Posted on April 23, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Back to the temples in Tribe of the Snow Tiger. This is the 10th volume of Legends of Windemere and started feeling like the homestretch. At least, as far as the writing side goes. Probably felt more like Act 4 of the … Continue reading →

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

Posted on March 19, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

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’

Posted on March 12, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

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 →

Posted on February 20, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Revisiting Origins: Fizzle

Posted on September 12, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Posted on June 30, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz
