Scenario: Using Spells in a Big Battle

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

This scenario does give you a lot more personality leeway than the previous one.  I want to see if leaving it more flexible will be easier than making people be in a very strict role.  So, here we go again. … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Advice from a Friendly Stranger

Posted on August 30, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

I have to admit that this was one of my favorite scenes to write.  It’s nothing more than a conversation between Darwin and a mysterious stranger.  Good amount of humor and it gets the plot pointed in a specific direction.  … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: A Merchant and His Assassin

Posted on August 23, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

I haven’t really highlighted any of the villains.  One needs to remain a secret, but I have these two fun ones.  Really enjoyed writing Urian Coy because I don’t get to do pompous merchants as often as I’d like.  Eris … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: The Magical Mayhem of Darwin

Posted on August 16, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz
