Works of Fiction

Creating characters, settings, or even whole worlds is a long-time joy of mine, one where I get to flex my creative muscles and try to encourage others to do the same. While my blog in general deals with all number of topics, here’s a curated list of all of my works of fiction – content inspired from other works, games I’ve played, or spun out of whole cloth.

My wonderful supporters on Patreon can view upcoming  entries several days before general release – thank you for your support!

Currently I have two long-running story arcs going: the Lavis Chronicles which explores a civilization’s first steps onto the galactic stage, and Covert Ops about two American operatives fighting a Bolivian drug cartel. I hope you enjoy!

Introducing “The Sunspears”

Four years ago I wrote about plans I once had to convert Arenanet's Guild Wars: Nightfall video game into a stirring Dungeons and Dragons campaign, where players could explore a setting inspired by northern Africa, rather than the well-trod faux Medieval Europe of...
