Awesome, thanks!

How are the new rules coming along? I'm particularly curious how the current nations are going to work. You've hinted that it could be very different. I'm curious what the new sandbox will look like.

Quick show of hands, who would be interested in some Guelph stories? @Khorne and I are looking at throwing out some builds, probably in the new year. Nothing too joined-up. Not a collab or anything. Just, do your own thing, in Guelph!

For anyone not paft of Oleon, you're welcome to join the Foreign Legion, or moc some rebel builds. 

What does everyone reckon?

For those who like a read, I've updated the Essen topic with additional information. The main post has been updated as well, with a table of contents, some rewritten paragraphs with extra information and some new character portraits.

In the new lore post, I've integrated some tidbits alluded to in Keymonus' merchant district, such as the existence of a minor faction wishing to return to ducal times and flying the black-gold flag.

I've some plans for further additions, but we'll get there when we get there .

Happy New Year Everyone! Hopefully, 2025 will bring many new inspirations for building (and eventually we'll get Era III pushed out. )

Happy new year everybody! I hope life is going well for each and every one around here - and that things get better if not.

Saw Nosferatu (2024) in the cinema last night and I absolutely loved it. Costume and set design is so on point! It's just barely on the far end for the BOBS-verse (movie is set ca. 1830s), but still a very good period piece. Loved the Victorian-esque English dialogue too. Wisburg (and the movie as a whole) is definitely I vibe I envision for the Free City of Essen, with the gabled roofs, brick building and gothic/dour folks in winter. Although Essen would be more industrial. Nosferatu and Sleepy Hollow probably are two movies really defining Essian atmosphere and style. Now I really want to be building Essian gothic brick building again .

If you're into (somewhat artsy) movies, I definitely recommend it. It's has very old school horror vibe with lot of jump scares and the classic Robbert Eggers dreamy touch.

 

Unrelated: will we ever see a conclusion of the El Oleonda conflict?  A finale to that story arc to wrap it up before Era III?

There was talk of doing a transition challenge to wrap that up. Hopefully this spring we can get that rolling.

Ah, okay! Must've missed that. Thanks for pointing it out! Looking forward to it.
