Year 2025 has arrived

Year 2024 statistics shows all time record of forecastings – whoppingly over 8k!. Probably has something to do with the Greyhawk content to be released in the Gamemaster book, see link.

For you, I did some fixing and layout changes. PHP has changed in ten years, so some maintenance was needed.

Purpleworm’s last Gourmee

What happens when a 7 to 8 feet wide, and 50 to 60 feet long, rock eating, purple worn swallows a halfling warlock? One who had made a pact with the Great Old One. Of course, he is lazerated to pieces and then given an acid bath in the belly of the beast. Death should be a relief, deep down in the Southkrypt.

The Great Old One disagrees – a pact is a pact! When the previous form is in ruin, an older form surfaces. Lemmy’s heritage of being a dragonborn is revealed in magical explosion. And the One who is seeking, is getting closer!

the Fellowship of Vertical MayhemThe worm? Head and tail in opposite directions, and stairway chamber covered in purplish mash of gore, with bits and pieces of worm pulp. Yammy!

Bookgasm

This summer vacation is nearly over, and what a great holiday it has been. I have had leasure time on home, been on summer cottage on Eastern Finland, swam repeatedly on Finnish fresh water lake, been on Doghill with children, and tomorrow leaving to a history filled bus tourney into Åland. It has been years, when I was there last time. However, the best thing has been the time spent reading my evergrowing piled stash of books.

On Monday the pile went even higher as more books arrived. One for Rogue Trader for planetary world building, the new Star Wars new Core book and it’s Game Master’s kit. And not forgetting the almost complete set of ElfQuest comics on a flea market, costing only 5 euros!

Premium Magic Item Compendium 3.5The first on the pile is Premium Magic Item Compendium book for D&D 3.5, and oh my what goodness it contains! It is a must have for games where you don’t want to use the Complete XXX series, or any other books full of overpowered prestige classes, and just stick to the Vanilla 3.5 Dungeons & Dragons, which I prefer.

So much goodness to read and use. And when the August arrives, the long waited Numenera stuff starts rolling in based on people’s kickstarter pledge. I am waiting my dead wood copy, and while doing that anyone can pledge on this new Kickstarter project for Numenera. Many bookgasms coming, I see in the future…

Weather Forecasting with mountain altitudes and warm/cold sea currents

Fast updates seem to be the norm on this summer vacation! Thanks, kids being so old and not requiring my attention all the time. So, the Greyhawk weather forecaster has been updated from 1.3.0 -> 1.5.0.

  • This time Mountain elevations can be defined by the user, from the years old default of 3000 feet. This was actual request by a user!
  • The missing sea and seacoast warm/cold current distinction to the forecast is no longer overlooked.
  • Showing the latitude map of Flanaess got uplifted into this century.
  • Relocated the Average temperature column between high and low columns.
  • Changed Heavy Fog -> Thick Fog, and Light Fog -> Thin Fog, being more descriptive.
