Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05; Content:This image was used to announce "Trick or Treat at the Nightmare Imp's House," a tokenomics event for October 2022. All of the ten partner collections (Cryptopunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Cool Cats, World of Women, Loot, Doodles, Azuki, Moonbirds, CloneX, and 10KTF) are pictured.

On this week’s Wizard Wednesday, Elf and Dotta were present as usual, but Bearsnake was away, busy “knocking on doors in New York City,” attending NYC Comic-con. The street teams are back, handing out Issues of Comic Book Issue #0 to the masses.

Now that it's October, Elf reminisced about last year, when Magic Machine had a special Wizard Wednesday opening with the emergence of Angelic Dotta after the Great Wizard Burning opened and Dialectic burned the Dotta Wizard token.

The Beacon NFT project announced Forgotten Runes as a partner project in September 2022. As part of this, Wizards were recreated as custom sprites in the game.

## Contents

  * 1 Wizard 3D Models Discussion
  * 2 Halloween Event - Trick or Trick at the Nightmare Imp's House
  * 3 On-Chain, Play-to-Earn Forgotten Runes Game Announced
  * 4 Runiverse Game Update
  * 5 Magic Machine PR Efforts
  * 6 Community News
  * 7 Cult Content Shout Outs

### Wizard 3D Models Discussion[edit | edit source]

First up, we had some discussion about the 3D models that are currently in development. Elf, said that these will have massive lore and storytelling potential, not to mention meme content.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05; Content:Dotta recommended technical folks to learn Blender, especially geometry nodes and shader nodes. He talked about how the nodes let you create 3D characters fairly quickly. Once created, the models let you quickly create innumerable poses and actions for the characters. Dotta talked about the three stages of creating a model, the structure/shapes, the textures, and the rigging. All 10K Wizards (and eventually the Warriors) will have these. When you animate, you apply them to the “skeleton”, and since all the characters share this skeleton, once you create the animation for one, all the other characters can use it too.

Elf mentioned that several people with 3D model experience DM’d him about getting early access models of their wizards, and those characters are in the queue to get their models finished first.

### Halloween Event - Trick or Trick at the Nightmare Imp's House[edit | edit source]

Elf and Dotta revealed the details of the Halloween event this year. Magic Machine was prepared, and so all the details are available in thread by Dotta \+ a blog post.

The theme is “Trick or Treat at the Nightmare Imp’s House”. When you go to the Forgotten Runes website and knock on the Nightmare Imp’s door, a pixelized version of your character will appear on-screen (even for partner collections, albeit one general sprite representing each collection).

Toru the Video Ghost (an ultrarare Soul) was teased as a possible participant in the "Trick or Treat at the Nightmare Imp's House" event, both on Twitter and during the Wizard Wednesday Twitter Spaces (October 2022).

Regarding eligible FRWC tokens, it's Wizards, Warriors, and Souls. Other tokens like Ponies and Beast Spawn won't knock on the door.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05; Content:The treasure boxes that are received with a "Treat" result are an intermediate form - you will be able to buy, sell, and trade these unrevealed NFTs, with no time limit. You can choose to "open" the treasure boxes in your possession at any point in time to see what you got.

Elf talked about the “why” of this event next. This is another expression of the “door” theme pervasive in this project ("put your Rune on the Door"). PFPs are digital costumes. Magic Machine is inviting everyone in the Runiverse (+ neighbors) to come in their digital costumes and knock on the door. The Nightmare Imp has the heart of an imp, so he loves tricks, but is also gives treats to those he feels a kinship with. Why treats? Magic Machine has always wanted to have a large and complex ecosystem of tokens. Many character tokens have been released already, & now they want to put some focus on items. Items often had an important role in various fantasy and sci-fi media properties, across mediums (books, games, movies, tv, etc.)

Elf revealed some of the treat items (skip the next few tweets if you want to go in fully blind); there will be candy (it just makes sense). NO jelly donuts, but other edible items. There is a super-rare potion, as well as other tonics, elixirs, and beverages. There will be magical books, alchemist items, and classic video game power-ups (Toru the Video Ghost may be present). Masks, dolls, and a mushroom. The Magic Machine team has a lot of ideas about how these items can add to utility in the future. But you can use them to inspire more lore right away - characters usually have an entire inventory with them to take on quests - you shouldn’t be limited to just your character’s prop.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05; Content:Dotta said that with this release, you can start to see the larger tokenomics vision of the Magic Machine team. Although their utility won’t be immediately revealed, once these are in possession of the community, they will get integrated into future events. The collection will remain open. The specific items that are revealed from the treasure boxes in this event will have no further supply beyond what is in the boxes. But there may be other, different items introduced over time.

A preview of a "Soul" sprite, released by Bisonic in a development blog update for the "Forgotten Runiverse" game (October 2022).

### On-Chain, Play-to-Earn Forgotten Runes Game Announced[edit | edit source]

Dotta revealed that his developer team is working on an on-chain, play-to-earn game. This is separate from the Runiverse MMORPG in development from Bisonic. P2E resource tokens will be airdropped to Forgotten Runes holders. The partner community members who participate in the Halloween event will also receive airdropped P2E tokens for this game (not as many as holders get). Dotta is hoping that this will be another bridge to engagement with Forgotten Runes for the wider NFT community. This game is separate from the Halloween event, and will be released at some point afterwards.

