This came across my feed this morning, and I may have a go at some writing using aspects of my d&d campaign as insparation (The Forge of Arcanum is hidden in space and there's a lot of sci-fi influences there)

1. Launch #SST25 Just going to do these as a few paragraphs, posted as an image with the full text in the Alt text, so, without further ado:

1.Launch The archmages of the Council of Arcanum had finally set their plans in motion, enough of the Forge’s construction had been completed for them to move it to a hidden pocket of the Astral Sea, and now it was time for them to fly up in a ship and join them. It’d been a nerve racking morning, doing final checks on the spaceship, a modified skyship featuring an air bubble generator and magical technology to give it artificial gravity once they reach space. Casting off the moorings, the council all boarded, as the captain gently nudged the throttle controlling the crystalline engines easing the ship out of the dock and into the sky. As it rose, one of the councilmembers engaged the air bubble, surrounding the ship in an almost see-through bubble as the outside air thinned as the ship approached space. A few more nervous minutes passed as the ship continued to climb, until the sky ceased to be visible, revealing the cosmos beyond.

2. Guns, Guns, Guns! #SST25 I struggled a little with this one, trying to stay on topic rather than write pages and pages about the weapons' owners and their background is tough

2. Guns, Guns, Guns! Guns, or the modern form of firearms as we know them, didn’t really exist during the time of the Council of Arcanum, sure there were arcane cannons and more traditional methods of launching projectiles at your enemies, but this was at least 800 years before a certain young lord would craft the first actual gun, forged in the name of vengeance. The adventurers came up to the space station from the planet below, a group of equals hell bent on stopping a most villainous plan. Among them they wielded a collection of customised weapons, the Lord’s daughter wielding a beautifully crafted rifle custom made for her by her father, built for her to empower it with divine energy. The soldier, wielding his standard issue 4-barrel revolver, it shows signs of use but is kept well maintained, but along this he also wields a custom lever action rifle, handmade in the weeks after recovering from surgery he wields this looking for justice, and to protect his allies. Yet in the palm of his artificial right hand lies another, a tiny concealed one shot pistol, perfect to surprise an enemy.
