I'm currently making a mod for Crusader Kings II. It's not a real total conversion (I've heard that a whole team has tried / is trying to do that, and they've been at it for years already... so that'd be too much for me); just adding new alicorn-worshipping religions to the Charlemagne starting date, and all the stuff that goes with having new religions (holidays, special events, etc).
Also, an artifact system for creating and finding (and losing) magic weapons.

Whoops...

Some sort of anniversary giveaway, lasting about 24-ish hours more. Vanilla game only, none of the expansions.

Tried to get into Paradox's 'eat your life, OMG' style historical sandboxes a few times, Hearts of Iron mainly, but the slow pace and how there's usually no end-state beyond 'survive until X' has made me bounce off them so far.

(Can really recommend Stellaris, though. One of the more open ended 4X games out there, with a lot of options on just how you shape your empire.)

Then I'd made a Patreon.

BTW, I've updated My Little Fortress for the latest game version. Work on the CKII mod will resume shortly.

For real. I think.

Of course, I'll have to go through everything and change things around again come 25th... well, have to get working anyway.

I've decided to put the cult of Sombra in Scandinavia (into most of Finland and Norway). For challenge, I think I'll make the remaining Germanics reformed, with Harald Wartooth as the fylkir.

One of the main holy site holdings, with the special buildings. A reformed owner will be able to rebuild all those ruins.

I'm gonna present an updated version of the Crusader Kings II map (with the new religions) as soon as I fill in the localization text.

Also, I've made a video walkthrough for the Sunrider expantion.

I've made an apocalyptic event chain. If one side (Harmony/Nightmare) is about to wipe the other out, the endangered one's religious head may plead to their divine patron. Then, serious shit may go down. I'll have to put some pathos into the flavor texts.
So fortunate that The Reaper's Due includes a depopulation mechanic

Began nicely, with all the new games I got to play. Didn't last, though.

On Thursday, our elder cat has left us. She's been with our family for... I don't even remember how many years exactly, she's just always been there. 13 years? Maybe 14? Spent most of the day crying, then getting drunk, then crying when drunk. I haven't done either of those things for years prior. Yes, losing important things feels very bad.

Restarting real work on the Crusader Kings mod now. I'll report as it goes.

Same fixes as in FiM 4.1. I've tested several animals that became "historical" (that is, killed citizens and got a name for it): they were butchered normally, with meat and glob-materials working as intended. I've added in the Witch, too.

I will definitely work on CKII now.

I'm having a good night tonight, and just saw something pony-related that cracked me up repeatedly, so I thought I'd share it. It's not new, but it's new to me, and mayhaps you'll find it as funny as I did.

Chapter 18 is done.

Yeah, it's been 10 years since I've made an account on this website and published the first two chapters of Rebirth of the Damned, my first story (you can't tell now because back then when you would edit chapters and save them then it would overwrite the date of publication).

Chapter 16 of Infinite Potential iiiiiis... done! Yep, finished him two days ago, actually, but when I finished it it was middle of the night so hadn't had the time to write a blog post, then the next day I had some paperwork stuff to do for work so once that was done I wasn't in mood for more writing, sooo I'm telling you now! Anyway, it's now being looked over by my editing/proofreading team, not quite sure when they'll finish, hopefully before the end of May.
