“Everyone to their places. Have your conjurer start to summoning. I’ll go see if we have a viable plan to clear a path to the castle.” Grundoon said, and he began to walk briskly back towards the Judicial Corp side of the horseshoe shaped forest. As he walked quickly, Grundoon kept looking towards the castle … Continue reading The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 33
Common Cause
There are precious few things that unite the various nations of the continent, and that includes the largely impotent international influence of the Church. One of the most effective forces that holds the most powerful states together is the Council of Schönbrunn. The major powers of Geldenreich, Fanolania, and Lusatia founded this somewhat informal alliance … Continue reading Common Cause
Infamous Villains: the Viceroy
The Diosian Lodge is hardly the terrifying powerhouse of political and military intrigue that it was immediately following the fall of the last Imperium, and yet it does find ways to meddle in the affairs of it's neighbors, and even more distant states. Rarely is this manifested by one of the lich lords themselves, or … Continue reading Infamous Villains: the Viceroy
The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 32
Grundoon woke up before the sun rose, and while he knew from experience that sleeping in his armor meant waking up with sore muscles and weary bones, it also meant not wasting precious time getting ready for a fight. He checked to see if Jandle was still asleep, and he was, so he shook the … Continue reading The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 32
The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 31
The four soldiers quickly bundled up their tarpaulins and saddled their horses. Unlike the uniforms of regular soldiers, theirs had purple trim instead of red. They were not as heavily trained for combat duty as regular troops, but they were terribly motivated, and passionately loyal. It only took a few minutes for them to be … Continue reading The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 31
What else has this Dame starred in?
One of my favorite things to do is to cross over characters from our D&D games into the nerd fiction I write, and take some of those characters that I created in nerd fiction and cross them over into my D&D games. And rarely, I like to include some of the more memorable player characters … Continue reading What else has this Dame starred in?
It’s Complicated
One of the hallmarks of any D&D game that I have run, and most every story I have written, is that there seems to be an awful lot going on. It is never a straight-forward quest or simple endeavor. Players looking for a "let's go kill an ogre" style game are instead subjected to "let's … Continue reading It’s Complicated
A little Gnome goes a loooong ways
The chaotic and irresistibly festive land of Chute de l'Ombre has it's fair share of oddball people. Nothing less can be expected from a place so heavily populated by gnomes. But every so often a gnome sets themselves apart by virtue of their personality, reckless behavior, or a combination of both. Such is the case … Continue reading A little Gnome goes a loooong ways
The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 30
Jandle got out the deck of cards again, and the party spent the evening playing games. It was lighthearted, and no scores were kept, at least not officially. The primary topic of conversation was how difficult it was to get used to not being nocturnal any more. Targul and his friends still hated the daylight, … Continue reading The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 30
The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 29
Dawn discovered Brakoff cold, but the sky was clear. The only clouds to be seen were hovering around the peaks south of the city. Kreg had readied the sleighs, and the party had gathered for their next adventure. Trangdor was going along, just in case there were people to talk with, and notes to be … Continue reading The Governor-General’s Oath; Chapter 29
