Fabula Ultima GM Tool

A small taste of the tool #fabulaultima #codeisfun

A friend of mine wanted in on all the excitement so I created a new git repo https://github.com/dagclo/fabula-ultima-gm-tool. It should work, but it’s a rush job use at your own risk I also don’t have any monsters on here, but you can do it by following this video link:

Progress Report 2

10% through my outline. Honestly, Daylight Savings Time really messed with my momentum. I’m definitely feeling the loss of an hour in the morning.

Progress Report

Back to writing again. Feels pretty good after all the work I put into my outline and notes. #writing #takingbreaksisimportant #HowToMakeAWand #fantasy

Just wrote the first scene, and it feels pretty good to be back at it again. I was a little worried I’d have to spend a bunch of time refamiliarizing myself with the characters, but I guess after years of writing them, it’s just like hopping on to a bike. In other news, I have a lead on finding a new book cover artist for Book 3 (turns out I know a guy) and hopefully I can get back on track for…

Went Quiet There for a minute

I made a thing. It'll help me run Fabula Ultima. Brain too tired for more characters. #Godot #FabulaUltima

Came back with this: A campaign manager for Fabula Ultima made in Godot 4.2! Am going back to writing now. This took a lot of effort

Outline for Book 5 done!

Book 5 outline done. Next month writing

Took me a lot less time because I decided to use computers instead of paper. Also the world is already built.

What's Next?

Wrote a bunch this year and now I'm tired #Writing #HowToMakeAWand

I’m going to take a break. I have to deal with some work stuff, and I don’t really have an outline for the next book (I did, but then I wrote 164k words so I need to go back to the drawing board). I also plan to release Book 2 on Google Play, get a cover for Book 3 so I can release that on Amazon and Google, and maybe get some ads going for them. Over on Royal Road, I’m planning on breaking the…

Pushing through the mists, Sioned sidled past the black and brown workers and stepped onto Bradsbridge. Before Granite hired her, she hadn’t really noticed how many denizens of the Plague District populated The Exchange’s night shift, but now it was to notice how there seemed to be more and more of them every night,  their strange spices tickling her nose while their languages tickled her ears.…

In the other aisle, Blue Mask insisted, “It wasn’t in Thadden’s office. It has to be here!” “Regardless, it’s not,” said Delma. “For some reason, Thadden used the absolutely archaic Wainwright system here, which means that if the book were here, it would be right here. Wait, where is she?” “Mei? Mei!” Mei rounded the corner and dropped her jacket onto Delma’s lantern, sealing all three of them…

“Note to self: Sen Jerome monks are easier to get past than Gray Tower clerks.” Hiding a smile, Mei led Charlie past desks covered in used cups, plates, and eating utensils, the remains of the reception Dwayne had attended. Since it was clear that neither Kay nor Delma were on the first floor, Mei left Charlie next to the stairs and as she closed her eyes and listened. Unlike the Tower and…

As a gigantic ball of flame heralded Maggie’s success, Mei slipped out of the Grand Ballroom to continue her hunt for Delma. She’d assumed that Delma and the other dancers would join the rest of the Ball’s guests to watch the Offerings, but after searching the crowd of people standing in front of the stage, it was clear that none of them had. To catch Delma’s trail, Mei would have to start at the…

Dwayne had left the entrance hall right as Anda and Lyna began their assault on Kasra, not because of how the Paecergad Massacre had been retold as a heroic tale of reclamation, or because everyone, including Mei, loved the performance, but because right then, he spotted Thadden and Ziegler had slipping out together. Muttering some excuse he knew the entranced Mei wouldn’t hear, Dwayne stepped…

“Miss Ma? I know some dances from your native land. We could-” “No.” “You’re the Axesnapper, right? I was wondering if-” “No.” “Surely you could be so kind as to-” “No.” Using quick steps and lowered eyes, Mei raced ahead of the smiles and stares and of the knot of Tuquese making their way sedately around the room. It was unfair. The two with Momin were shielded from these ridiculous…

“Thanks again for your help.” “No,” Dana, as Rodion, returned the servant’s bow, “thank you. I wouldn’t have been able to stitch on those silver torches without your help.” “Are you,” the palace servant’s face turned pink, “going to be around later?” Dana assessed them: swarthy, hard worker, but, unfortunately, a diVida and as such a member of the third most prominent mercantile family after…

After stepping out of Fran’s carriage and onto the drawbridge, Mei stopped to stare at the Palace’s outer walls, which were festooned with prancing striped stags, somber oak trees, serene white-sailed ships, ferocious mottled badgers and many, many more creatures, plants, and objects, each the mark of a Souran noble or merchant. Among them, three held the place of honor under the royal cup and…
