I believe that the book on the Elven pantheon is ready for artwork, then publication.
My work on Celestials, Fiends and Fey is ready for more effort. I've done the Celestials in my opinion.
Will put up a new video today in the CougarShadow Press LLC channel regarding my first work, 84 Rituals of Ancient Kushta.
I am working on building a wider online audience so that I can eventually run Kickstarters for the few hundreds of dollars needed for quality artwork.
I've had one brief encounter with the gritty dark, a cleric who insisted that his god didn't bar torture, and proceeding to describe how graphically he'd torture a captured prisoner.
I gave him a one on one saying our table wouldn't allow it, and our host storeowner didn't want it there either. Fortunately he dropped it.
I think keeping to the straight and narrow is part and parcel of having a modern hobby audience. You never know what people have gone through, and its a serious turnoff to enough people to be fatal to the attempt to recruit and keep gamers at your table.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
