Current project: Splinter Protocols. We are an avatar of an interplanar AI trying to find out what happened to our higher self... and maybe get laid along the way. Spelljammer and Shadowrun vibes.

I'll be taking a short sabbatical as I figure out what goals I want to shoot for in the remainder of the year. I'm expecting it'll last two weeks, but it's possible it will last longer. In the interim, posts here will largely be on pause.
In conversation, the members of this society display a candor that is quite refreshing, though occasionally bordering on the risqué. It seems that here, the art of dialogue is practiced with fewer constraints, allowing for a range of topics we might consider quite private.
The attire, my friend, would certainly catch your eye. It is both functional and aesthetic, designed to be as pleasing to the wearer as it is to the observer. While certainly less conservative than our standards, each garment is a work of art in itself.
The concept of leisure here would perhaps shock some of our more reserved acquaintances. Leisure activities are pursued with as much passion as one's vocation, and often with a joyous abandon that makes every pastime a celebration.
The appreciation for the arts extends far beyond what we were accustomed to in college. Indeed, the performances I've witnessed—while certainly bold—are rooted in a profound love for artistic expression. My guide assures me that each performance is a homage to ancient traditions.
Upon entering through the Opaline Gates of Silverleaf Manor, I was greeted by a guide whose laughter and demeanor suggested depths of joy I had never known. The gates themselves, she implied, were merely the beginning of what she promised to be a most enlightening journey.

Day 59: "My journey through the Deepest Reaches concludes. Half of my men have opted to stay- they say that getting back to the surface is too difficult. As an older man myself, I can sympathize; I'm not sure if I'll manage to get back up either."
Day 26: "Our host in Emberfall Forge has offered to give us full access to her personal lava baths- to 'melt the tension away'. Tension wasn't the only thing that melted away, though. I've declined her offers, but a few of my men have decided to risk it."
Day 22: "The magma elementals have been increasingly provocative as we've traveled. I suspect that it's only a matter of time before passions boil over. To say that the locals have a fiery temperament would be a tremendous understatement."
Day 14: "We've reached the Searing Citadel. Our hostess for this leg of the journey had a smoldering gaze and a wickedly sharp tongue. While I've held my own in the battle of wits so far, some of my men need burn ointments of an entirely different sort than I expected."
