It is time once again for another sale over at the TeePublic site, so this is the time to once again binge and buy half a dozen Slothjemian shirts.

Let the Rewrites Commence!
Having given up Facebook recently, I find that I have a good deal more time on my hands for the things that still don't matter, and yet seem more important because my primary distraction has been eliminated. Rather than spend countless hours browsing pictures of other people's vacations, watching their romances flourish and wither, and … Continue reading Let the Rewrites Commence!
In my defense, I had asked for an editor…
When I decided to go ahead and write what would become a four-book saga detailing the exploits of an orcish general, I asked a number of people to read it and give me some feedback and maybe some notes on editing. I asked one of my cousins, a friend from college, my step-daughter, my wife, … Continue reading In my defense, I had asked for an editor…
The Curious Things and Treacherous People
The game of D&D and the writings that can be inspired by it are often filled with twisting plots, filled with shifty, mysterious and enigmatic characters. The plans employed by villains to accomplish some nefarious end are met with cunning ploys imagined by the players to confound the machinations of evil, each more cleverly concocted … Continue reading The Curious Things and Treacherous People
Thundersticks & Blunderbuss
Firearms are not common in Domum, the world in which Slothjemia resides, but they do pop up from time to time in the most interesting places. Some nations have sizeable amounts of the devastating weapons, which even in the most primitive forms, pose the potential for great damage to enemies and operators alike. Slothjemia has … Continue reading Thundersticks & Blunderbuss
A Brief History of the Red Guard
The Slothjemian Army has three different armies designated as Guards, and they are titled after the colors in the Slothjemian flag. The most battle-hardened of these are the Red Guards, and their reputation is well earned and firmly established. Since their formation, the Red Guards have seen action in every war Slothjemia has been in, … Continue reading A Brief History of the Red Guard
We Resist Stereotypes Here
Like most things in the world in which Slothjemia is set, sweeping generalities about races (other than goblinoids, which we have already discussed at length) are disregarded almost entirely. The information provided in the AD&D 2nd Edition Monstrous Compendiums is relevant for determining the overall alignment leaning for the critters and folks therein described, but as … Continue reading We Resist Stereotypes Here
Vorkelvale Orchards
There is something intoxicating about seeing your creativity transformed into artwork. The same talented woman that designed the "Slothjemian Tales" emblem (available for sale on shirts, hoodies, notebooks, and tapestries) did up this poster for me. I get such a kick out of it, I really do. The idea that something completely made up by … Continue reading Vorkelvale Orchards
Lord Minter; Keeper of the Currency
One might think of the Royal Slothjemian Mint as merely the place that new coins are made. While this is the primary job of the facility, it is by no means restricted to being just a cash factory. All sorts of things are made here, and it is the job of the Lord Minter to … Continue reading Lord Minter; Keeper of the Currency
“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.”
