Questions 3 and a Look Back at ‘Sleeper of the Wildwood Fugue’

Sleeper of the Wildwood Fugue had a lot going on.  The big thing was introducing Dariana, who was the final champion.  I was going to make her origins a big reveal later, but realized that it might be more interesting to … Continue reading

Questions 3 and a Look Back at ‘Curse of the Dark Wind’

This book tends to get lost in the shuffle at times.  Curse of the Dark Wind didn’t introduce any new, long-standing characters.  Part of this might have been because this was when the game started crumbling.  So, I was struggling to move … Continue reading

Questions 3 and Looking Back at ‘The Compass Key’

Legends of Windemere: The Compass Key was an odd book for me to write.  In terms of the game, it covers half of one campaign and the entire one after.  This meant the previous volume ended on a cliffhanger.  I really … Continue reading

Discovering a New Land in Fiction

The exploration of a new land is kind of a staple in fantasy adventures.  We don’t really pay much attention to it unless it’s the main plot of the story.  It’s usually seen as a shift to a new location … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Aedyn Karwyn

Aedyn began like Fritz and Nimby as another player’s character in the game.  There was a big difference between him and them.  The guy playing Aedyn was more into the mechanics of the game than the character.  So, Aedyn wasn’t … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Mab the Dark Mistress

Mab is the only character from War of Nytefall who has already been introduced to readers.  She appeared in Legends of Windemere: The Mercenary Prince and kind of helped Delvin.  This showed an older, more mature, not as friendly version of this … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Clyde

(Note: The core cast of War of Nytefall had their origin posts done prior to the release of the first book.  So, it’s kind of interesting to see how I pitched them.) War of Nytefall is very much about Clyde because he … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Dariana

(I know I had this going in May and then took a 3 month hiatus to promote Do I Need to Use a Dragon?  So, I’m hoping just jumping right back into things is okay.  I only made it through 5 … Continue reading

Poetry Day: Fall of the Dragon

(This type of poem is called a Sestina.  It has six stanzas with six lines each.  The final word of each line is reused until each one has been in each position.  I loved the challenge of this type of … Continue reading

Poetry Day: Dungeon Crawlers

(I’ve played so many D&D games that involved dungeon crawling.  Shouldn’t be a surprise since it’s in the title.  The reasons always differed, but we always found our way into some kind of dungeon.) In search of fame and fortune … Continue reading