### Runiverse Game Update[edit | edit source]


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05; Content:### Runiverse Game Update[edit | edit source]

A new development blog post was released today. Community manager Madotsuki came up and announced a creative writing contest, which is “campfire story” themed. A special commemorative POAP will be given to all earnest entries (no airdrop lore). All entrants will enter a raffle for FRWC merch bags (shirt, sweater, tote bag). 3 hand-picked stories will get their tales illustrated by Cult Creator artists. MeepleDad will be hosting some lore workshops throughout the month for those that want help with their stories as well. Check the Runiverse Discord for more information.

### Magic Machine PR Efforts[edit | edit source]

Deep in the Sand, The Barren Court is creating a parallel ecosystem of tokens set within the Forgotten Runiverse. Pictured is a preview of new character token art. (October 2022)

Elf mentioned that the founding team has done a lot of interviews lately, 3-4 per week. During the interviews, they often get asked whether the community is actually participating in the “decentralized world-building” process. Magic Machine is only too eager to show off examples from The Book of Lore, including the entry for Magus Devon of the Quantum Downs (6001), which has a lot of lore and illustrations to develop the character.

### Community News[edit | edit source]


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-10-05; Content:### Community News[edit | edit source]

Abominable Snowmimic (Alternate) by Kokopelli

### Lore[edit | edit source]

> Creatures made of snow that are able to change their own shape to imitate the appearance of other creatures. They're capable of mimicking a limited range of sounds and rely on deceiving their prey during snowstorms into drawing near snow puts they've created. They are incapable of changing their long orange noses, though can be clever enough to disguise them as tails or horns instead. Those lost in the north are warned to be cautious if they encounter another human calling for help, as it may be an Abominable Snowmimic tricking them into their demise.

Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2021-11-24

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2021-11-24; Content:Wizard Nouns were released as a derivative NFT project, free to Wizard-holders (for their own Wizards). Released November 2021.

## Contents

  * 1 Wizard Nouns Revealed
  * 2 Q&A
  * 3 Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) Campaigns Planned for FRWC
  * 4 Cult Content Shout-outs
  * 5 Lore Reading

### Wizard Nouns Revealed[edit | edit source]

An early image of concept art for the TV trailer that was in production at the time (by Titmouse Animation). It depicts Calista's Citadel, one of the prominent wizarding cities.

The Wizard Nouns, a derivative Forgotten Runes NFT project, was announced, including previews. Elf, Dotta, and Bearsnake were very supportive. The artwork was created by Bread, who emulated the style of the original Nouns, but all of the Wizards are still recognizable. TV, O, and SPZ were also involved on the development/writing side of things. BVASN, Chuck, and Madotsuki also helped out. Popular, Dotta, and peppy reviewed the contract as well.

Concept art for Kobolds, created by Titmouse Animation as part of their development of a TV trailer for Forgotten Runes. (November 2021).


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2021-11-24

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2021-11-24; Content:Elf talked about how the Wizard Nouns are part of the evolution that the project wants to encourage. The Wizards themselves are Runes, abstract symbols that represent broader concepts in the world. The NFTs are 50x50 pixel images, fairly simple at the most surface level. They represent the seed of an idea, that you can scale up infinitely - scaling down from something that starts as more complex, causes a loss of information. He went on to explore the concept of "canon" and how that might work in a decentralized world-building project like Forgotten Runes. At the end of the day, the most compelling narratives and ideas will rise to the top, regardless of their source (Magic Machine or the community).

### Q&A[edit | edit source]

  * Affinity data for Wizards in OpenSea: Dotta said that it could happen in December. But he is mindful to include what people care about, and wants to put it to a vote before it goes live.
  * TV trailer update: Elf is viewing and sharing some early animation sequences with the Magic Machine team. He really wants to share it more widely, but also doesn't want to show too much before the official release. Bearsnake was in favor of a greater amount of sharing. Elf said that the compromise is to show concept art that won't actually be in the animation, but which provides hints of what is to come.
  * Game update: Magic Machine is extremely close to signing a deal with the game developer.

### Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) Campaigns Planned for FRWC[edit | edit source]

Magic Machine and a few community members, such as Madotsuki, performed a test run of a DnD campaign. Elf liked the freedom of activity in the medium, and thinking of creative ways to use items. Bearsnake got frustrated due to his poor dice rolls, causing him to be clumsy and hurt himself.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2021-11-24

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2021-11-24; Content:There will be sign-up sheets later, so that holders can participate in DnD one-shot campaigns. The long-term goal, is to actually be able to play as your Wizard, and within the Runiverse setting.

