That's my little girl, showing off her Slothjemian Tales shirt while she waltzes her way through year two of University. Very proud of her, and pleased that she inherited a bit of fantastic whimsy from her goofy old man. She'll make a fine Queen.
Comedic Interlude
“I’m not from around here.”
All across the Wenigzustand, and at every level of almost every society, you may encounter someone who is as intriguing as they are worrisome. In virtually all of these encounters, the person with whom you are interacting is going to say "I'm not from around here", either word-for-word or in some variation that has the … Continue reading “I’m not from around here.”
High Fantasy, Low Fantasy, and Whatever the Heck This is Supposed to Be
Folks that are big fans of categorizing things have a lot of fun with fictional material. What genre is this? Does this count as high fantasy, such as J.R.R. Tolkien's writings, or low fantasy, like the works of K.J. Parker? People might just as easily be asking "who in the hell is K.J. Parker?" Beats … Continue reading High Fantasy, Low Fantasy, and Whatever the Heck This is Supposed to Be
Jivet-au-Marruse
Last night marked the first time that I played D&D with a group of people since my beloved daughter took a crack at the game many years ago. Surprising to some, the adventure is not being set in Slothjemia. I know, it is like having a Star Wars movie with nobody wasting half of the film … Continue reading Jivet-au-Marruse
The Enduring Allure of Slothjemia
There is something wonderful about the notion of Slothjemia. There have been a few people that have played campaigns in Slothjemia that have compared it (favorably, I would hope) to America, but that analogy isn't entirely accurate or deserved. But it is a place in which folks that are cast out of otherwise decent countries, … Continue reading The Enduring Allure of Slothjemia
First Time?
It was way back in 1989 when I first took a shot at playing Dungeons and Dragons. More specifically, it was AD&D 2nd Edition. Nerds adore specificity, you know. Anyway, the first game master was my high school chum and college roommate, Bernie. It was my first time trying D&D, so we enlisted the help … Continue reading First Time?
Writing Update
After much lollygagging and a delightful weekend of shirking, we are pleased to announce that "The Governor-General's Oath" is now edited within an inch of it's life. I realize that those of you that have been reading along are probably wondering "how is this edited? It still looks like a trainwreck." Shows how much you … Continue reading Writing Update
Something Ain’t Right About Him…
In the small, fortified city of Summit Village, there is a person quite unique in the realm. Often referred to as the "Red Devil" or the "Sprocket King", his name is actually Charlier Tasanova. Hailing from this same town as his ancestors, Charlier is handily the most cheerful dwarf one could ever hope to encounter. … Continue reading Something Ain’t Right About Him…
The Wicked Pixie
In the capital of Slothjemia, the towering fortified city of Jordrakenschloss, there are literally thousands of people working for the Royal Bureaucratic Council. If you have been reading this blog, you know that the heads of various departments, or offices, within this council are powerful individuals. But there are always those in the lower ranks … Continue reading The Wicked Pixie
You’d Think They’d Be Used to This By Now
Winter is almost always harsh in Slothjemia, with cold northern winds and heavy snowfall throughout the alpine areas of the country. In the plains it is the ice that causes the most trouble, and after eons of this weather activity, you would think that the natives would have fully acclimated to it by now. You … Continue reading You’d Think They’d Be Used to This By Now
