Posted on February 6, 2013 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 →

Posted on February 3, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

The ground rushes to meet her beautiful face after Sari trips over a tree root that she couldn’t see through her tears. Dirt joins the twigs and leaves that are caught in the dark blue waterfall of hair that cascades … Continue reading →

Fritz Warrenberg

Posted on January 31, 2013 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 →

All about the Women

Posted on January 16, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I grew up with comic books, cartoons, and fantasy novels, so the concept of the female protagonist was a little skewed.  They were the busty battlers (Wonder Woman), the agile acrobats (Teela from He-Man), or some type of spellcaster that … Continue reading →

The Confusing Conundrum a.k.a. My Wishy-Washy Brain

Posted on January 12, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Somewhere between writing a tense scene of traveling through a graveyard and a fun scene of a villain gloating while getting mocked, I came up with an idea.  Well, not an idea, but a thought that might be an idea … Continue reading →

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 →

Crushers of Souls and Puppies

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I read a post about the characteristics of heroes and it got me thinking about the other side of the equation.  How do you write a good villain?  I always had more interest in villains than heroes because I realized … Continue reading →
