Even at this late hour, a handful of worshippers clustered around the various icons of the Sovereign Host evenly spaced along the chapel’s walls. Acolytes to the respective deities spoke quietly to their charges, some holding candles, while others allowed the wavering shadows and light to...

Yep. Fiction. I'm kinda bugged if there are grammar/spelling errors, since it went through two reviews and a couple of separate pairs of eyes...ug. Last update on this one tonight. It's a ~6000 word short story. Still working on the second one which is longer and has more characters. Thanks...

We _have_ to have Thunderfoot at our barbeque. He can bring the cornbread. I throw in actual corn, peppers (not super hot, but enough to give it a bite), and sometimes tomatoes. But, a good plain cornbread with real butter can't be beat either. Now if I can just convince my wife that sweet...

short break and wrap up tomorrow... --------------------- ### Vrabel stopped on the street outside the apothecary shop, its faded wooden placard depicting a cluster of flowers. He steeled himself and pushed open the door. Cloying perfumed smoke immediately caught in his throat, and he began to...

Tone down nothing! Keep it big, loud and pulpy. Depends on what you want her story to be, I guess. To keep interest, you may want to consider bringing her back to the 'sympathetic' fold. I like the character, but I think she probably needed to be put through Sharn's grinder to get that pride...

Dester slid off of the path, slick with greenish gray slime and into a trench ankle-deep in the foul smelling stuff. “Why, please tell me, did I answer my door?” Dester moaned, hands held wide as he looked at his ruined shoes. “I could be sleeping right now.” “This is the very exciting spy...

Vrabel sat back and rubbed his eyes, sliding the crew manifest and passenger list away from him. His spartan one-room flat looked even less appealing in the light of the glowstone sitting on his desk. He flipped an empty cup over the stone, and the room went black. Streaks of light danced in his...

This is a short story, and completed. I'll be posting it in its entirity over the next week or so. Enjoy, and I always appreciate feedback... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Vrabel d’Vadalis slumped on one of the hard benches along the starboard side of the airship. Midday sunlight streamed through...

Um... bump.. More please.

I really like the way you handle the description of magic in this story. You've stripped away the 'metagame' portions of the spells and powers and made them your own. Very nice. Great battle scene, as well. I got a little lost on who was who, but you had so many combatants on both sides that you...

Get to writing! This is a great start.

My thoughts go out to you guys in London. I'm heartened to see that "solid British practicality" in the face of this tragedy. (S'mon: your wife's blog was brilliant) Take care...

Lemme know when!

Sounds like you already have. Just don't make her mad.

I'm struggling with this now. I know at the 8-12 year old range was when I started reading ER Burroughs, but actually having a kid character in mortal danger, and exposing my kids to various slave/torture weirdness isn't what I'm going for. And I'm also planning on opening up the kid character...

I got those two, but totally blanked on Alice..doh! I thought Wizard of Oz was set in the 1800's... I guess it didn't exactly specify, but it was published in 1900, yes..? Not sure. I just started reading it, and was hoping someone more familiar with it could point out some landmines that I...

So, I finally got Slavelords and my brain started working out all these cool fantasies about actually getting to run it. Since I usually only have time to run games for my kids, I came up with the idea of having them be a LXC, basically playing historical archetype children characters. So, I...

Fiction: The Three Musketeers (just finished it last night...) Next up: Twenty Years After Non-Fiction: Nothing, still... need some history to get my brain going again. Comics: Conan #17 - Finally, we get to Arenjun, and Conan starts doing what he does best: Thieving, murdering, pillaging...

Also, I can't resist touting Marcus Rowland's Forgotten Futures (to which I have no connection financial or otherwise.) This campaign is of particular interest, but there is loads of information on the Victorian age, especially if you're going for a 'weird science' or other similar...

Yes! Another fine Star Wars story hour. Update update update...