### Cult Content Shout-outs[edit | edit source]

  * Bob the Bregard got a Flame Head tattoo.
  * TheOneWhoRings revealed a 3D character rig of Magus Wazir. They also shared a prototype for a rogue-like game based on Legend Maps.
  * Jose Canizares made a Grey Pilgrim 3D model.
  * Chemicalimbalance made a video of a mushroom wizard + chiptune music.
  * Henboyd drawing an illustration of Sorcerer Hadrien of the Hills (113).

### Lore Reading[edit | edit source]

The lore reading this week was from giveahoot, reading the establishing lore about the Runes Trading Card Game. Giveahoot said that this lore is what inspired the wider game that is in development by giveahoot and a small team, and talked about the high-level concepts and plans for the game.

The new Book of Lore cover created by Ozzz.

### Book of Lore Cover Refresh[edit | edit source]

The Book of Lore has been updated with new cover art! Ozzz has created the new cover. Elf complemented Ozzz's work, and said he did some things, artistically, that Elf didn't think of with the original cover.

### The New Media Landscape[edit | edit source]

Exterior of the Thirsty Wizard, a Forgotten Runes token-gated space created by WWWeb3, a 2D metaverse game that supported Wizard walkcycles. Image taken by Jeeves circa January 2022.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-01-19

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-01-19; Content:Elf's talk this week was around this trend. The financial structures under media have influenced them for decades. Traditionally, studios survived by making content that advertisers can attach ads too. As a result, the content needed to be "ad-friendly" and the advertisers had a lot of influence on the content. However, subscriber-based platforms like Netflix and HBO were a new trend. These platforms don't need to worry about advertisers, and the content-creators are more free to explore themes that they couldn't before. The relationship between the studio and the audience changed.

Dotta added that this resulted in experimental forms, as well as niche interests and longer-form content - you weren't limited to 30 minutes about a topic that interested a broad audience. The viability of niche content even allows existing franchises, like Star Wars, to increasingly branch out in content about more characters.

Elf believes that Forgotten Runes is at the forefront of another change. Now, a community is not just audience members, but can take part in, and benefit from, the creative process.

Dotta pivoted to recounting his talks with artists at Cal Tech regarding NFTs. These represent a way for artists for get a fair wage and work on content they want. Elf added that most of the criticisms of NFTs with regards to how artists are treated, are not true, and are actually more fitting of the big media studios. He acknowledged that the way Magic Machine talks about Forgotten Runes to non-crypto people needed to change. These are some of the key talking points he uses now:

Interior of the Thirsty Wizard, where many Cult members partied during Wizard Wednesday (January 2022)


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-01-19

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-01-19; Content:1. We are built by, and for, the creator economy.
  2. We are world-building, tweet by tweet. We are creating on social media, in real-time, with the community.
  3. We have provided the building blocks (creative primitives) to get the creators started. The Wizards as seeds.
  4. There is a financial incentive structure in place for creators, via the IP structure.
  5. The relationship between Magic Machine and the Cult is new and different from those of the traditional big studios and the audience, enabled by the blockchain. This is a tool that changes the way a franchise is built.
  6. This is not theoretical, it's already happening, at scale, right now.

### Comic Book Update[edit | edit source]

Elf talked about Magic Machine's internal discussion about how best to distribute the comic book - there were several models possible. MM wants to get the comic book in the hands of many non-crypto people, with an explainer about how to get your 1st NFT and other crypto basics.

The 1st script has been written, and the artist is drawing the panels. Dotta wants to have little contests in the comic book, similar to those of classic Nintendo Power issues. MM wants to get comics to the Cult members as well, ideally multiple copies to enable sharing with friends. The goal is not to create a scarce collectible that is highly prized and expensive, but to make it a promotional and educational vehicle to spread word of Forgotten Runes.

### Wizard Party - Thirsty Wizard Tavern[edit | edit source]

Druid Ofaris out of the Blizzard organized a wizard party in WorldWideWebb3, a 2D metaverse game that supports the Wizard walkcycles and features a token-gated space called The Thirsty Wizard. Elf also mentioned that Atlantis World is planning a clubhouse for Wizards.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-01-19

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-01-19; Content:### Elf's Take on the Simpsons[edit | edit source]

Elf recounted a video created by SuperEyePatchWolf about the Simpsons, one of the longest-running TV shows in history. It showed that the story, characters, and animation is nothing like what it was like in the beginning, to its detriment. Lately, they even did a sponsored inclusion of Balenciaga. Marge and Homer acted out of character to promote this clothing brand. The franchise is essentially a shell of its former self. Given this reality, how is the Simpsons still on the air? Basically, meme culture is doing it - there are so many Simpsons memes that has proliferated over the years.

The meme form of Simpsons is still able to tell authentic stories, and this allows the Simpsons to grow and stay relevant. Elf wants to see what happens when you build this meme culture from the start, and promote and collaborate with fan-made creations from the very start (as what is being done in Forgotten Runes). Bearsnake countered that he thinks that Simpsons are still on the air because Disney (via Fox) sees Simpsons as a cash cow and will milk every last penny while it can.

### Warriors Update[edit | edit source]

Dotta said that the Warriors drop will be bigger than Wizards, but not excessively so. Somewhere between 12-15K tokens. He thinks it would happen post Runiverse land sale. He mentioned that to create the TV show, it may cost $0.5-2 million per episode, so funds are needed. He would love if the Warriors are structured to enable the show to be created, as well as bringing in more people into the community.

