It seems I've somehow bled into the Discover tab multiple times in a row? I know Bluesky isn't meant to have a central algorithm like other sites, it's more stuff related to your marked interests and peeps' like/reposts, but I haven't a CLUE how I ended up there. Mysterious webbed site.

Ten thousand million years ago, French shamans were turning into freaky deer people and galloping up to the sky to learn moon spells, apparently

Come learn about the creative endeavours of a nascent empire to make their anchorite ascetics into their most effective warriors, and just how that might go wrong...

badass dude in casual modern clothing but my man is absolutely covered in crystals and gems on necklacees, braces, rings, and more

If you try to refute the ancient wizard one more time you will have to answer to this guy

New Vermis book from Plastiboo and @hollowpress.bsky.social is on the way👀

Must be the case boss, but I do find it odd that not a full year of Wizard Wednesday posts ever did this. I do believe mysteries are at work.

What does it say about me and the damage done by interntet ecosystems that my first response to visibility is suspicion?💀

How in the seven hells does that work? Does the site pick things at random or are there criteria?

Keep devouring weird and obscure media to build stuff out of! Essentially all of Shadows & Sorcery, my writing project of (mostly) individual mini-worlds and worldbuilding, is born from turns of phrase, bits of description, images, etc. from many different sources.

Next week, after SoS releases, I’ll be opening spots for alpha readers for book 3 ✨

If that’s your thing—or if you prefer beta or ARC reading—I’d love for you to join my team!

The best way to get an invite is by joining my newsletter. I’ll be sending them out soon 👀

Another post after blowing up that I can't account for

Have I gained favour with the secret Bluesky algorithm I'm beginning to believe exists?

But specifically, I think I want to add more weird animals to my Demiurge setting, my most detailed and oldest world. As a writer and worldbuilder I'm way more focused on certain things I like exploring than others, but honestly I could with more thematically appropriate creatures.

Wizard! Wednesday!

Bless the modding community for giving us actual player choice🙏

A Better Tomorrow - Replace Maven as Jarl As a supporter of the Imperials in the Civil War, or someone who made a peace treaty during Season Unending, did Maven becoming Jarl not sit right with you? Well, this mod aims to fix that by replacin

A brief search on Nexus gives me exactly one option. Since she can become a Jarl and there's specific game function associated with that, she can't be killed, but she CAN be replaced and probably disappeared with this.

There is nothing in the world like having that smug scammer fuck Brynjolf come up to me and lopping his head off in the middle of the marketplace

No Skyrim playthrough is complete without the mod that lets you kill the Thieves Guild

Funniest unintended consequence is for some reason killing them in broad daylight incurs no bounties, but NPCs do walk over and go "oh no, what happened?" and then continue on. They don't even care lmao

It is, but the ancient shaman is the precursor to the wizard!

God Mushi-shi is so good. Immensely influential on me.

Carloman is like
40% Ginko
40% Duke de Richleau
20% assorted wizard art

Go watch Mushi-shi right now 🫵

Bluesky famous enough to one day regularly get five likes on my writing posts🙏 What a silly website

Shadows & Sorcery #196 This week, we witness the rise of the order of the Sealed Knight, we do battle with the Magic of Shadows, and we creep through the streets of a City of Sorcerers

For some, living in a ritual complex in Katanek, City of Sorcerers is just to keep a roof over their head. But for others, it's a stepping stone. But how far would you go for a taste for power?

Bluesky's not meant to have a central algorithm but man, that little axe drawing blew up and suddenly the Split Second post, the three weapons, and now the Wizard Wednesday post seem to be showing up for many many more people than I've seen before, all within a few successive days. I wonder.

The ancient shaman is the precursor of the wizard!

Cave painting commonly referred to as The Shaman by anthropologists from Trois-Fréres in Ariége, France. It seems to be a bestial humanoid figure with antlers looking at the viewer, perhaps a shaman in animal skins. Beside it is a drawing trying to figure out and fill in potential missing or faded details.

Here is the most ancient wizard in existence btw #WizardWedensday

A card announcing the next chapter of Wizards of Winorth Chapter 78 Open season. A panel is shown where Orko casting a powerful lightning spell looking surprised. Gar next to him also looks equally as shocked.

Happy Wizard Wednesday!
Ch 78 Open Season - The battle for Season has begun and everyone is coming together. While things are looking up a mysterious figure changes the tide of battle.

Control everything, supply all resources, create dependency, and suppress knowledge of a power that functionally grants infinite resources. Those who won The Race got a great and terrible reward.
