Getting out my beloved signage kit is the best thing about these announcement posts. Still get an unreasonable amount of joy from seeing my titles in this format. Anyhow this is the next book, due to begin next Monday. We here at Slothjemian Ventures certainly do hope you enjoy it and we look forward to … Continue reading And the Next Book is…

“What Were You Really Doing?”
After a restless night of trying to sleep (I sprained a neck muscle a few weeks back and it has resulted in chaos all down my left arm and shoulder) I awoke fairly early this morning and noticed that WordPress had dutifully sent me an alert noting that my latest post had published. This is … Continue reading “What Were You Really Doing?”
In Praise of Mother
Mother's Day has rolled around once again here in the United States, and at the time of this writing hordes of children are either bringing their mommies breakfast in bed or, if they are all grown up, clogging every brunch location within a 50 mile radius to celebrate the innumerable pains suffered by family matriarchs … Continue reading In Praise of Mother
“It was a Monster… now it is a Wolf”
There is no denying the inherent charisma of the man that owns "The Howler House" inn and tavern in the rapidly redeveloping town of Resurrection. His full name is Gustav Grosserhund, but he insists that everyone call him Gus. He keeps a lively place in the middle of the town where the booze is cheap … Continue reading “It was a Monster… now it is a Wolf”
Almost Time for a New Book!
The conclusion of "Fight, Swear, Loathe" is only two weeks away now. I have gotten a fair amount of positive feedback from this story (granted only from one person, but still it was positive) and I am optimistic that the next one will also be received (again, probably only by the same one person that … Continue reading Almost Time for a New Book!
Too Much of a Good Thing
Players of Dungeons & Dragons have a lot of grand reasons to enjoy the game. Escapism, social interaction, lots of shiny colorful dice, opportunities to solve problems and expand your imaginative creativity; the list is nearly endless. Probably one of the most frequently cited aspects that makes the game appealing is the idea that you … Continue reading Too Much of a Good Thing
Are You Ready for MORE Von Vorkel?
The fourth book in the Von Vorkel series is even now being scheduled for posting in this blog. I can feel your excitement from here. And that means only three more chapters to go in "Fight, Swear, Loathe" which places the conclusion of that story right before my daughter's birthday. Gonna be a heckuva week … Continue reading Are You Ready for MORE Von Vorkel?
Lich vs. Orcs
A cursory glance at the Monstrous Compendium entry for "lich" reveals that this is a spectacularly dangerous creature. But players are often lulled into a false sense of security when confronting these powerful undead spellcasters. They might have a magic sword, for instance, that negates magic cast at a level equal to the wielder. But … Continue reading Lich vs. Orcs
Change is Inevitable, but this is Ridiculous!
After changing jobs and dealing with needing to move a couple of miles away in a month or so the D&D game I run has been on hiatus for the last month and a half. We had to move our game day and everything so that was a bit of upheaval. To top it all … Continue reading Change is Inevitable, but this is Ridiculous!
Tales of the Wandering Royalty
Quirky non-player characters are the bread and butter of any good game, and if they are properly employed throughout a story they can make even a mediocre campaign great. They have all of the elements of a running gag, inside joke, and can serve as either an ally or a foil (in some circumstances both … Continue reading Tales of the Wandering Royalty