Elf added that lore-wise, there are always more Warriors than Wizards, and Wizards showed be viewed as elite. And Magic Machine wants more characters to be available for the metaverse game and other participatory experiences.

### Lore Reading[edit | edit source]

  * 6 Lore Reading and Homework Assignment

### Lock Forging is Live[edit | edit source]

The Gold and Quantum weapons were unleashed today, as part of the Great Forging. Dotta was excited to see new legendary weapons, as well as fewer Sacred Flames. To kick things off, Acideater created a golden cutlass for her honorary warrior, and end0xiii created a Quantum sword. Several others followed in the next few hours.

Theo (Snoopdoug's son) won the Summer Kid's Art Contest (judged by Elf). September 2022.

Cosmo was the primary artist for the legendary weapons and new backgrounds animations, and Elf was in charge of naming all the potential new weapons. It appears that the lock type affects the weapon, and the spell affects the new animated backgrounds. Niski and Kneeshaw were involved on the smart contract side, which accepts the component materials, and upgraded the NFT metadata with the appropriate details. Dotta considers this Forgotten Rune's first foray into dynamic NFTs.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14; Content:Later in the Wizard Wednesday (WW), Elf returned to the forging topic. Bearsnake acknowledged that because of the limited nature of the Locks, there will be many who feel FOMO and won’t be able to participate. Magic Machine tries to vary who they target with different events and airdrops, and assured the audience that there are events coming up that will have a wider reach. Dotta said that in a couple months, there will be an event that releases 14 “pieces of gold” that are akin to the Locks. However, they won’t have Spells involved with them; they are gold items to create gilded weapons.

Dotta said that there are no future plans for Locks - the Forging is the only event that will make use of them. However, there will be 2 other events this year where all holders can participate, and Bearsnake hinted that even some non-holders will be able to get involved.

Dr. Slurp and Cookie Tree hosted a special livestream featuring glitch visuals and sounds to accompany the creation of Heaven's Bass, a legendary weapon. (September 2022)

In response to a question about whether this use for the Locks was planned from the start, Elf said that this came from one of the many archetypes that form the basis for Forgotten Runes. He recounted the Gate to the 7th Realm event, which involved teamwork between a Key-holding Wizard and a Spell-using Wizard. This was intended to help build connections and the community, and is the aspect that Elf liked the most.

### Community Announcements[edit | edit source]

  * Today (or at least this week) we had birthdays of community stalwarts Jitcy and Wise Sam!


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14; Content:* Artxie and Daniela Ilustra are making a comic, and are looking for community members’ characters to appear in it. The comic will be from the point of view of a tavern barman. Every story will incorporate 12 characters, so there are plenty of spots available. Artxie will select from applicants based on the traits of the characters, depending on the needs of each comic story. DM Artxie if interested in having your characters included.

  * The beginning of Dotta's thread describing the Dreammaster bot, a Stable Diffusion-based tool created by TheOneWhoRings with assistance from Jitcy.

The kid’s art contest organized by Snoopdoug closed today. Elf selected a winner (he was asked to do so by SnoopDoug). Elf had misgivings about being a judge of artwork; he wants everyone to know that he doesn’t think the non-winners are bad, and he loves children’s drawings overall, due to how it reveals a child’s thought-process and the raw creative energy involved. Ultimately, Elf chose a winner based on which work made him the most curious and pushed the boundaries of the creative process. It was Theo’s (age 8) piece , which included both painting and sculpture within one creation.
  * Dr. Slurp announced that right after WW, he & fiance Cookie Tree would host a Twitch stream to upgrade the bass from his honorary warrior.

### Other Magic Machine News[edit | edit source]


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14; Content:### Other Magic Machine News[edit | edit source]

  * Comic book issue #1 previews will be coming out soon.
  * Elf also mentioned that he, Bearsnake, and Dotta will appear on the Altcoin Daily Youtube show in the coming days.
  * Dotta mentioned the Axios article that came out this past week, which included extensive quotes from him. Elf felt it was too negative. Dotta felt that he was honest with his thoughts, that if you want to start an NFT project, you need to think about the plan after the initial mint, because your holders will have expectations. He didn’t mean for any of it to feel resentful. The newsletter version included additional info and some examples of Community Cult content.

### Dreammaster Bot Follow-up Discussion[edit | edit source]

Madotsuki shared a collection of physical Forgotten Runes objects that have been collected since the start of the project. (September 2022).

Dotta compared the descriptions of traits as “word pixels” and the ability to coax good results from the AI as a skill akin to coding. Being able to create these prompts will be a skill in the future. Currently Wizards and (and now Warriors!) are supported, with plans for Souls and Ponies soon. And the overall bot is still being refined as well, so even if you aren’t totally happy with the initial results for your particular character, check back in later on.


