
1. At 12:01am CST (US Central) I'm going to post the Daily Action Log.
2. You will post your action on the Daily Action Log in the comments section. The actions available to you are as follows:...
2019-02-26 03:48:58 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! If you're getting on the action, last call is in two hours.
Again, I'm super stoked about this. Such a diverse group of deities that we have here. Already, I can see some common connections and can tell that cliques are starting to form.
There's a pretty balance between all the alignments, too. Once everyone's locked in, I'm probably going to organize the data a bit more.
In addition, our first bit of swag will be out soon which I will announce tomorrow.<...
2019-02-26 01:03:29 +0000 UTC View PostAwesome work everyone on getting in your Gods information so far. It's all so damn perfect and cool and weird and exciting.
I've compiled everything there is so far in a spreadsheet that all of you can view. I'll clean it up and make it pretty, but at the very least you can see where everything else is.
Let me know if I made any mistakes, too!
Awesome news, folks, but I decided since the last poll was so close, that BOTH Blackheart and Alligator Loch will open up once we hit 175 Patrons. This should give the Gods of Wandrossa plenty of room to move about.
Now that we know this, it's simple a matter to determining what's going on with these locations.
Alligator Loch, if you weren't aware, is the region to the southeast of Wicked Maple Grove. Its named such thanks to the th...
2019-02-25 17:00:44 +0000 UTC View PostThis is it, folks! The beginning of Gods of Wandrossa. This post will serve as the start of the game, introducing the Beta rules. Tonight, everyone will create their god personas. Tuesday actions declarations start at 12:01am CST (US Central time).
Here are the basic rules mapped out. You don't have to be an expert at them, yet, but at least understand the basics of the game.
2019-02-25 04:15:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Good news: I've got the god class revamped and I must say I like this iteration way better than the last. It allows for a lot of customization--especially when it comes to the power selection--that lets you create the god of your choosing.
Here is the link to the revamped rules: https://dmdave.com/gods-of-wandrossa-revamped/
Let me know what you think!
Pretty excited to hit 150 tonight! That means it's time to set up a new region for the Gods of Wandrossa to spread into.
Here's the new map:
Choose one of the areas on the map. That will be our next destination.
One vote per patron. Ends in 24 hours!

I forgot to post this in the survey, but here is Tamor in all its glory, created using https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
I look forward to learning more about this mysterious town.
2019-02-24 05:07:48 +0000 UTC View PostTo the south at the cusp of the Eternal Shadow sits the unusual town of Tamor. One of the seven stars of the Blackleaf Confederacy, Tamor is home a curiously high number of sorcerers, hence its eyebrow-raising honorific prefix. Like many of the city-states, Tamor keeps to itself. Mostly, because it's busy warding off the periodic attack from the Mad Solar, Temlakos.
As before, I'll refer to the DMG to come up with random facts about Tamor:
Race Relations: 16 - The...

We did it, folks! You've unlocked the next section of the map, right in time for the Gods of Wandrossa game, too.
There are 3 major settlements in the Drakecrag region: the Sorcerous Town of Tamor, Gorkil the Goblinhold, and Camp Wabuhr. Tamor is the largest town of the bunch, with a population of a few thousand.
Creestone was once a prosperous village, but was destroyed by the Mad Solar Temlakos after he fell to Wandrossa.
Over the next few weeks, we'll flesh out these regi...

Goblins. Say what you want about the scruffy bastards, but they're tenacious. Having survived all eight previous incarnations of Enombath, the three major goblinoid races--gobbos, bugs, and hobs--are more numerous than ever. A bit like cockroaches aren't they?
Gorkil is a major goblinoid habitat south of the Bog of Hingwell and just up the road from Tamor. They might stink, but overall, they're a civilized lot, capable traders, and somehow protected from the throe...
2019-02-23 18:55:43 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, one big poll for this weekend (it's an important one).
I've got today and tomorrow off from any sort of honey-do, work-related stuff, etc. Nowhere to be other than my Saturday D&D campaign. Having said that, I need to get caught up on requests. I've got a few big ones that I really need to jump on (they're all fun stuff, too, so it's not like it's work for me LOL) and those tend to be priority #1.
However! I also want to make sure that Gods of Wandrossa starts on Monday ...
2019-02-23 16:08:27 +0000 UTC View PostRight now, I'm putting together the rest of the gods. The game, admittedly, will start a little "rough", which is fine since that's the quickest and easiest way to playtest and hammer out the kinks.
I thought I might toss out a poll to see what gods you want to play.
And then I'm interested in finding out what powers you want.

Another location revealed: Temlakos' Crater. This massive blight on the land is only 25 miles to the north of Tamor.
When the solar fell to Wandrossa, he left quite the impact--literally. The tremors were felt throughout the entirety of the Blackleaf Forest. Of course, the crater was just the start of the troubles. Temlakos, driven mad from his fall and subsequent disconnection from Enombath, marched east towards Creestone, initiating what would soon co...

As promised, new locations are opening up as new patrons roll in.
First up is the Bog of Hingwell, a massive swamp on the eastern fringe (roughly 50 miles from Tamor) of the Drakecrag Region. It's... not a happy place.
There, along the foul waters of Hingwell Tarn is the accursed Altar of Tragedy.
Three more locations to open up before The Drakecrag Region joins the game.
2019-02-22 22:59:57 +0000 UTC View Post
Already, we've caught a peak at the Sorcerous Town of Tamor and its guardian sorcerers. But what other secrets lie within the region to the west of the Drakecrags?
With each new patron I'll reveal another piece of the puzzle. Hopefully with the current Gleam contest going on, I can add a few more.
Maybe we'll get a head start on the Drakecrags later today with a poll. Or maybe some monster ideas? Guess we'll see!
2019-02-22 14:16:54 +0000 UTC View PostOnce, there was a race of people that lived in Wandrossa known as "apefolk." They are a product of the Void, a world that exists seperate of the one that Gods build. Voidkind are usually different, wild, and uncontrollable.
What else do we know about them? So far nothing!
Apefolk will appear in the upcoming Kickstarter book as part of the Wandrossa setting in addition to all your requests.
What do you think the apefolk should be like? I've picked out a few options belo...
2019-02-22 14:02:19 +0000 UTC View PostIf you all haven't seen yet, I'm doing a Kickstarter book in April. It's going to be 100% requests. However, I'm going to work to make it also fit into Wandrossa as sort of the "history of Wandrossa" project.
Already some AWESOME requests have started coming in for it from those outside of Patreon, and of course, from you all.
But I just have one problem: I'm not sure what to name it.
What ideas do you guys have for a name for this book? Let me know in the comments bel...

Well, I didn't want to wait for the poll to finish LOL, but it looks like everyone is interested in a physical book, so shit... why not? Haha
I'm kicking things off with a Gleam contest to drive requests and win a free copy of the book.
Since all of you are already patrons, I'm going to give you FIRST DIBS at requests. Basically, whatever your current request tier is, you get to do it AGAIN. And I'll add it to the pile of requests for the book.

If you aren't familiar with how Gleam works, it's a social sharing platform that awards those who get friends to sign up to a mailing list/social media, etc. I know a lot of you already have brought on some friends, but this will give you an opportunity to do it in a little more "official capacity."
Having said that, what sort of prizes should I offer up for those who really knock it out of the park?

In addition to the monsters, it will include FIVE new subclasses, too, two of which have yet to appear here on the blog exclusive to this release.
