The News Page lists updates made by creator Leord and (perhaps in the future, but not now) contributors.



Roleplaying & House Rules

In the past few weeks I have added new content, such as the Northern tribe‎s, essentially barbarians, and updated the Coin & Blood‎ campaign page but then having to close down the campaign (because, honestly, it was done in 2013, nobody remembers much from it and never had much of an opportunity to bond with their characters).

On the flip side, I've opened up a New campaign‎ with the English crew, which I am very excited about. A lot of background work has gone in to it that (for obvious reasons) are not on the wiki.

Then for the actual rules, I decided to add Hero Point‎s to the game from lvl 3 upwards as I don't want players to accidentally just die, unless they act stupidly, but at the same time I don't want to fudge the dice either.

As I was looking over changing Julle's character to another class, I realised that some classes do deserve some love even in Pathfinder, and thus I started a homebrew Class‎ page with some modifications. So far only the Rogue.

The biggest change has been an overhaul of house rule articles. All of the decent ones are up to scratch and I have specifically marked those that need to be put to the same level. at the moment I'm not using any rules that are not properly updated. Easiest way to see them all is with the brand spanking new Roleplaying Nav Box. Though the neav box itself will need some rearranging, at least all house rules links are there. There will be a link or two added shortly, but nothing urgent.

Weirdly, as I just updated pages, even removed some, the total article count jumped up to 114! :)

100 Articles

I just noticed that the addition of the Ratel race is the 100th article in the wiki! :D

Bits and Pieces

The IPO campaign has finished its eight session, finding themselves in Skull Castle across the border in Vasj territory, killing cloaked figures with nasty tricks and receiving some punishment themselves in turn. I have primarily made updates in these five articles:

Holidays

July has been good for adding things. I have started on the Wyrd full map, expanded its data, really fleshed out the magic items used by the Sickle and finished Daniel Engh's character as well as Petteri's (almost). What I forgot to write for last news item is the categorisation was changed from "world" to "lore" and I added navigations (finally) for Factions and since then I added a World navigation as well. Since the last news item I also added the navigation to lots of pages I had forgotten to do.

I started a Kingdom creation article to remind myself of how to make all the stats for a kingdom, which helped when I updated the Artipellin stats a little and really got going on Wyrd.

The Coins finally got its own article, and I even made a diagram on how it is built! It has long been a "wanted" page in the wiki but I researched ancient roads, including roman roads, and combined it with my visions of the road system.

The house rules were expanded with new Feats, especially for character coming from nobility and having gone through Sickle training. I will add an additional feat for the Wyny Academy of Warfare at some point as well (at least I started the article). Also environmental effects such as thirst and hunger were added. It makes the rules slightly harsher than the regular Pathfinder rules.

Gentry had some minor edits to it (such as Viscount added) as it turns out I had misunderstood nobility in medieval Europe a little. Viscounts were added to Artipellin and all Baronets were promoted to Barons.

As for the campaigns, we've had another session and introduced Daniel Engh's character to the mix.

Now I will be on holiday in England for a couple of weeks. Unsure if I get to do anything Hokaland-related there. It's not a priority at least.

Content Continues

In the past few months a lot of content has been added, which includes copying notes and writing new content (such as the Sickle and expanding Artipellin. I will move the News section to a separate page as well.

We also added Daniel Engh to the IPO campaign. Let's hope he is as good a roleplayer as he is a converser.

Loads of content

A slight update in that I have made a load of minor updates. Noting Healing for a combined article on house rules and Generator for worldmaking. Also very large updates on Capitoleum, the Sabenius Order and much else.

Factions and religion

So, for the IPO campaign, I have also made numerous minor updates to the wiki to make it more readable from my old notes as well as written new material. Especially on:

The team is all but done. One character that needs some polish and one that needs most work done. Next Sunday is the first session.

Content and campaigns

Some friends at work have shown interest in playing, and we have begun building characters and I have begun planning a campaign. Exciting. As such I have also made some more updates to the wiki. :)

More Spam; now sorted

I haven't had the energy to work on this wiki since I got my job, just after the last post, and progress will continue to be slow. However, I did find and plugged the last spam issue as I had forgotten to remove anonymous editing. That's no longer possible.

I may make a separate wiki that only I can log in to and have stuff that I don't want to be public be there, but that will also have to wait until I magically have the energy to finish that book...

Anyways. Always a pleasure to log in here. See you!

Dwarves!

I have started working on the finer details of the dwarven homelands, which are really unknown to most non-dwarves. The massive Gabilgathol "gem" populated by dwarves. To do so I also needed to specify pitch quartz, the material of which it is made.

Spam prevention and Flora

The wiki had its first spammers a few days ago so yesterday I changed the wiki so you can't add pages as anonymous and you can't create accounts. However, if you (who are reading this) would like to help out for whatever reason, contact me and I'll just make an account for you.

Also made a massive update on flora.

Domain/hosting move

Not noticeable in the wiki (fortunately), but took a great deal of time was to move hokaland.com from being my main domain for me (I'm using GunnarPetzall.com as the main domain now) which meant making a new wiki installation and fiddle with the database backup. After much ado, it's at least working fine again in the same location on the web (and a different location on the server) and any links work fine as far as I know...

Content rush

Added a lot of content and editing/moving existing stuff into useful shape.

Added last links from the Obsidian Portal page for Hokaland. Starting on adding content.
