0·10 days agoThe idea would be a custom fantasy world, starting with continental outlines and working my way inwards to focus regions.
And I would use QGIS.

Folklore and paganism@mander.xyz•Slavic household godsEnglish
0·2 months agoI suspect that there is quite a lot of overlap with kobolds and household spirits in German folklore.
I suspect that there are quite a few of these in German folklore. I have collected more than a hundred German folk tales of saints and holy people over the last few years, but I haven’t cross-referenced these with the list of canonical saints yet.

Folklore and paganism@mander.xyz•Guest article on the Wild Hunt English
0·2 months agoThere are a number of tales - Wild Hunt or otherwise - where there is an explicit mention of a “Wode”. I don’t think linking that to Wodan/Odin is too much of a stretch.
Still, the connections to Hulda are far more numerous, which I find fascinating. I mean, in modern discussions you almost never hear of the Wild Hunt being led by a woman, yet I have encountered quite a few such tales.


And now you have introduced a new generation of #ttrpg players to the existence of this game.
You fiend!
