Posted on December 2, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

I took all of November to try and think of promos to set up.  I might use the rest of December’s Tuesday to be silly or maybe do simple series promos.  There are 4 more after today, which will cover … Continue reading →

Is There a Trend of Revamping Villains?

Posted on July 1, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Maybe it’s primarily a Disney thing, but I’ve noticed a lot of movies where classic villains are given origins.  This ends up making them sympathetic characters and explains why they’re bad.  It even goes so far as to say they … Continue reading →

Would you believe he first appeared on this blog in April of 2013?  Well he did and here’s the post. Originally Ichabod Jones, he started as a name that I couldn’t get out of my head.  I decided to peek down … Continue reading →

Origins Revisited: Gabriel the God of Destiny

Posted on December 5, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Weaver of Destiny.  Lord of Hell.  Father of the Song Casters.  The Tri-God.  This guy has a lot of names that I haven’t even discovered yet.  Now, it is awkward doing an origin for Gabriel because he’s all me and … Continue reading →

Revisiting Origins: Fritz Warrenberg

Posted on November 14, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Fritz was played by my friend Nate.  Beyond that I’m not really sure where to begin with him.  He is a gnome who is an inventor, illusionist, monster chronicler, and purveyor of fair maidens’ affections.  In the actual game, there … Continue reading →

Revisiting Origins: Nimby

Posted on November 7, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

It’s interesting that this charming, friendly halfling thief became such an integral part to my series.  I hate to say this about the little guy, but he is rather cliche.  Yet, there is something mysterious and dangerous about him that … Continue reading →

Revisiting Origins: Lost the Princess General

Posted on October 24, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Of course, Lost is essential to War of Nytefall: Lost since her name is the title. This is a character who I’ve been wanting to introduce for a long time, but I came up with an idea that forced me … Continue reading →

This was a character who joined War of Nytefall later than many of the others, but has risen pretty high up the ranks. In the book, Xavier Tempest is a nobleman that would hire Clyde to help him and has … Continue reading →

Revisiting Origins: Mab the Dark Mistress

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

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

Posted on October 3, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

(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 →
