I'm making preparations for Tales of Triangulum. Technically, the forum is already open to the public, but I want there to be an "official" opening. Don't worry; all should be ready by Halloween.

What the hell is 'Tales of Triangulum'? I saw it at one point but don't know what it is about.

I'll give you a little background.
Noliterre is very reminiscent of another high fantasy universe called Warhammer (although I'd like to say we're a little more unique in creating factions and histories, but that's beside the point). Now, after Warhammer came out, the game/lore developers decided to create an entire new franchise: Warhammer in space, which they called Warhammer 40K (the "40K" stands for the 41th millenium in which it was set, just like 2K16). The Elves became the Eldar, with practical immortality and technology so advanced that it seems like magic. The Orcs became the Orks, the "cockroaches" of the galaxy. The Chaos faction became the Heresy, a rebellious faction with connections to seemingly supernatural powers. In addition, Games Workshop (the owner of the franchise) created new factions for this new universe, such as the Tau and the Tyrannids. This was a genre unto itself; no science fiction universe had been imagined to this scale or kind. It was, for all practical purposes, the first science-high-fantasy setting, and it quickly eclipsed the original Warhammer in popularity.
While I by no means wanted to eclipse Noliterre, I did want to recreate the science-high-fantasy universe for Noliterre. I called it "Tales of Triangulum," named for the Triangulum Galaxy near our Milky Way, where I hope it will be set. It will be constructed in a similar fashion to Noliterre (perhaps with a bit more drive from the top), and a lot of species and factions (i.e, my Zjau-yl) with be making a reappearance. However, instead of small kingdoms, they will be part of established, interstellar empires. I have hopes that the Camvonian Empire will make an appearance, as well as any nation with a passion for sci-fi.

Triangulum is the best constellation ever.
