A major update to Arelith's sailing system has introduced unlimited instanced vessels.

Ranging from small sloops to large galleons, in the last few days alone well over a dozen new crews have formed to take their vessel out on the grid map surrounding the mainland.

I think all roleplaying books should have a durability rating.

While others have long been reduced to stacks of crumpled paper, others have held up surprisingly well.

30 and 40 years old respectively.

They might look a little worn, but they are FAR from being defeated. #ttrpg #warhammer

And here is more #DnD art from Arelith, just because.

It's an Umberhulk! (We have a lot of those...)

Well, that's a record; in all of our 22 years - 380 concurrent players online.

We don't use shards or instancing, so these characters were all sharing one single setting. It goes a long way to creating an immersive #DnD #RPG environment.

I am told the dwarves were having a coronation tonight.

So I either just had a pleasant morning walk through the nearby woods, or suffered a near-death experience.

For many of our players Christmas is always a special time on Arelith.

In that it isn't Christmas.

(But we do have snow, with a festive splash of red)

Art by @omiosures.bsky.social during his time as a player, inspired by Skal and its minotaurs. (Works on some fantasy card game or other now?)

I asked if any of our artists wanted to share any WIP for the server, so first off here are some new fur breeches and cuffs from contributor Aellowyn. #DnD

Dressing up is a big part of the game, I admit.

Was at the Edinburgh Fringe last week, and among other things was keen to see 'Tartan Tabletop' but alas was only the one ticket left.

Really it was the waiting for 'C&D' request from Hasbro comment on their flyer that struck a chord...

A lot happening here, a new class: nwnarelith.com/index.php/ne... and a new set of areas for one of our locations: nwnarelith.com/index.php/ne...

I'd likely wax a bit more lyrical about these but it's been a long day of trolling our players with absurd April 1st announcements and I'm shattered.

Another shout into the void that is my (still rather new) Bluesky account.

I finished and released a project today. Always a great feeling to see people playing though these creations.

Players have posted some great screenshots of the recent 'Weatherstone' events on Arelith, which saw areas affected by all kinds of freakish weather.

Many of our players and DMs collaborated to tell a great story with this one.

Every week I'm going to try to publish one of our custom load screens. These are exclusive to Arelith and also appear as in game paintings.

Commissioned from Matheus Graef, a player and fantasy artist that first reached out to me about doing work for Arelith some years ago.
