Vanitera, Year 450 is over. It was a year long Catpahract-based discord wargame featuring 240 players
It was the first big discord game to pop up after O/U and has been a wild experience. I've thought about Vanitera every day for a year. A million lessons learned but overall I'm really happy.

As part of the ending ceremony for Vanitera, Year 450 - the year long discord wargame I've been running - I made this video edit youtu.be/ymfR0KFtIVI

#vanitera is now all wrapped up and the post game chats are still happening.
I had a good time in the game, thanks to everyone who was involved in the game, both refs and players

Goddamn. Vanitera went all out. Post game ceremony thing to watch starts in 45 minutes. I'm excited.

I (unknowingly) joined at the exact mid-point of the game. I was on the Top 10 for delivering supplies to other commanders and ended up being one of the most traveled commanders in the game (surprisingly). All the post-game ceremony stuff for this game was INCREDIBLY fun!

Vanitera is two weeks away from finishing, and I’m gonna have to start a blog to properly decompress from all the wild stories
Vanitera, a fantasy setting that seems quite extensive, with your typical assortment of magic, gods, weird science, and other bits.
I’ve only just started, so still figuring out its broader deal, but it’s fun! I’m a member of The Society For Secular Thought!

Hey, the play-by-post fantasy war game called Vanitera. It's about one month into a twelve month game, and it's looking to add more players to the queue. It's all on discord, if you're interested in checking it out just DM me and I can give you the link.

Another Cataphracts character, another costume. This time Antoni "Tony" Grammo from the wonderful world of Vanitera. The game did NOT go well for Tony, but at least I got a sick outfit out of the deal.

I imagine the highs are very highs in Cataphracts/Phractlikes like Vanitera, but man, the lows are really low too (and I've been getting a lot of 'em)! Seeing months of progress lost and weeks of orders undone because a letter got to someone 12 hours too late hits HARD (in a cool/interesting way).

Vanitera - Sort of knightly, but I'm more of a commander who is also an old weirdo librarian!
Canterly Coast - Mythic Bastionland lady knight who can spit out unbreakable silk and is terrified of fire!
Kallisto - Doompilled, possibly dying free lance dedicated to an order protecting the old rites!
