WIP Update – 07 Dec 24
I didn’t make any story progress, but I spent a lot of time in the peripheral materials for the WttW series, particularly plugging in the weights and measures system into the spreadsheet. I’ll be posting a simplified version of this in the appendices later. The system used in the World is a hybrid of Roman and traditional English units, so there’s a bit of difference between the units used and the ones you know. For instance, an Axian inch, like the Roman one, is 2.46cm rather than the 2.54cm US inch. One thing I had to go back and change in the item list was all capacity references using liters (which was a placeholder for convenience). You see, I set a block of storage at half a liter mainly because I started with accounting for water storage first. A pint is close enough, though in the current system, the dry pint is less than that and a fluid pint is more, but it’s a workable compromise. I was then trying to edit some of the assorted containers. I want to arrange the storage blocks in three dimensions, which means the actual capacity doesn’t always quite match, but if you’ve studies traditional measures, you know there was historically a lot of shenanigans involved. Anyway, this is the sort of thing I do with my free time. Expect more of this to continue. Stay tuned.
