Heraldry in Slothjemia is a very basic, yet colorful affair. There are so many knights and nobles, and from so many homelands, that a code to simplify the many coats of arms was set out to keep things orderly. The notched shield is the hallmark of all Slothjemian heraldic devices, and there are a number … Continue reading Rule of Tincture? Never heard of her….

Sex and the Single Ghoul
One of the issues readers might have about my writing is whether or not my stories have any sexual content. The short answer is no. The long answer is that I am not writing literotica, therefore readers need not worry about being subjected to awkward turns of phrase such as "unsheathed his sword" or "meaty … Continue reading Sex and the Single Ghoul
Liches and the Like
In the story thus far, readers have seen "liches" mentioned. What, they might be asking, are those? A lich is an undead spellcaster, possibly a priest but more likely a wizard. There are rumors of psionic liches as well, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. At any rate, liches are vile, disgusting, horrific, and … Continue reading Liches and the Like
Job Opening: Doppelgangers need not apply
Critics of Slothjemia make a pretty big deal about how inclusive the place is, letting in all of the riff-raff and using their skills and wickedness to attack outsiders. But not everyone is welcome with open arms in the land of the swamp orcs. And some folks are killed on sight because they are viewed … Continue reading Job Opening: Doppelgangers need not apply
Short Chapters, so you feel like you’ve accomplished something
Fear not, intrepid readers! Not every chapter in this saga is as short as these first two. Granted, I do aim for a "two page" minimum because as novel as it is to have a chapter consist of three words, it doesn't propel a story so much as flail about trying to make a bold … Continue reading Short Chapters, so you feel like you’ve accomplished something
An Orc For All Seasons; Chapter 2
Squires hold a unique and, some might say, exaggerated role among the aristocracy of Slothjemia. A hybrid “jack-of-all-trades”, squires are instrumental in helping every knight (shr) and dame (shar) that carry on the long tradition of noble questing. Every ruler of Slothjemia has gone on a quest, some more devoted to the pastime than others, … Continue reading An Orc For All Seasons; Chapter 2
The Clan of the what, now?
Following the longstanding tradition of goblinoid tribal identity, Slothjemians, regardless of racial background, proudly declare themselves as members of the Clan of the Midnight Skull. It isn't exactly a classic Disney sort of name, but remember that it originated as a swamp orc designation. Jors tend to embrace dark and morbid themes. Had they been … Continue reading The Clan of the what, now?
It Only Smells Evil
It seems an odd thing to have to say, but being a Christian does not preclude taking part in roleplaying games. If Christians can sit down and play Monopoly, a board game designed to encourage players to embrace wholeheartedly the love of money, then they can certainly be trusted to pretend they are gnomes trying … Continue reading It Only Smells Evil

Don’t I know that guy…?
There are a lot of people that role-played in the world of Slothjemia over the years. And by a lot, I mean probably around twenty. That may not seem like a lot, but if you ever served on any kind of committee, you know that having up to twelve people at one time trying to … Continue reading Don’t I know that guy…?
