After nearly two years of hard work, we're thrilled (and a little nervous!) to share the Dromaria site with you finally!
This world means everything to me, and I'm eager for others to explore it.
It is packed with free content for 5ed D&D, including:
• A full world guidebook filled with lore and details
• New class, subclasses, races, spells, backgrounds, and monsters
• A complete introductory campaign to start your adventures in Dromaria
• A prologue comic for our upcoming Kindred comic books
We're excited to hear your thoughts and will continue to evolve the site, creating space for feedback as we go. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see where it leads!
Check it out: https://www.dromaria.com
Keep an eye out for Spooktober 2024 from Dromaria!

My Map for Summer Camp this year...
I had a random idea to focus on a unique part of my fantasy world for Summer Camp so I spent a few nights working on the map. I present to you, the Rovia region of the Moon Izi:
The Moon Izi is a frozen and molten hellscape. Vast regions of the world are covered in sulfuric snow, endless salty flats, blackened volcanoes, and of course, lava. Lots and lots of lava. Frozen acid lakes dot the surface of the world and water is extremely rare on the surface. Various exotic forms of life live on this world, gathering around the lava and acid lakes. Fire Elves survived the great cataclysm at the end of the Silver Age and they have been building a civilization underground ever since. Their great cities are built around so-called Stable Stones that protect them from the volcanism around them. The elves here worship the fire god Beirunes, once known as The Great Destroyer.
I am planning to entirely focus on this moon during Summer Camp, have all the articles link to each other in some way, and tell a mini story throughout all of them. I'll make a proper pledge article later in the month (and also properly upload the map to the site).
I wrote an article about this world during WorldEmber last year and it should serve as a pretty good primer for this whole thing:
Also, the map might look a bit familiar.... This is because the moon Izi is directly based off of the real moon Io, just with approximately 348% more fantasy!

My plans, pledge, pixels, and progress for WorldEmber 2023!
I'm so excited for WorldEmber this year because I get to explore my new bright fantasy world! :D
After a 5 year break, I'm back into colourful pixel art and am brushing up on my skills with a warm up - a pixel pledge!
Here's part 1 of my prep homework complete:
And to get some ideas growing in the background, I'm taking part in Wordigirl's Unoffficial Mapvember, too :D

Cross-Realm Travel with #Mapvember2021
Happy November, Mapvember, & NaNoWriMo (and whatever Nov-something-ember) to everyone! Sharing a spark of inspiration that I got, thanks to #Mapvember2021's very first prompt: "Bridge"/"A bridge that connects two important places."
This got me thinking about (fantasy) travel between realms, and I jumped into some research on well-established ways of traveling between worlds. Portals/teleportation seem to be the most common way. There's "falling asleep and waking up," hidden doors and tunnels, literal bridges, and whatnot.
I went with "the Sylvan Road," which connects one world to another via the roots of a shared tree species. The network of roads is called "the Amarantas," which appears as a sprawling forest that reaches out far beyond the limits of one's sight. The secrets of this method of travel are kept by Sylvan Pathkeepers (an ethnic group AND a title that I have yet to flesh out).
How is everyone's November going thus far? I hope your world building and/or novel writing and/or art-making is going well!
