The Forge Beneath the Realm

As the moon of Tharendell drifts toward its mid-season arc, work continues in the forges of the unseen — the places where code and creation intertwine. The Stormforge hums quietly as new laws of the world take shape.

The battle engine of Basic Fantasy grows stronger each day. The foundations — alignments, armors, abilities, progressions, and the secretive skills of thieves — have already been etched into the great tomes. Soon, the remaining scriptures of Class, Race, Spells, and Weapons will complete the circle, and the first sparks of the DM42 entity will awaken. When that happens, the storytellers and the denizens of Tharendell alike will finally hear the Dungeon Master’s voice echo through the halls.

The RAG archives — the great Library of Remembered Knowledge — are still being assembled. Their shelves will soon allow the realm itself to recall its own history, empowering both NPCs and adventurers to learn and evolve with each tale told. For now, the scribes gather and align the rules that will form the spine of those archives.

And while this world slowly finds its rhythm, a quiet request travels beyond the veil:
A call to all who were inspired by the legends of the past — those who remember Burger Becky, a pioneer whose creations sparked countless quests, including my own. She faces a battle of a different kind now — one against illness rather than dragons — and any aid you can send her way is a gesture worthy of song.

Until next we meet at the forge, my friends, may your code compile clean, your rolls be high, and your imagination never tire.
