Naming Conventions among the Ninuanni

Hi all!

It's been a hot minute since I dropped a whole unpublished book on y'all, and the last really cool one will actually be published soon, so I figured it might be time for a new one! This is a book I started poking at again last night before realizing that it was going to take me a long time to get it out there what with Nobilis coming up to eat all my attention.

The actual released book will probably have other stuff, too, and less of the direct overlap with Appendix A of G...

"The Far Roofs" RPG: Coming Soon!

cover by Isip Xin

Hi everyone! I just remembered that not everyone follows my tumblr, so I wanted to be sure and mention here that the Far Roofs is slated to kickstart March 3rd!

You'll find the pre-launch page where you can sign up for a notification at https://www...

Nobilis Quest Sets #3 and #4!

I've put together a couple more rough quest sets for Nobilis 4. You can find the development log for them at:

Another Quest Set for Nobilis 4!

You can find the description of how I got there and why it took a month on

It's rough, but I'm happy with it so far. ^_^

A Quest Set for Nobilis 4!

My to-do list for Nobilis is currently:

1. do four quest sets

2. do example quests

3. do the quests chapter (mostly ported from Glitch)

4. do the arcs chapter (like in Glitch, so very small)

5. do the setting stuff (mostly written, actually, but I left a lot of blanks for when everything else was done)

6. do the example of play

7. do the example campaign page/chapter

8. do the intro stuff (as per setting)

9. intro fiction...

The Night-Bird's Feather

This is mostly just a note that there was a very very late-night post last night with some cool stuff about the Night-Bird's Feather, including 

• a video, and 
• a way people might be able to get early access to Nobilis 4,

so I wanted to make sure people didn't miss it just because I spent so long working on the video that it wound up posting at like 4am or whatever! ^_^

...

That's it for now! I'll stop bugging patrons about this now since i...

Night-Bird's Feather Preview

Hi all! I wanted to share a preview video for my novel, "The Night-Bird's Feather," which is currently available for preorder on Amazon!

You can see it at:

Nobilis 3rd Edition Rerelease

It's not quite there, but I thought I'd share the art I'd put together for it. (Not counting two pieces I kept from the original book, one unchanged and one that the artist touched up.)

Proposed Apocynum Press License

This is a near-final version of what I'm thinking about for the Apocynum Press license.

At the moment, the only things I plan to change before release are:

* adding any new resources that I've uploaded by that time;
* updating the date;
* signing, so that it's valid; and
* adding a specific subpage to the proposed hosting location for the license on ninuan.org.

That said, if you have questions, or spot any errors, or anything, that'd be great!

I don't...

Apocynum Press Stuff

I've put together some notes on the process of building gamebooks for Apocynum Press, and I figured y'all might enjoy it too. It's pretty eclectic but there we are.

I may wind up releasing this publicly in the future, and it's already up at the Apocynum Press repository, but for now it's here!

Far Roofs Playtest

I've decided to open up the playtest of the Far Roofs to patreon subscribers and their gaming groups. Please feel free to read and play if you are or might be interested.

Best wishes,

Jenna

Stuff!

Soma Village

This is another bit of old content that I wanted to make sure was available to Apocynum Press writers, and that means that Patreon sponsors get a look at it too! ^_^

Celestia and a Brief History of Town

Hi all! I've updated these a bit from my very, very old notes for use by Apocynum Press writers, and I'm sharing them with y'all as well! 

I think Dedicated Friends from the Chuubo's kickstarter saw most of this back then (though I've done some light updating) so I'll try to get some new content out tomorrow too. ^_^

IOSHI (Part 17)

Surprise!

I forgot why this section was tricky, but I remembered that it was tricky, so I've been nervous about coming back to it. This month, though, I was doing Patreon stuff early enough that if I had hit a wall I could have recovered, so you get the continuation at last!

The Book of Golden Hours (Rough)

Hi all!

So here's the deal! It's been a rough couple of weeks.

But!

I will ultimately be sharing the rough version of the Book of Golden Hours with people doing Apocynum Press content. There's no real way to put a solid lock on access there, not unless I want to insist that every project go through me before it's even coalesced, so I have decided to accept that I will effectively be putting this somewhat rough content, y'know, out there.

... and, rather than f...

Apocynum Press

I’m planning to start a program to make fan-created content publishable on DriveThruRPG:

Apocynum Press.

It  will probably be mid-year at least. I need to finish putting together templates and tools for people to use, and apparently I’m more afraid of  social awkwardness than delays because I want to talk to DriveThruRPG  about how to set up a Storytell...
