The basic integration of Chapter 3, “Of Species and Races,” is complete.
It describes the main sapient species and races of Meleram. It accomplishes this by describing them and listing part of their lore, behavior, and features in a table of traits (see the screenshot below).
Each description of these traits is not only useful for gaming purposes, but is also a small module of information that adds substance to the history of the people concerned without necessarily overloading the game master with pages of needless details. In addition, each entry in each trait table begins with a series of numbers in square brackets (e.g., [20-25]), which correspond to the results of rolling 1D100 and can therefore be used as a random table to (among other things:
- Choose a trait if you are using it during the creation of a PC or NPC.
- To choose a trait during an adventure to influence a scene or event related to a particular people.
- To determine a type of action or reaction from a NPC, or a group of NPCs, in relation to an action or event that the player characters have caused.
Also terrtories and regions are progressing toward completion:
Each of these provinces will get an short introductory entry in the reference book. The chapter 5 will be there for this function.
The first province book will cover the Ancestors’ Foothold province. This province includes the region of Kalderia, one of the largest realms in the Southern Lands. It also includes the strange Rock Desert of Pedlam and the Leangir’s Bounty region, the latter of which is controlled by Kalderia.
That’s all for now!
