Geshkara

Scope
The motivation behind building Geshkara
This is chiefly meant for RPG campaigns, originally 5th edition D&D, but since used for systems of my own design, one largely a spin-off of D&D (Tentpole) and one more original (C20).
The goal of the project
I don't usually like high fantasy, and I especially don't like mediaeval stasis.
Geshkara's Unique Selling point
A sense of time and progression.
Theme
Genre
Genre is a Neoplatonist conspiracy theory, and I for one will not stand for it.
Reader Experience
You should feel bugs crawling underneath your skin... any second now.
Reader Tone
Flows of lava harden into stone. I really do think "calcify" should be used more.
Recurring Themes
Worm.
Character Agency
You can open a door. Does that put you in control of the door?
