Forsooth!! (whatever the hell that means)

Ever since I bought a copy of Jeffrey Kacirk's Forgotten Words tome, I have become somewhat obsessed with, well...forgotten words. As you read these bizarre, often-silly, and sometimes downright sensible words, phrases and their meanings, you may discover what I did. It seemed that almost every term I came across, instilled some sort of fantasy rpg idea in my head.

I propose a challenge for all word-lovers! Pick any one and do a submission featuring and inspired by said word. Simple enough right? I tried to pick some of the jucier ones.

This can be added to in three ways. Firstly as mentioned, as an entire submission based on one word or phrase. Secondly, more funky archaic terms can be added alphabetically as scrolls, and thirdly, just by using a word or two in future submissions.

If nothing else, these words can be used to pleasantly pepper one's writing!

A seven point treasise on what the cultural longhouse is, and examples.

The DungeonVerse is at it's heart, a simple exercise in creating dungeons for endless hack and slash adventuring, with the human details on the surface webbing things together, rather than being the driving force of the narrative. That being said, the isekai element is almost a given, and I wanted to throw down a few things about how the standard isekai tropes are handled.

If there are other alien civilisations out there why have they not announced themselves to us yet? Because.....

For whatever reason, the PCs have helped out a band of Orcs and now the Orcs want to reward them.
