So this blog is intended to catalogue the Imperium's response to rebellion on Devos IV. Making planetfall, campaigning across the prarie and the investiture (as in seige) of the pillgrimage city that is the seat of the rebellion.
So I've been concentrating my creative efforts on gathering information and ideas to try to bring the seige of the city to life. I'd got to the point where I was about to begin commiting it to Word and hence to here.
Now, if you're searching the internet in the 2030's (assuming the internet is still here), as I write this, Vladimir Putin's Russia invaded the Ukraine about two weeks ago.
So given the plight of the people of Ukraine, especially it's cities, I've no stomach or desire to continue with the narrative I've been preparing. It would simply be not in good taste.
I've mentioned before that games about The Troubles, Iraq and Afghanistan are, IMHO, poor taste; I know people who may now be home, but in some measure are still fighting those conflicts. I just don't feel like writing about destoying a city, even it is an utterly imaginary one on a different planet tens of thousands of years in the future.
On a slightly brighter note, I've been heartened by the number of smaller mini manufacturers and 3D printing enterprises who are doing Ukraine benefit things.
I hope that things are drawn to a good end; that the Ukrainians are left alone and that it doesn't drag on too long. It'd be nice to go an visit the Cathedral of St Sophia at some point.
