Delightfully Vancian
[UPDATE 1/6/21: I no longer support spending money on products that benefit Zak S, or giving him positive attention and connection. The short version is that I find credible claims that he has engaged in unacceptable behavior and not made up for it. For more detail, see here for the core of the accusations. To get Zak's side of things, he maintains this separate blog from his main one to post updates on the legal status of these complaints.
Please consider these claims and make your own decision on their validity, and the implications thereof, before either supporting or shunning Zak.]
So, first off, "The Seclusium of Orphone of the Three Visions", if you're not aware, is a new adventure/supplement/thing by D. Vincent Baker for use with Lamentations of the Flame Princess and other old school D&D and D&D-like games. It is a step-by-step guide to creating a funky wizard's tower in the tradition of Jack Vance, especially the Dying Earth and Lyonnesse. It does a wonderful job of evoking that source material and is chock full of imaginative stuff.
The process is a good spur to the imagination, but Zak Smith mentioned in his review, and I agreed, that a good worksheet would help organize the process and make it more usable. It turned out that more like 4+ worksheets were needed, but here they are:
Let me know if you find them useful and any suggestions for improvements, as these are a pretty rough.