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14; Content:Dotta acknowledged that artist commissions seemed to have gone down in recent months. A lot of it is probably due to the bear market, but he wonders whether the rise of these AI services have contributed as well. He stressed that the bots cannot fully replace human art creation. Jitcy said that he thinks it’s complementary - like a stepping stone or a prototyping tool that can help you flesh out your ideas at a lower cost. Elf noted that the bot’s weakness is hands, and to some extent, arms and legs. In a similar way, dreams tend to distort these things as well.

### Cult Content Shout-outs[edit | edit source]

  * Madotsuki sharing a collection of physical items he’s received from Cult members.

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2022-09-14; Content:### Lore Reading and Homework Assignment[edit | edit source]

Lorepunk read a poem she created about the upcoming forging of Dr. Slurp's bass into a legendary weapon.

Finally, a HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT straight from Elf: Watch at least the first episode of the new Lords of the Rings (Rings of Power) and Game of Thrones (House of the Dragon) shows. Elf says they both get better as they go along, and are good examples of world-building. Elf would like to hold a discussion around these next week.

TV is a notable community member of Forgotten Runes. He is best known as the head of the Wizard's Nouns project, and as the creator and maintainer of the Forgotten Market NFT marketplace.

TV was present in the Forgotten Runes discord starting on Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult Mint Day (June 30, 2021). His initial comments were around a script he ran to identify all wizards with a certain number of traits. This was a hint of what was to come.

TV was an active participant in the initial analysis of the Wizards collection, helping scrutinize the wizard metadata and discussing different interpretations of wizard rarity. Within the first week, he released a spreadsheet analysis (with associated explainer guide) of wizard name rarity, that was later incorporated into the custom rarity scores on wizards.guide. TV was also an early user of the Decoder Crystal provided by Dotta to help the community decipher affinity data.

TV was also an early believer in the viability of the project, steadily accumulating wizards while the price floor was still at or below mint price. He noted that even within the first week after mint, "a nice community is forming around [FRWC]." In the sales realm, he helped out fellow community members by running a script, then publishing lists of high affinity wizards for sale (information that was not readily visible to non-technical people in those days).

TV was an early proponent of creating a separate Sales channel in the Discord, which would eventually evolve into the legendary 💫sales channel. TV also made an early suggestion to have unique Wizard emojis in the Discord.

In October 2021, TV first came up with the idea of Wizard's Nouns. Eventually, he coordinated with a team of several community members to release the collection, which was free to holders.


TV

Title: TV; Content:In December 2021, TV forked the code for The Book of Lore, to create Forgotten Lewds, a place to view lore that has been marked as "Not Safe for Work" (NSFW) and thus not visible in the primary Book.

On February 23rd, 2022, TV announced the release of the Forgotten Market, a Forgotten Runes-exclusive NFT marketplace. The marketplace uses the Reservoir protocol to provide the essential functions of an NFT market, and also displays affinity data and any Book of Lore entries for the associated token. All platform fees from native sales made in the Forgotten Market go to the House of Wizards DAO.

In April 2022, as a result of his various contributions and connections made within the Forgotten Runes community, TV was voted as one of the recipients for an Honorary Warrior. TV chose TV Master of Ceremonies (15509) as his custom warrior.

ZayLaSoul

Title: ZayLaSoul; Content:ZayLaSoul is a prominent community member of Forgotten Runes. As one of the earliest members of the Cult, Zay frequently came up to speak on the Wizard Wednesday Twitter spaces, exchanging ideas with founders Elf and Dotta. Zay also made various Forgotten Runes-themed memes to help spread the word - these undoubtedly helped attract numerous people to FRWC.

ZayLaSoul is also known for his Dream Master, Magus Tumbaj of the Mount (3147), who has been imbued into various artworks and memes. Magus Tumbaj was also featured as a card in the alpha core set of the Runes TCG.

A fan of world-building, ZayLaSoul also started the Build.frwc server, where others with similar interests can go and brain-storm about various aspects of the Runiverse.

In May 2022, the Forgotten Runes community voted for ZayLaSoul to receive an honorary Warrior. Zay helped to design LeoKnightas Beast of Blades (15512).

That same month, ZayLaSoul joined the Dialectic team, serving as their community manager of the 1of1 collection/DAO.

Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:## From Chaos Mage Miyo of the Wood[edit | edit source]

“There are rumors around Sacred Flames’ sightings on the Salt Sea shore” Basil of the Berg mentioned, as Miyo was reviewing a map of the Runiverse. “A couple of associates of mine also confirmed the rumors and mentioned BlackSand as a potential lead” he continued.

Miyo was only partially listening. That cringe Basil was just as good as an empty cup of ale, *“but sometimes he does surprise me”* Miyo admitted. “So you are saying that we might find a Sacred Flame there? Are you positive? I can’t even find a place called BlackSand on this map”

“So it appears, my Queen” Basil replied almost in adulation; “…and you say this BlackSand city is supposed to be here?” she continued pointing to a spot in the map north of the Red Wizard Capital. “I can confirm, Miyo; it is only a three-day horse ride from here.”

