Image of Nidhog – Hall of Nidhog Adventure Preview
Currently I am writing a short, linear adventure for +Erik Tenkar‘s upcoming fan-zine called “Nidhog’s Hall”. This adventure takes place far to the east of Eira in the homeland of the dwarves long before they left that land and sought refuge in Eira. The main adversary of this adventure is the ancient Arch Draco-lich, Nidhog, who […]
Korrigan – Creatures of Eira Preview
In Celtic Mythology the Korrigan are one of three things. The first is a generic term for Fae, interchangeable with Sidhe/Seelie/Sith. This, however, may be more of a misunderstanding with 16-18th century writers in regards to terminology. Korrigan are also considered, in some folklore, to be small dwarf-like creatures banished to the mortal world. Finally, […]
Magic-Users & Child-Players
I have spoken before on the limitations of the Magic-User as described in the 0 edition of the world’s first fantasy RPG as well as the Magic-User as presented in the retro-clones of the OSR. Simply put, while the Magic-User is awesome near the end of his life span he generally is a let down […]
X-plorers: Cleopatra Station
Today I picked up a .pdf copy of the Dave Bezio’s X-plorers adventure “Cleopatra Station”. First off I love X-plorers and wish there was more support for the game, so old or not I virtually squee’d when I found “Cleopatra Station” quite by accident on drivethrurpg.com. I’ve already read through it twice and cannot wait […]
Races of Eira – Quick Update on Production
Last night I contacted a DA artist whose work I am fond of to commission character art for the Pixie, Cat-Sith and Blood Witch races and Class respectively. This of course is for the direct cause of having original artwork for both this blog and the “Races of Eira” character book which I hope to […]
I can quit anytime & Wanderers at night
Last week a game I have wanted for a long time went on sale. A game I purposely did not buy due to my lack of ability to manage my time whenever an MMO involves itself in my life. That game was Funcom’s third entry into the MMO Genre “The Secret World”. Back in 2011 […]
Nicholas Berquist’s “The Rising Dark” ~ Not Quite a Review
The Rising Dark – Not Quite a Review I’m currently reading “The Rising Dark” by Nicholas Berquist and I have to say I am surprised it is holding my interesting. Let me explain that I have nothing against Berquist or his writing/design and really have nothing but praise for what I am reading. Instead my […]
An Albatross Around My Neck
To be quite honest I do not know what to write about. The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster in my and my family’s life. Job losses, job changes and problems with everything from a toaster to my car have pretty much beaten the hell out of any creative juices I may have. That […]
Back in Action
Memory for my PC is due in today so after an install tonight, the big beast shall be back up and running. I’ve also finally (fingers crossed) fixed the connection problems on my Linux box (Ubuntu 12.04 does not like me). What this means is that regular posting should return tonight.
Computer Down
The desktop has died. I’m left with my phone and my linux box. So this means no D&D Chronicles of Mystara tomorrow since that harm doesn’trun on Linux. Sorry everyone.
