Page Under Construction

This page is a placeholder for future expansion, and the content is all very "first-draft."
This page will host tools to help you quickly build and document your own custom game world. You may also wish to use one of the official Houndsong settings, or check out our Community Spotlight page for non-Houndsong, Relict-compatible content. 
!!! READ THIS !!! - The concept here is that users will be able to fill out short forms (via Google Forms or other mechanism) full of open prompts, multiple-choice questions, checklists, and "things to consider" when creating a new game setting, and then save their answers. 

Topics below are a starting point for our Discord to springboard off and run with.
​I'm setting up some cloud docs to start building these out in detail, bear with me folks.
