Here’s another excerpt from Quest of the Brokenhearted and it’s the introduction of a fun supporting character.  Lacarsis was a monster-making playground for me and I needed to think of a great way to start the tournament.  For some reason, this … Continue reading →

Teaser Tuesday: Battling the Unseen

Posted on September 10, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Here’s part of one of my favorite battles in Quest of the Brokenhearted.  Coming up with fun and unique fights for Kira Grasdon was a challenge.  Thankfully, monsters have a lot of versatility if you don’t stick to the traditionals.
