Number one most popular post by, like, a lot: A summary of how people die (and don’t) in swordfights

The rest of my stuff pertains to

Ferelden travel time posts:

• Ferelden travel time maps
• Original Ferelden travel times post including methodology 
  - please also read my reblog where I clarify forced march speeds
• Travel times supporting documentation post
• RPG set one vs set two distances
• In which I rant about the differences between the two RPG map scales

What is the shortest possible amount of time it could take to end the Blight?

• Map
• Total Days for Blight resolution 
  (add 10 - 15 days for my fuckup on forced march speeds)
• Timeline using relative time
  (add 10 - 15 days for my fuckup on forced march speeds)
• Timeline using dates
  (add 10 - 15 days for my fuckup on forced march speeds)
  

Headcanon, canon, and lore:

What would the weather and climate be like in Thedas?

• Comparing Thedas and South America
• Coming soonish: a chart of weather in different Ferelden locales, including high and low temperatures, wind speeds, and precipitation.

Lore blathering:

• On why Goldanna might think Maric banged her mom even if he didn’t
• Demographics of Ferelden

Shields made from the heraldry files in the toolset:

• Many many shields and explanation of their designations
• Dalish and miscellaneous

Maker’s Bursting Blackheads!

• A Guide to Swearing in Thedas
  This is from the toolset files, which means it’s DA:O only. “Andraste’s knickerweasels” would totally be on the list if I were including everything.
• Coming when I’ve got time to adapt my husband’s beer name generator: Thedosian Swear Generator.

Some crap that I wrote:

• Dreams (angst)
• Some Stuff in a Stairwell
• Ritual
• Best-laid Plans (angst)
• A Specific Epilogue
• Congratulations, Your Majesty

Some mods and modder resources:

• Fixed Dead Templars and Fade Qunari - I was repeatedly annoyed by the dead Templars being labeled as dead soldiers, so I fixed it. Someone on the Nexus asked me to fix Sten’s baresaad companions to karashok and ashaam instead of “Qunari soldier” so that’s included there too.
• Ferelden Loincloth Fashion - retexes of Loincloth Fashion to make them appropriate for use by different DA:O NPCs. Part of a larger project to update DA:O clothing and armor to better reflect the styles seen in DA2 and Inquisition.
• Ferelden Chevalier Shields - I like the design of the Chevalier shield from MotA, but if anything’s going to get your Jory shanked in Ferelden it seems that walking around with a very Orlesian shield would be high on the list. This is a retex; I’m working on a standalone version but I am dumb and busy and those two things don’t lend themselves to getting this sort of thing finished quickly.
• Cousland Daughter - blended parents - this is basically Nola without the broken nose; she was created in an attempt to make an f!Cousland that was based on Eleanor but had enough of Bryce’s facial features that she didn’t look like an Eleanor clone.
• Item Variation ID Spreadsheet - this is way more kinlochhold’s work than mine, but I’m the one who had the genius idea to share it so that other modders could avoid conflicts without having to do the work themselves. (Nexus link above; Google docs link here.)

Coming soon: Chevalier shield standalones, Witcher Philippa dress standalones and retexes, some retexes of stuff for Loincloth Fashion.

Reblogging for the update and because I’ve gained a few followers since the last time.

Reblogging because valerie1972 is a gift to the fandom and I don’t think enough people realize that. Follow her, grab yourself a coffee and snacks, read the links above and then troll her DA tags. 

You will be better for it.