“That also means we could make it in time for the BlackSand tournament” Artificer Damien of the Mist shouted bursting into the tent were Miyo and Basil were meeting. He was waving around a letter he claimed was an official invitation to a legendary tournament. “A tournament?” Miyo replied, getting slightly more interested as she learned more about this BlackSand place. “All right, that’s enough clues to make this short trip worth it. Basil go find more information on the Sacred Flames and Artificer ready the horses and, while at it, fill me in on this tournament. A fun fight can only make our stay there a little more pleasant.”


Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:Three days later, Miyo and the Miyo’s Boys passed the wooden gates of BlackSand. Miyo was surprised by how run down the place looked, with only a few shops open for business. The streets were also covered in dark sand. Somehow that remined her of the years she spent working in cinnabar mines: air filled with dust and smoke that would itch your eyes and nose. Those memories made her angry. She was getting so upset that small fire balls just snapped out of thin air from her clenched fists. “I hate…” she started saying but then got distracted as what looked like another wizard galloping past them on a black horse. “Ah what are they here for???” Miyo shouted “Basil go chase them and find out everything you can. We can’t afford to lose a Sacred Flame to another wizard.” “And you, Artificer go sign me up for this tournament and find us an inn for the night”

The morning after Miyo made her way to the tournament ground, wearing her usual black leather outfit. She had just learned she would fight in the second duel of the day right after the opening one. “This is annoying, I needed to dedicate some time to the Sacred Flames this morning” she snapped as soon as Artificer informed her. “My apologies, boss. But the council organizing the tournament seemed very keen to have you fight as soon as they learned who you are.” “And why would you tell them?!” she dismissed him, annoyed.

As Miyo approached the fighting area, she heard cheers and claps from what seemed like a few tens of people, followed by a loud voice “…..may your name be remembered as the first champion of a BlackSand fight.”


Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:“Hear, hear” the same voice continued shortly after “It is now time for our second duel. Please welcome Chaos Mage Miyo of the Wood and Chaos Mage Tabitha of the Morning Star. May the best fighter win!”

“Another Chaos wizard? And a Morning Star? This is starting to be interesting,” Miyo smiled, fist clenched and ready to fight as she made her entrance into the sandy arena.

## From Chaos Mage Tabitha of the Morning Star[edit | edit source]

“Fire…” Tabitha was thinking as she gently handled a large magic flame around her fingers. She loved to play with it. To feel its heat. To admire its beauty. To own its power. At a snap of her fingers the flame went off. The room fell into darkness. It was late night.

Tabitha was a vampire. And not just that. She came from one of the longest-standing and most powerful vampire families in the Runiverse: the Morning Star. Little was known about their origin, but their power and influence was respected across lands. Few amongst the wizard community didn’t know about her or her sister Hedge Wizard Lucinda of the Road.

She typically didn't travel as far West as she did this time. But an odd request had come to her from a long-loved friend. “Come to BlackSand, I need you.” She rehearsed the words sent to her by Archmagus Crowley of the Reach. Not a word more. But Tabitha knew how these things worked and not to expect Crowley to put much else in writing. He wouldn’t risk losing anything to unwanted eyes. They had their fun playing politics years before and to this day Crowley continued to be invested in that power game. “I wonder what he is up to now.”


Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:Tabitha was familiar with BlackSand. She had studied the history of the fallen Imperium. “A trip to the city that once was is always welcome” she smiled. She also had a theory that required further exploring: “fire magic is stronger in BlackSand”. Historian had believed for ages that natural elements such as volcanos could enhance wizards’ magical capabilities. But she wanted to bring that theory one step further: “what about all that black sand?” she considered “it could be the perfect conduit for fire magic at minimum effort.”

It wasn't too burdensome for her to accommodate Crowley’s request. Her journey to BlackSand took her a few weeks. When she got to the city a couple of days earlier, Crowley had greeted her flamboyantly. “Crowley is an odd one.” That night the Archmagus had a long white bear covering almost half of his dark green tunic. Always wearing his red, pointy hat, symbol of his allegiance to the Red Wizards. “Welcome my dear Tabitha” he had loudly greeted her with a generous smile. “Come in, come in. There is much that needs discussing.”

Remembering that conversation from the darkness of her chamber felt odd. There was something Crowley wasn’t telling her. But, for now, her role was to fight in the BlackSand tournament in the morrow. And try to win. She didn’t mind playing along since Crowley had offered her something she couldn’t refuse.


Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:So the morning after Tabitha made her way to the sandy fighting pit, ready for the duel. Crowley’s was sitting in the audience right next to Shaman Azazel. “A great historian” she quickly thought as she walked towards the middle of the small arena. To her surprise, in front of her stood a Chaos Mage: Chaos Mage Miyo of the Wood, Azazel called her. “Oh this is such a treat…” Tabatha whispered in excitement “let’s put this black sand to a test.”

## From Shaman Azazel of the Astral Plane[edit | edit source]

“Fire magic...” Azazel thought “...I wonder why Crowley insisted to pair these two mages so early on in the tournament…”

Both wizards in the arena looked stunning. Such mix of power, beauty, and strength. The crowd was hypnotized by them. Azazel knew of Tabitha “what a powerful mage…!” But oddly enough he had never heard of Miyo. “She is young, her story still far from being told and written in history books…”

As soon as the two mages met in the middle of the arena, Azazel initiated the fight thinking: “what a fight this will be!”

