I'm doing it without the pressure of writing it neatly or posting it online, I'm pretty sure this is the main reason why most of us who did this challenge in 2023 (or the #lore24 in 2024) stopped after a few month, because it became a chore
Solidarity. I also failed at #Lore24 lol
I got diagnosed with carpal tunnel & was ordered not to write anything by hand for 3 months. My condition worsened & I got a wrist brace I wear to bed. After a few months of improvement I was allowed to write again but by then 6 months had passed π

Everyone needs a magic coin that can flip your d20 over to the other side.

The final posting for #Lore24! Pretty excited we were able to commit to this project and didn't miss a single day for the entire year. #L24 #OSR #DIYRPG

Yep, the previous post about slang bled into this final post about slang, this time in languages other than Common.
And with that, I've published 52 weeks of 8 rumors for a total of 416 on the year. Win!
#Fellport #TheRumorMill
#Lore24
This week we look at various bits of slang flying around the streets of Fellport. We insult water-breathers, air-breathers, and rich tourists from elsewhere. We also mock the petty status-mongers and use a couple of terms to backhand the Caps' arcane investigators.
#Fellport #TheRumorMill
Anyone know if there's a #lore24 / #dungeon23 equivalent for 2025 yet?
#Lore24
In honor of 50 weeks of The Rumor Mill, we look at milestones and record highs and lows in and around Fellport. The College graduated a record 203 students this spring, and the city suffered zero combat fatalities in the Ten Days' War.
#Fellport #TheRumorMill
#Lore24
We take a third look at rumor about the gods this week, questioning the need for gods of death, the power of gods of disease, and the lack of gods of truth.
#Fellport #TheRumorMill
#Lore24
Let's look at rumors around theories of magic. Will Fellport fall into the Astral Sea because so many extradimensional spaces perforated the border between planes? Will casting too many rituals in one place create dead zones? (I blame @caspi.bsky.social for this.)
#Fellport #TheRumorMill
Among D&D and other RPG creators there was an interesting challenge for this past year. #lore24 challenge was to write a page of lore a day. After 2 months of this I took a break but the writing I did then is still propelling the TTRPG work Iβm doing in 2025. One page a day works folks!
#Lore24
For this week's Rumor Mill, we look at stories for heroes to investigate. Several reports of undead oddness might tempt adventurers, but we also have allegations of spying, a possible attack on the Gostra Festival, and sailors forced to work against their will.

You see a small waifish teen, huddling and fearful in the food line at Highwater House. They're haunted by something, but nobody knows what, and they rarely speak. What secrets hide within them?
#Fellport #NPC
After #dungeon23 and #lore24, what will 2025 hold for the ttrpg challenge.
There was also a question about any new project to follow on to #dungeon23 and #lore24. I haven't seen much of anything, but again, I've been somewhat tied up in other quarters and with IRL stuff.

Better late than never, we're up with Week 48 of our #lore24 posting over on the Trench blog. Pretty proud we've kept up 48 weeks in a row! #ttrpgsky #osr

#Lore24
This week we look at what needs doing in the aftermath of the Ten Days' War. Does the water supply need cleaning? Is Fellport's food supply safe? How many shipwrecks litter the space outside the harbor?
