One of the fun aspects of this particular blog hosting site is that you can see how many people have been viewing your page, what particular sections they are reading, and, most impressive of all to somebody that probably isn't ever going to travel any more extensively than they already have, a glimpse into what … Continue reading What is the Deal with Chapter 5?

There is a First Time for Everything. And Eventually a Second.
Last night marked my first time as a player in Dungeons & Dragons for at least twenty years. It also marked the first time ever that one our group did the GMing, complete with coming up with his own unique world filled with custom-made villains. All told it was a raging success. The newbie Game … Continue reading There is a First Time for Everything. And Eventually a Second.
Tis the Season… to Write!
As my longsuffering workmates will doubtlessly confirm to their immense and growing delight, I am on vacation this week. And since I don't have to plan a game for the foreseeable future that frees up considerable time to work on book five in the problematically titled "Grundoon Series." Sadly it should also be noted that … Continue reading Tis the Season… to Write!
Keep an Eye on the New Kid
Last night's game wasn't a long session but it was certainly an active one. No fewer than three brand-new non-player characters were introduced to the group and the band of merry misadventurers finally made it "home" to the castle of their old friend the Marquis of Chute de l'Ombre. But there are two delightful details … Continue reading Keep an Eye on the New Kid
What Mystery Science Theater 3000 Can Teach Young Women

In it bad movies were made fun of and along the way valuable life lessons were imparted. Here are a few worthwhile pearls of wisdom for young ladies such as my … Continue reading What Mystery Science Theater 3000 Can Teach Young Women
Game Called on Account of Life
Nothing is more frustrating than to have to put on hold a perfectly good D&D game because real life intrudes and insists upon itself. This week it is inventory, and in two weeks it will be inventory at another branch of our company. Neither of these is an acceptable reason for us to miss out … Continue reading Game Called on Account of Life
That is a lot of dead Lizard
Let's hear it for the dames! Without a proper warrior of any kind, and without significant sorcery, the self-described "Badass Bitches" took on and took down Druuna, the green dragon that ruled Forêt Verte. This was the longest battle against a single enemy I have ever been a party to, and it went badly for … Continue reading That is a lot of dead Lizard
This will be one Memorable Night
There is a certain hilarity in how the world conspires to make our lives interesting. Last week the my D&D group decided to go ahead and tackle the green dragon that has been making their lives miserable. She is a cantankerous soul who has a penchant for harboring grudges that she is reluctant to let … Continue reading This will be one Memorable Night
Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…
One of the most hilarious and often overlooked aspects of any D&D game is what might be happening at the player's home base of operations while the adventurers are out looking for trouble. An old Slothjemian proverb goes, "If you go seeking danger, you will find it. If you are patient, danger will come seeking … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch…
Feedback Accepted!
Thank you everyone that checked in on the premiere of book three yesterday. I can see from the numbers that there were quite a number of newcomers, and several views of Chapter 1 of "Fight, Swear, Loathe" that I am especially appreciative of. One dear soul even went so far as to reach out and … Continue reading Feedback Accepted!