In a matter of seconds both Miyo and Tabitha invoked flames around their hands. The crowd started cheering and clapping, amused. Miyo started running towards her opponent, trying to take advantage of her skills in close combat. But Tabitha seemed more focused on keeping her distance and hurled a fireball towards Miyo. Miyo promptly dodged, but that attack interrupted her charge. Tabitha launched another fireball, this time smaller but faster. Miyo was almost caught by surprise by that second attack and had to wave her right arm to quickly build a flame wall to parry it. The crowd went wild! “That flame wall is quite an advanced defense spell!” Azazel gasped.


Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:Tabitha smiled, looking at her opponent struggling to keep up. And she doubled down: “Fireih” she shouted and fired a sequence of five flaming bolts towards Miyo. Two bolts missed. Miyo fended off two more with similar magic. But the last one hit her right in the chest, violently hurling her to the floor.

The crowd gasped!

“Good fight….” Tabitha said as she moved towards her grounded opponent. But to everyone’s shock, Miyo quickly jumped back up “How…” Tabitha exclaimed in confusion. Miyo then brought her hands together and quickly whispered “Salamander’s Tongue!” A massive fireball erupted and hit Tabitha on her right shoulder. The aim wasn’t perfect, but the hit was heavy. Tabitha fell to the ground. Miyo took the opportunity to close the distance between them and run towards the opponent.

Tabitha just had enough time to stand up before Miyo attacked again: right jab, left hook, crescent kick. She hit Tabitha every time. Exasperated and hurt, Tabitha yelled, and a burst of fire exploded from her body enveloping Miyo. The crowd screamed in surprise as all that fire made the air hot and dry.

To the crowd and Tabitha’s surprise, Miyo was barely bruised by the attack. Tabitha tried to run back and put distance between them. But Miyo didn’t hesitate, invoked flames around her fists and started punching again. Right jab, left jab, right hook. She seemed unstoppable.


Title: The BlackSand Tournament I: Round I, Duel II; Content:Tabitha fell to the ground. Seemingly confused, she reached out to grab some black sand “what is she trying to do…” Azazel thought. But before she could grab any sand, Miyo hurled a massive pyroblast that hit Tabitha right in her chest. The black sand on the ground caught on fire wrapping Tabitha in tall, scorching flames. Tabitha screamed.

Two wizards wearing white robes rushed to the pit. They invoked massive streams of water and managed to tame the fire. They then headed towards Tabitha, who laid unconscious on the ground.

“The fight is over!” Azazel rushed to declare. “Chaos Mage Miyo of the Wood is our second winner!”

He then quickly turned to face Crowley: “Hurry, go make sure Tabitha is ok.”

Along with the current refresh of the page's general look, the team plans for additional changes. Elf says it is an ongoing effort. On the horizon for the website is a better Character Page as well as a "major facelift" of the Book of Lore to interact with Questing.

## Meetup in L.A.[edit | edit source]

Bearsnake joins in, and Elf asks about a get-together he is planning in Los Angeles next month.

> "The vibes will be high... We will definitely have a place to all hang out and enjoy each others' !magic"


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22; Content:Tentative date March 20-24. More details to come.

## Cult Questions[edit | edit source]

Warrior #10997, Amelia Axe of the Road

### Weaponless, Shieldless Warriors[edit | edit source]

The team then dives into Cult Questions, the first concerning Warriors with no weapon and no shield. Elf riffs on this momentarily and concludes that:

> "They are badasses who don't need a weapon or shield. They use their bare hands."

Dotta also confirms these Warriors cannot be used at the Forge. Nothing will happen. "No golden hands."

### 3D Models[edit | edit source]

A Preview of the V1 3D Rigs

The team then talks about the 3D models after a question comes up about the release date for the rest of the collection. Elf says middle to late March sounds doable, though early March may be possible. He also thanks all of the alpha testers again for the content they have made with the original batch of rigs. V2 of the rigs are in production now.

> "It's literally going to add a whole new dimension to the project."

Elf speaks to his interest in the topic of interoperability of the space and brings up the Nifty Island metaverse. Dotta mentions that Magic Machine wants to have its own "3D playground" eventually for games and experiences

Dotta continues:

> "I want us to focus on the characters and the world and the story, and we'll let other people build metaverses around it."

Elf notes that 3D Souls will follow the finished collection of 3D Wizards and shouldn't take as long, as the collection is smaller.

### Importance of Forgotten Souls[edit | edit source]


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22; Content:### Importance of Forgotten Souls[edit | edit source]

Elf then discusses the importance of Souls within Forgotten Runes, as he has heard that some community members feel Magic Machine doesn't give Souls enough attention.

Among other things, he notes that Souls have a prominent role in the upcoming TV show script.

Dotta adds:

> "To me they're the same...The Souls are the Souls of Wizards. The Warriors are something else."

