Project Update: From the Book Mines 11: This Hollow House, These Finished Chapters

Patience-gilt goldenagers,

Welcome to autumn-by-the-calendar (though a merciless sun yet bakes my greenhouse town).

Took a bit longer than I hoped (as it goes) but the Hollow House adventure skeleton is now done. Cocreate regions, settlements, estates and houses with your players. Including strange administrative mishaps, carousing, special rooms, troubles, problems, housetime (downtime) actions, an ornate wimmelbild style minimap, diagrams for drawing your own regions, settlements, estates, and houses, and more. A very hefty 34 pages.

Postcard from a living Green Land settlement.


This chapter was truly hard to finish. It meant crystalizing and setting down a series of notes, mechanics, rules, and ideas that I had been putting off putting together for years. There always seemed to be something that needed to take precedence, and by the end I was just a little nervous of getting it all together since ... well ... what if it didn't look good?

Fortunately, though it embraces the forces of baroque chaos, I think this adventure skeleton provides enough for creating a very personal, very humorous, and occasionally dark and scary, home base for your players.

yeah, all these diagrams are going to be in the adventuring journal ... and as a separate PDF for your productive and xeroxive needs.


Being worried about my wrist at the same time, well, that just added to the fun. Fortunately that all seems to be ... unfolding ok. I use a support if I need to do heavy lifting, but for daily tasks my wrist's good to go. I'll get more therapy if the pain ramps up, but so long as I'm careful should be fine.

Next Few Weeks

Time to revise the layout of the remaining lands. I'll post an update as each of those is done. With these two chapters + the Yellow and Green lands we've got ~100+ pages of OGA laid out. After those couple of colors, we'll be at ~180.

From there, between the appendix and the Omega Jubilee, we'll be at the end of the books!

I'm keen to get there asap! Phew!

Wait ... there was more news.

This following section is OGA adjacent, but I thought you might enjoy it.

News of Interest: SDM Foundry VTT + Github Markdown + French UVG

Hey, you've seen this piece already, but now its doing double duty.


1) The good Luber is adapting the Synthetic Dream Machine for Foundry VTT: https://foundryvtt.com/packages/sdm . Caravans, trade, items, all the stuff from UVG and VLG.

2) The good Joshua Fontany is creating a hyperlinked markdown repository of the Synthetic Dream Machine system and tables on Github:
https://github.com/joshuafontany/Synthetic-Dream-Machine/blob/main/Our_Golden_Age_Preview/SDM-Our_Golden_Age-Teaser_31_Going_Places_1-6.md . VLG and OGA for now, I expect UVG coming sooner or later, too.

3) The French translation of UVG is coming out soon: https://odonata-editions.fr/ultraviolet-grassland-uvg/ - Alors, 's voyjeänts vont vers le Sît Ner' ôssé.

OK! Well. That's nice.

Right, farewell again and new updates soon!
