We are on the same boat. I too had simple celebrations, nothing too shabby, and went back to sleep shortly after the firecracker shows.

My family visited me and we had nice talks, but it wasn't much of a big deal, however. I'm just happy that I didn't have to leave house, I too am a home-body, and here in Brazil, every end of the year means traffic jams everywhere and summer heat making our lives miserable.

But still, I'm happy to hear from you, and happy new year!

That sounds lovely :3

Summer heat? Is it summer in Brazil? I've never really left Canada so I'm completely ignorant to the weather patterns of other countries :$

Yes, in southern hemisphere countries, it's Summer. And Brazil is a tropical country, which means that the warm temperatures and low humidity hurts some people bad. And when it's rain season, there's a lot of storms.

And since it's a tropical country, there's insects. Insects, everywhere. Recently, some cities reported lots of scorpion attacks.

That last post was very detailed and well done. I'll get a response up on Saturday :)

Thanks a lot. I hope you can enjoy this as much as I am!

I totally am! I've never written something like this before that has such a detailed world to start with. It's rather exhilerating

There's a lot of things I like doing, and world building is one of them.

By the way, I'll upgrade the character sheet as the story unfolds.
Edit: Zaph's cute. I like your idea for her!

This update had a load of exposition, and sometimes I get carried away with stuff.

One of the things I really thought that required to be explained was the reason for why the gate of nemesis is a thing - Zaph's mommy is a bit of an Airhead at times, and she REALLY loves history.

I also always wanted to make one of those "In the beginning of the world" stuff Dungeons and Dragons seems to be very fond of, but instead of a bunch of cosmic chess players with medieval stasis fetish, I just went with the "Ancient Astronauts" narrative and magic stuff. I never liked the idea of having dozens of gods messing up with the world because they're bored.
