2024 has been rushing along like nobody's business, and I only just was able to catch my breath. Let's catch up. First off, I'm thirty years old now! It feels so good to have put my twenties behind me. No offense to those years, but I feel more like myself the older I get. I've been watching the snow melt, and the first hints of green around me. I've been taking a page out of my cats book and joining them to lounge in the sun too. But you know me, I can never be idle for long! Lets start out with the stuff for everyone, the freebies!  

Freebie - Formatting CSS!

As a special treat, I made a free bundle of CSS to make formatting articles easier for all guild members! It'll be especially useful to those of you with a Master subscription (or the rare Journeyman)!  

Everything Else

At the tail end of february I summoned the courage to put myself out there and pitch a blog post for World Anvil! I was so nervous reaching out, but I had no reason to. It was a lovely process, and wow did it feel awesome seeing my work on World Anvil's blog! My Unofficial Guide to Unofficial Challenges went live on March 11, it's full of advice for those of you who hope to run your own challenge!   The rest of March was mostly about digesting all the lessons from Worldbuilding Con, preparing for and promoting my work during the ongoing World Anvil Worldbuilding Awards, and man, can you believe Solaris managed to get not just one, but two nominations for the Worldbuilding Awards? The Scorching of Mercury is perhaps one of my favourite things I've written for Solaris, and it's one of the most important articles to boot!   The History of Mercury timeline has also been one of my big projects the last month, polishing it as best as I could for WAWA. Ever since we got our first sneak peek of the fancy new timelines, I've been busy making events, making tie in articles, and more! It's been so helpful for fleshing out the events of the last couple decades of Mercury, and I cannot wait to expand to the other planets and see what that'll look like!  

Comment of the Month

A brutal and short onslaught, yet they haven't fully fallen. Mercury somehow continues to try and stand, in spite of it all. The rest of the solar system should take notes, and perhaps provide assistance. No good reason to think this stops with Mercury if its allowed to continue.

It's wild that we're in March already! It's my birthday month (16th of March), and I have some cool things in store for y'all! I've been working on a secret project (no longer secret! I wrote an Unofficial Guide to Unofficial Challenges, and you can read it on World Anvil's blog!) for Unofficial Challenge month, and if everything goes to plan it'll be live on Monday or Tuesday next week. All I'll say is that it isn't a challenge, but that it'll be useful if you plan to run one!   It's been a while since I last wrote an update. I was unfortunate to get ill a few times in a row, but being me, I couldn't stay completely away from work. Here's some cool stuff I made in february (and do check it out, one of them is a free utility page you can copy right into your own world!)  

Solaris Updates

I made my first character gallery to showcase my art! I'm really happy with how it turned out, and especially with the fancy tab that links the character page and the gallery together. Other neat stuff
Valentines Cards · Bosonic Clock · Sonar Orchestrion · Homepage refresh  

Freebies

I also made a Utility Page where you can report any bugs you find on Solaris. I set this up so you can easily add a report page to your own world too! Do let me know if you use it, I'd love to see!  

Comment of the Month

Mmm yes. Spooky ocean creatures. Eyeless horrors that hunt in a world of pure darkness. We love to see it. Also amazingly cool political stuff, as always. I'm always amazed by how you encompass all the conflicts across nations and planets.

Sunday today and I woke up rather early so I had some time to work on my Kingdom Building project. As I wrap up my initial research I have gathered up a list of Medieval Fantasy Buildings and Manufacturing processes that I thought it might be helpful to some of you. So... there you go :)

I would really appreciate some feedback is you find something that it is obviously missing from that.

As a note these are both simplified lists, I do have a much more in details list in google sheets if anyone is interested.

If you are interested into Medieval Fantasy Kingdom building Follow the project - There is much more where this came from!

Many thanks to my followers and patrons for your patience. My full novel, In Spite of the Inevitable, is now available in Manuscripts for my Patreon patrons! Which means no more notifications about it. (I tried to spread it out so as to not overwhelm anyone.)   This novel will be available for sale on 17 November, 2023. More Details Here.   For those who can't wait, or who are looking for a free copy, applications are still open for Advanced Review Copies. More details below:   (For other opportunities for free books, keep an eye on my website! Or join my mailing list, and get a free novella prequel to my novel!)   Follow Vazdimet for more updates!   #Vazdimet #Update #Inevitable #Free

Normally I share these journal updates to my author profile rather than the global feed, but I wanted the whole community to get to enjoy these special treats!
  The last few months have been beyond busy, but I finally had some time to get creative this month. I'm so thrilled to be back to working on Solaris.
  I've started a full rework of the Crystal Technology of Solaris, polishing up my concepts for the crystals and how they work. I want to find something that feels just magitech enough, in the sense that it both feels like magic and tech.
  We also got a bunch of stubs written as preparation for WorldEmber later this year. My favourites are Astrallite Chained Sun Caduceus and Merchant Prince.
  Anyways, I promised treats! I've finally finished the long-awaited guide to Styling Tooltips and Excerpts! It talks you through how to style them on your own, but also has a couple of pre-styled tooltips for those who don't want to fully delve into the CSS witchcrafts.

In Spite of the Inevitable is the first installment in the five-book Mordena Dawn space opera fantasy series, detailing the founding of the costly Mordena mercenaries and their rise from mere deserters to ferocious and effective defenders of the independent Freehold planets. When powerful galactic empires seek to devour innocents whole, there's no hired force better prepared to stand against them.  

The past isn't the only thing that won't stay dead.   Hiding from his violent history as a revered Void necromancer within the Sparnell Confederation, single father Shane Lawrence has finally built a quiet life. On the freehold planet of Baden he can pour his energy into the only thing that now matters: the safety and upbringing of his precocious son, Jake.   All too soon, the Confederation targets Baden for annexation, confronting Shane once more with his treasonous past. Worse, the invading force is led by none other than Shane's manipulative former mentor, Admiral Kydell.   Shane's every instinct screams to run, to hide Jake even further from Sparnell – but Baden is home. This time he could choose to make a stand and defend the entire planet, not just his son. But that means turning to the very skills he swore he'd leave behind…

  Final formatting has begun in preparation for publication Novber 17th, which means...

The problem is that there are thousands of sites with online casino evaluations, and it can be actual tough to type out the honest people who have just had a sales arena on raises of no deposit casino bonuses and their limbs crossed. If you know what to air for then it is not hard to low the best online slots reviews.
