Hello! Sadly, this forum has been quiet - although not dead - for a while now, so it's good to see a new member. We've not all abandoned the place, however.

Welcome, Che!

I'd love to hear more about your fantasy setting.

And can you tell me more about "Otherworld Immersion?" If it's a term for a specific style of RPG play or something similar, I'm not familiar with it. :-)

Thanks for the welcome! Glad it’s not dead.

Ann, the term “Otherworld Immersion” was coined by Daniel Jones (aka as author Daniel Ionson) when he and I recently spoke for an interview. I liked the term greatly as I feel it captures the essence of something I have been lacking for a long time: the sense of being able to go deeply into a world and feel close identity with your character, to experience things through their perception of the world, and to seek to shed the modern preconceptions I have so often brought to the table in more “typical” play.

I feel that Fudge might offer me a route towards this due to the descriptive traits and more flexible rules system. I am hoping to adapt it to some different methodology and bring more life to my world of Mykovnia.

Hope that doesn’t sound too pretentious or abstract, now that I type it out.
