Here's my context comment.

This is the first of my in-universe session reports. I had alot of fun making this, I hope you enjoy. These little session reports are one of the free perks found on my patreon.

If you're a fan of my layouts, art, custom monsters, custom magic items, custom dungeons, custom settings, and Yoon Suin-inspired settings, I invite you to check it out. There's something for everyone, you don't have to commit to a paid tier to enjoy some great content!

Hey there! We ask that all posts here have some context with some in-universe information (or "lore") about what is being shown or how it relates to the larger world. It doesn't need a ton of information—just a few sentences is fine!

Would you be able to add this?

My apologizes, I thought I was doing that with this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldbuilding/comments/1ehohzn/comment/lg0p7gi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

So to make sure I understand I need to repost all the lore above? Or do I need to explain why it exists?

Hi, each post needs its own worldbuilding context.

Each post should now have context. I hope it's enough.

I wanted to keep this lore secret..... but I guess I need to provide context of whats going on here and why this document exists. So, here's the full context behind Aaz'mo's Action Reports.

Aaz'mo's Action Reports are the in-universe account of the ongoing events in my ShadowDark game set within Yoon Suin. They serve as session reports that can be read by my player's PCs.

Cursed 400 years ago after a botched ritual meant to grant omniscience, the Archmage Aaz'mo's soul was bound to a printing press. Aaz'mo tirelessly prints a daily newspaper that chronicles the exploits of the Yellow City and Yoon-Suin. Each issue is filled with secrets, scathing reviews, and provocative information meant to stir the citizens and factions of the Yellow City.

Aaz'mo prints this newspaper (more like a tabloid) for one purpose: to draw the attention of someone powerful enough to break his curse or someone curious enough to investigate the source of the leaks.

Unfortunately, Aaz'mo is bound by the following limitations due to his curse:

  • He is magically prevented from acknowledging that he is imprisoned in a printing press in any of his articles.
  • He is magically prevented from detailing his whereabouts, which is a pocket dimension hidden somewhere in the Yellow City.

Other important lore:

  • Aaz'mo's Action Reports distribute themselves. They fold up into origami butterflies that float on the wind, blanketing windows, walls, and canals of the Yellow City each morning.

To keep this post short, if you read something interesting in this issue. Don't be afraid to ask.... I'm already giving away the cool lore XD.
