I'm a writer and GM in Philadelphia. I originally built the Pentoan Empire as a setting for my novel, which is on submission. But there was of course a ton of stuff that didn't fit into the novel, so I started playing with the leftover bits and turning them into a game setting.

I've run one campaign in this world and would like to do another! But I want to get it all written down and semi-organized first. Right now, it's mostly scattered handwritten notes and digital files that are hellish to sift through.

Strategy for WorldEmber 2025: Write bits of this and that here, there, and everywhere, and don't worry too much about whether they all appear in order yet. (Apologies for the chaos!)
