brb gonna go sit in a tree and look at the sky until the wind blows this sleepy fog from my mind.

High key love everything about 'humans are space orcs' posts because they are celebrations of human-ness and I really think that's special

hi hello STS for you! what can you tell me about your vibey fantasy wip? (the vibes sound *excellent* honestly) are we just roadtripping about it or do they have a Quest going on?

Thanks for asking!

Yes, so I'm thinking it'll be a fairly episodic story with them taking various shepherd type jobs transporting heards of stock across long distances. This'll be cows, sheep, maybe horses or deer ect that you'd find around the globe. But I'm planning to play around with slightly magical or fantasy versions as well.

Think deer with antlers that grow valuable plants and are a sought after material when they naturally shed each year, or your more typical Pegasus.

The vibes I'm going for are high fantasy with a focus on exploring the world and its natural wonder rather than having to save it from some great catastrophe or do war. If that makes sense.

I'm more of a character driven person when it comes to writing, so I've given myself Reya Teran (26f) and her friend/younger brother figure Syon Klau (21m) to explore the world through. Neither of them have a home by this point, and both are fairly happy wandering from place to place so long as they get a bit of adventure along the way. They'll both probably also have some type of powers.

But yeah, it's mostly characters taking once off remote cattle driving jobs with whoever needs some extra hands, visiting small towns, and exploring the land.

I'm having fun with the worldbuilding and plan to play around with the common language being similar to our sign language, with dialect or accent differences depending on your occupation. For example, busy shops in the main parts of town have rapid and small movements to keep up with the noise and pace of their work, while the faming jobs in large open plains or in high wind/bad weather have big clear motions to be understood when shouting is tiresome or can't be heard.

That's most of what I have at the moment, but it's been a heap of fun to brainstorm and worldbuild for even though I haven't worked on it much or had it in mind for very long!

no idea what yore talking about but you seem pretty tortured by it. smashin that like button ♥️

This looks like an awesome way to lay everything out and see how it all overlaps! I may need to try this

so I've like finished one of the presents (not typed it up yet) and the other is - I've got three weeks today to finish it by and I've got it started! I have done some! I just need to check some notes and work out a few things that I couldn't do at work because I didn't have the files

(I did) (I just didn't read down far enough)

so now I'm back home and rather than getting straight to playing DA:I like I have been for the past week I was gonna write but uh

yeah anyway I'm working out the dnd shenans timeline with post-it notes on the floor and there is one hell of a draught down here. Wild.

Started a new job and probably gonna be MIA for a couple Storyteller Saturdays, but THANKS to the two people who sent some! I promise I'll send a few back when I have the brainspace to answer, ask and read them again :)
