I'm running late with my writing today. I had planned to get a lot done and throw up something before my parents arrived for a visit. But they were a little early and I was a little slow. So the M post will be a little delayed, but hopefully up later today. I'm hoping I … Continue reading Delayed post due to lack of keyboard and busy day
L is for: Lizardfolk
Bred to be the enforcers of the will of the Oon, the Lizardfolk once ruled over the largest empire of the known world.

K is for: Kingsmeet
The town of Kingsmeet sits on a natural ford in the Edanu.

The town is … Continue reading K is for: Kingsmeet
J is for: Jhomal ab-Braetha, Agent of the Willow Court
"My name is Jhomal. For several years now, my life has not been my own. I was once a petty thief, but I had dreams. I travelled, trying to keep ahead of any bad reputations. I changed my name more than once, for what little good it did me in the end. When they caught … Continue reading J is for: Jhomal ab-Braetha, Agent of the Willow Court
Broken keyboard
Hey everyone. I came home to a broken keyboard on my laptop. Basically the middle row of keys has stopped working except g and h. I'm going to try and kludge something together now, probably involving writing on my phone with the post I started earlier in the day. But I might have to try … Continue reading Broken keyboard
I is for: Istan
Once often called the Green River Cities, the continent of Istan is now a desolate wasteland strewn with memories of past glory. Istan was always a land of feuding tribes, and later feuding cities. Facing oncoming conquest from the ancient Lizardfolk Empire, the Kingdoms of Istan put aside their differences and sued for a peaceful … Continue reading I is for: Istan

F is for: Forgotten Gods
Over the course of history, many gods have risen, and so too many have fallen. Forgotten gods are those gods who have been left behind by the world.

The great river Edanu flows from the high western peaks of the Drakeback mountains down across the plains of the Old Crown, finally flowing out to the ocean via the Whorl and the great bay of Queenstown.

D is for: Daebru, daimon, jinn and other spirits
Sit down, child. We'll begin your lesson with talk of the spirits. The spirits have lots of names. Spirits, jinn, daebru, peria, and of course daimon. But each of them are very different forms of spirits. All spirits live in another place, a world separate to ours. To them we are shadows flickering by, and … Continue reading D is for: Daebru, daimon, jinn and other spirits
C is for: City of Festivals
The distant City of Festivals lies across the Eastern Sea from Queenstown.

New look blog
Felt like changing things up a bit. I might try a few new looks or I might just stick with this one. All feedback welcome.
A is for: Arcanists
After years of quiet and careful study, Arcanists are able to manipulate magikal energy.

Only the most legendary Arcanists has ever been … Continue reading A is for: Arcanists

International Tabletop Day!
I've yet to actually sit down and play games on an International Tabletop Day. Usually I get pretty close, and play the day after, or at least the same week. My regular D&D game is tomorrow, and we're going to play for the first time in about three weeks, even though we're down a player … Continue reading International Tabletop Day!
Three month gap
So it's been almost three months since my last blog post. I'm really terrible at keeping these things going sometimes. I am resolving to kick this back into gear though. So, what's going on? Playing through the Lost Mines of Phandelvar adventure for D&D 5E with my usual group. And I'm PLAYING, not DMing, which … Continue reading Three month gap
