Gryphon Hall - Episode 1 - Introduction

Let’s start at the very beginning… a very good place to start. This is where I explain my vision and the method behind my apparent madness. I expect this to be a (very) long term project. I hope you find some or all of the content to be entertaining and/or informative. Eventually, Gryphon Hall will be a functional manor/country house at the center of a growing and functional steampunk(ish) world.

Below is the list of mods that I have enabled for this world. All of them are available on Forge. That’s where I got them. I will be running this world with my preferred resource pack as well: Lithos HD/32 (also available on Forge). I have also begun to create my own personal resource pack that fills in the gaps from Lithos. This new resource pack is not publicly available.

Miscellaneous
Music

Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including a general Ragtime link.

 

Additional music was obtained from RagsRag.com, a site run by Ragnar Hellspong of Krusenberg, Sweden. He has spent considerable time collecting Ragtime resources and has graciously made them freely available on his site. Please take a look.
