Character Creation With Four New Forms
[h2]Dear Traveller,[/h2]
Some time ago we took a look at the Book of Travels character creation process in a post that explains how character creation is one of the ways in which the game will allow you a wide range of personal expression in your roleplay (you can get a video insight with Programmer, Game Designer and Discord hero Arvid right here on Youtube).

Today we’re excited to be sharing four new Forms, and just like last time there will be Discord roles available for each one, so if you haven’t joined us there yet, please do dive in and get roled up! It’s been really cool to dip into Discord chat these last few weeks and hear your thoughts and ideas about our videos and reasons for our final date push – it’s also becoming clear that choosing Forms is something of a topic and not always easy! So it should be good to know that you’ll be able to create many characters in the game, and it’s not too early to start thinking about yours - this is a game for creative souls and character creation is just the beginning. We’d love to hear your ideas here or on Discord. And please know that while the Forms represent a kind of archetype they are only the starting point and it’s up to you to develop personas, backstories with as much detail, complexity and nuance as you see fit.
We hope you like our latest additions! And to keep things in one place we’ve added the previous Forms here too, what a varied gallery they make…
[h2]The Crested and The Ribboned[/h2]
While The Crested shows no vanity, they are naturally dignified and uninhabited about their sophisticated ways. Their ease and clear mindedness finds them accomplished in many arts and well placed to succeed in all kinds of company. The Ribboned’s love of home and nature manifests a spirituality that makes profound connections with all things living. Home and community are where The Ribboned is most energised, but their grounded, centred soul means they take both in heart when travelling.
[h2]The Larker and The Veiled[/h2]
Likeability is not The Larker’s goal but merry times are in the offing when The Larker is around. Adventures come in many forms and are rarely serious - so long as leisure and idle times abound, a Larker’s day is as it should be. The Veiled is at once inconspicuous and remarkable, holding to the edges of activity where they absorb goings-on from a place of detachment and stillness. But obscurity comes with mystique, the allure of which makes this solitary watcher an enigmatic type with a quiet penchant for power.
[h2]The Mirther and The Dimmed[/h2]
The Mirther is creative and embodies honesty and youth. They echo rural Romantic archetypes such as shepherds, wandering musicians and artists. They are a daydreamer and find much mirth in or out of company. By contrast The Dimmed is an older, wiser type whose light shines less brightly. Their stoic attitude in company does not temper their thirst for exploration, especially when the quest is enlightenment.
[h2]The Moss Walker and The Weatherer[/h2]
The Mosswalker has feet that are deep in the earth and finds magic in all things mundane. They live a relatively ordinary life but their values are wide and true, making them something of an unconventional, Bohemian type. Striding and far from domestic, The Weatherer’s spirit is forged by exposure to elements literal and metaphorical. Their unequivocal thinking and broad experience finds them well placed in exploration and adventure.

Finally, we’d like to say a word about what has been termed our ‘indefinite postponement’... it is not indefinite! With every day that passes we get closer to securing our new release date, and while we’re not yet ready to reveal it, it really isn’t that far away! It’s so important to us that we have your trust and that means that we want to be sure that the date we give really is the date we release and not a day later. So when we know for sure, you will too. Book of Travels is coming! Stay tuned and stay in touch!
Best Wishes,
Helen & the Dev Team xx
