One of my favorite things to do is to cross over characters from our D&D games into the nerd fiction I write, and take some of those characters that I created in nerd fiction and cross them over into my D&D games. And rarely, I like to include some of the more memorable player characters … Continue reading What else has this Dame starred in?
Story Notes
It’s Complicated
One of the hallmarks of any D&D game that I have run, and most every story I have written, is that there seems to be an awful lot going on. It is never a straight-forward quest or simple endeavor. Players looking for a "let's go kill an ogre" style game are instead subjected to "let's … Continue reading It’s Complicated
A little Gnome goes a loooong ways
The chaotic and irresistibly festive land of Chute de l'Ombre has it's fair share of oddball people. Nothing less can be expected from a place so heavily populated by gnomes. But every so often a gnome sets themselves apart by virtue of their personality, reckless behavior, or a combination of both. Such is the case … Continue reading A little Gnome goes a loooong ways
Maelonbourg; Under New Management
Events in Maelonbourg (original flag shown to the right) have created quite a stir in the western portion of the Wenigzustand. Colldrenia, the malicious and craven woman that usurped the power of the rightful king and ushered in an age of violent chaos had been killed by an intrepid band of adventurers. Her castle demolished … Continue reading Maelonbourg; Under New Management
Notable NPCs; Colonel Ulthar von Gheistler
Readers might recognize the description of Colonel Ulthar von Gheistler as fitting that curious band of powerful villains from the "Dragonlance" stories and the D&D gaming world of the same name, the fallen heroes known as "Death Knights." In many ways these fellows can be loosely described as being Darth Vader-ish in both appearance and mannerisms; … Continue reading Notable NPCs; Colonel Ulthar von Gheistler
Monarch’s Updated
The former kings of Slothjemia section has been updated to include Manfriedreich IV, the father of the current Empress, Reichsha. Sometime in the not too distant future she will also be added to the list. It should be noted that virtually all of the D&D games we played in college took place during the reign … Continue reading Monarch’s Updated
New Section, Old Kings
Added a new section the last couple of days and still fiddling with it to make it work. This will provide some more detail into past Kings of Slothjemia, which in turn will inspire more questions than it does provide answers. I find it comforting to turn to the old familiar things from time to … Continue reading New Section, Old Kings
It’s all done with Mirrors
For as long as there have been mirrors, there have been superstitions and myths surrounding them. Nowhere is this more true than in Domum, a world of magic and wonder mixed with a healthy dose of paranoia and dread. If something can be understood to be of sinister intent, it will certainly be so in … Continue reading It’s all done with Mirrors
Fun with Fanolanian Flags
Fanolanian State Flag Like most of the larger, more powerful nations of the continent, there are several flags seen across the landscape of Fanolania. The King of course has his own flag, a variation of the national flag, but it only flies over the royal household or over the King's entourage when he travels. Bearing the … Continue reading Fun with Fanolanian Flags
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