### Battle for Goblin Town Scree List[edit | edit source]

A question about the Battle for Goblin Town Scree List comes up. The team keeps it brief. Dotta says enough people are trying to get on the Scree List and not to worry if you're a Forgotten Runes holder.

### Comic Book Issue #1[edit | edit source]

Forgotten Runes Wizards Cult Comic Issue 1 Cover

A question is asked about the release of the first issue of the Forgotten Runes comic. Dotta fills in for Bear and talks about the current search for a publisher and all of the trappings the come along with it. He says the team is working on frontloading content so that they will be able to release issues with a regular monthly cadence, when they come to a finalized publishing agreement. Until then, it may be Fall '23 before the next comic issue.

Bear returns and continues concerning the comic and the potential publisher, noting their history with many major IPs as well as a history publishing for popular video game IP.

> "I think we're set up for a lot of success."

### Runiverse Land Sale Market[edit | edit source]


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22; Content:### Runiverse Land Sale Market[edit | edit source]

The next question is about the Runiverse game land sale and how the market might look around it. Dotta speaks to the uniqueness of the plots in that they are not squares on a grid, but rather hand-painted to reflect the canonical map of the Runiverse. While he mentions that there will be different resources available from different plots, it seems that the actual location of the plot and even its neighboring locations will possibly play into desirability for certain pieces of land.

Bear talks about the balance that must be struck between onboarding web2 gamers while still providing value to players who are crypto-native. He says this has yet to have been done successfully. This is all an experiment within an experiment.

Elf says his dream scenario is that every web2 gamer that plays the Forgotten Runiverse game converts to web3 once they understand that their efforts can be realized and traded on the open market.

### Why RYF?[edit | edit source]

Next, Retired Yield Farmer asks, "Who is your favorite Cult member and why is it RYF?" Elf recounts some of RYF's successes and also gives a shout out to RYF's game currently in development with Loxley's Oracle.

### Hall of Cats[edit | edit source]

Dotta is asked about his brief stay in the Hall of Cats. He confirms he arrived only by accident and that he has no problem with Qeshmar.

### Nifty League[edit | edit source]

Bolodave.eth from Nifty League joins in as a special guest to talk about a collaboration with Forgotten Runes for their game, Nifty Smashers. When Bolodave.eth steps down, Elf once again asks about the Resurrection that took place this week.

## The Resurrection of Summoner Oberon of the Tundra[edit | edit source]


Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22

Title: Wizard Wednesday Recap, 2023-02-22; Content:## The Resurrection of Summoner Oberon of the Tundra[edit | edit source]

Summoner Oberon of the Tundra and Wraith Knight Oberon of the Chasm Now Exist in Tandem

### Technical Aspect[edit | edit source]

Dotta reveals an exploit found in the Wizard's minting contract that enabled a burned Wizard to be summoned again due to interaction with decrementing Wizard IDs after burning. The exploiter apparently used this tactic on multiple other projects before attempting with Forgotten Runes. They were only able to resurrect a single Wizard before Dotta was alerted. This will not be able to occur again. Minting from the contract has been fully stopped.

### Lore Aspect[edit | edit source]

After explaining the technical details, Dotta asks about the lore implications. The Soul and the Wizard now exist simultaneously.

Elf is tempted to blame this on the Quantum Shadow "because that is indeed what caused this" and compares it to an MLB card manufacturer error.

## Wizards are for Everyone[edit | edit source]

## Like wizard, buy wizard[edit | edit source]

The first description of Like Wizard, Buy Wizard by O, long-time cult moderator.

One of the first issues with the original Wizards collection was that the traits were non-randomly distributed. The distribution was influenced by the concept of Affinity, which was new to the general NFT scene at the time. When fellow wizards like TV, jintao and O discussed Affinities, O was the first to voice the Ethos of purchasing your Forgotten Runes identity based on more intangible parameters such as personal preference, perfectly encapsulated in the now widely accepted Ethos of Like Wizard, Buy Wizard.

## Lore, not floor[edit | edit source]

## Ours over Official[edit | edit source]

Decentralized worldbuilding can become a challenge to properly coordinate. While ElfJTrul slowly reveals locations, lore, and metanarrative about the Runiverse, holders are encourages to still build out their stories filling in blanks he's left behind. There isn't meant to be pressure on strictly conforming to the "officially" laid out narrative written out by ElfJTrul, and even the lore laid out by him is dynamically evolving alongside lore created from the Cult itself.

## The BlackSand Tournament[edit | edit source]

A once flourishing city on the coast of the Salt sea called BlackSand is now facing financial bankruptcy and has called upon a council of three wizards to try to turn things around. After long contemplation the councils decides to host a tournament. A fighting event to which warriors from any land would be invited to participate and win precious gold. This tournament was meant to attract travelers and merchants in order to reignite what was once a great trading hub. The council set out to advertise the tournament, sending ravens and messengers to several cities, and promised great prizes for whoever would be crowned champion. To their surprise sixteen contestants travelled to the village and signed up to compete. And so the first tournament started! This was the first step towards what they didn’t know would become the largest ever tournament in the Runiverse in the years to come.
