Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

No More Bars (Mage Concept)
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks didn't guarantee a rap sheet by the age of ten, but the odds were certainly stacked against Clarence. Sure enough, a few bad decisions and worse associations later, he found himself with his third strike before he turned...
Rogg: First Blood
Crossing over a hill toward the outpost of Valormok, or so my map had me believe, I heard the sound of armed combat. This wasn't like the training halls I passed while waiting to talk to the Blademaster, where recruits were attacking straw and wooden...
Conquest: the Wilderness
Consulting my map, it would take just over an hour to reach Echocall Crossing to the North, the site of the Disfavored's missing iron and a planned assault against local forces. Nearly six hours away to the East lay Tripnettle Wilderness, where the Scarlet Chorus...
