The Grapevine Gazette - Issue #9

Welcome to the ninth issue of the Grapevine Gazette.

We’re finally back! I took a bit of a break for life reasons, and I’m ready to get rolling on this newsletter and more again.

If you run a game and have updates or upcoming events send them in for inclusion. And don’t forget to sign your game up for Grapevine!

Join us over at the MUD Coders Guild on Slack.

I started a new project in Elixir, called Kalevala [ˈkɑle̞ʋɑlɑ]. This takes lessons learned from ExVenture and do it “properly” this time. The goal is to make Kalevala a toolkit instead of an all-in-one like ExVenture is.

This will make it more similar to Ranvier or Evennia, and easily let a bunch of weird games be made from this. ExVenture isn’t going anywhere and will eventually use Kalevala under the hood.
