In the heart of Oublier is the huge city of Bozageest, the largest orc city on the surface of the continent outside of Slothjemia. Unnervingly close to Fanolania, the orcs of Oublier have concentrated all of their cunning and martial ability in the construction and defense of Bozageest. With a towering palace in the center … Continue reading That… is an Unnatural Odor

Wear it with Pride
A friend of mine from way back in high school and college did me a solid favor and came up with a spiffy design for t-shirts, and also looks good on mugs, phone cases, and my personal favorite, a onesie. Sadly the onesie doesn't come in adult sizes. Which is really a shame, because I … Continue reading Wear it with Pride
How Not to be Seen
Something like a ranger, but with a decidedly sinister frame of mind, the Huntsman is a warrior with many of a thief's skills. Most of them are encountered as NPCs (non-player characters) for reasons that will become self-evident. While they can work well with a party, their outlook on life means that unless the group … Continue reading How Not to be Seen
Continental Excursions; Maelonbourg
For a long time one of the wealthiest and most successful of the Wenigzustand, the small nations that lie north of Geldenreich and east of Fanolania, Maelonbourg has fallen on hard times. Governed for generations by elves of somber and intelligent inclinations, an outsider to the land began to sow discontent by insidious means. In … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Maelonbourg
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
Continental Excursions; Fanolania
While it doesn't border Slothjemia, or even any of Slothjemia's immediate neighbors, the Kingdom of Fanolania is a powerful entity on the continent of Partum. Unlike the primarily human Geldenreich, Fanolania enjoys a largely homogenous political environment. Fanolania is also the most stable country in the continent, having had the same king for almost one … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Fanolania
The Phantom Legion
While not a large force, the Phantom Legion is the personal bodyguard of Slothjemia's monarch. All members are invited to serve by the commander of the legion, and are drawn from among the various military units of Slothjemia. Such invitations are extended to those that exemplify the best qualities of honesty, integrity, self-sacrifice, and valor¹. … Continue reading The Phantom Legion
Recalculating Route
One of the most enduring, and seldom explored mysteries, within Dungeons and Dragons is "where do all of the elves go when they get old?" Considering that players will explore damn near everything that happens in a game, from what might be lurking in the bottom of a village well to how to reverse a … Continue reading Recalculating Route
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
