Uncertain as to the time when they awoke, the two women had stirred at almost the exact same time. Cinder had been bouncing about already, her whiskers twitching furiously as she explored the area around where the adventurers slept. Belynda prepared a quick meal, and then helped gird Hilde in her armor. They didn’t have … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 16
“Ok, you prepare to attack with your sword and…. let’s stop there for the night.”
Last night marks the first time that I have ever ended a weekly game during a battle. Not hardly ideal but time had been creeping up on us and before we realized it 10:30pm rolled around and players started turning into pumpkins. The bard and one of the rogues were the first to abandon the game, … Continue reading “Ok, you prepare to attack with your sword and…. let’s stop there for the night.”
There are Worse Things. Of course, nothing comes to mind at the moment…
This is an auspicious day here at Slothjemian Tales. You might say we are celebrating an anniversary of sorts. In fact, it is such a momentous occasion that we are going to go ahead and give everyone that peruses this blog a little insight as to the inner workings of how the game world is … Continue reading There are Worse Things. Of course, nothing comes to mind at the moment…
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 15
It took quite a while for the great device clicking away in the bowels of the earth to complete its task, but when it did, Hilde and Belynda were both duly impressed. A great iron cauldron sort of bowl rose up from the pit, and on one side was a large platform apparently for workers … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 15
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 14
Releasing the rope as it swung out, Hilde yanked it back and snagged the next chain. If nothing else was to come of this exercise, she was getting really good at this. She pulled the rope towards her, and grabbed the chain, once more setting the hook on the edge of the chute behind her. … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 14
That Worked Really Well!
For the first time ever there was a successful switch between Game Masters in what essentially is the same game world in a game I was a part of. What made it the most awesome was that we kept our own characters, and the respective Game Masters didn't have to relinquish control over the NPCs … Continue reading That Worked Really Well!
Four Days and the Vote is in…
The poll has been up for a full four days now, and votes have been pouring in. By that we mean, one person voted. They voted their conscience, and in a democracy this is the most highly lauded act a soul can undertake in worldly affairs. And so we are pleased to announce that there … Continue reading Four Days and the Vote is in…
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 13
In the morning, the household awoke and began to set to doing the day’s work. Belynda bundled up Cinder, and tucked her into her cloak. Nathalie and Hilde got the donkey into its harness, and then saddled up Tinza. The cart already had all of the baggage on it, so it wasn’t long before they … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 13
Book Six
The only thing worse for a writer than having no ideas is having too many ideas. I have a terrible habit of writing down story ideas both for gaming and writing and leaving them scattered about my home. I am trying to break myself of this habit by using cloud-based technology (what an age to … Continue reading Book Six
Clues Hidden in Plain Sight
The hallmark of any failed blog is when you post pertinent information therein and literally nobody in your circle of influence even notices. "I wonder why Chip is so depressed lately." Might have something to do with the daily posts on his blog where he talks in gruesome detail about how utterly alone he feels … Continue reading Clues Hidden in Plain Sight
