Holy crud! You wrote an entire novella for Ubik’s bio! Good stuff though, at least the third of it that I did read. I look forward to reading the rest another time.
Many thanks! As for the maps, they’re all homespun using Photoshop and a mouse. A few of those techniques I actually picked up at the Cartographer’s Guild. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement! It’s good to know someone reads the forums!
I saw your campaign submission and decided to stop by for another look at your campaign. I had actually already stumbled upon your site a number of months ago while browsing the Portal, and remember being impressed with the site’s layout, and even more so the degree of detail that you have invested into world. I was disappointed to see that no one had responded to your earlier campaign submission, as I feel yours is one of the more original sites that I’ve seen on the Portal. I hope that this time around you receive a greater response.
While I haven’t the time to give your site the attention I feel it deserves at the moment, I did check out the maps that you mentioned. Very nice indeed. What kind of software did you use to create those, may I ask? Also, are you familiar with the Cartographers Guild? If not, I recommend paying us a visit (http://www.cartographersguild.com/), and posting some of your work in the “finished maps” forum. The Guild is an incredibly friendly and community orient site made by, and dedicated to those who love fantasy maps. There is an enormous amount of talent at the Guild, and yet the people there are very helpful in offering encouragement, tips and feedback (more so than the Portal I’m afraid). Well any way, I wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful site, and I intend to stop by in the future to read more about your world.
Wonderful world!
I hope I can someday put the depth of my own world here on Obsidian Portal that you have managed.
Complete Book of Elves – Nice work, Idabrius!
I agree with Arsheesh, those are some very fine maps and “The Tragedy of Ubik the Kobold” is one heck of a good and well written read.

P.S. “The Song of Lost Cathadria” is just beautiful. Bravo.
