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!

Ghosts of the Morning
One of the most rewarding aspects of role-playing to me is the ability to create and develop emergent stories, the journey taking twists and turns its participants never could have expected from the outset. This story about two vampires—one stoic and sinister, one...
Fatal Mistakes were Made
This writing sample represents in a small way the heresy which has come to define the tattered legacy of Theston Metrulis III. A failure on all fronts, he abandoned his mortal family, he abandoned his immortal family, and in his stubborn and willful naivete he very...
In Media Res
It's not that the plucky band of privateers specifically wanted to start a small peasant rebellion against the ruling Montaigne aristocracy, but their ideas of freedom and self-governance quickly caught on with the area's farmers, and while some may call it "sowing...
