Worldgasm: Why Worldbuilding?

Okay, "worldgasm" what...the...hell. I am going with it. Why chose a series title that has innuendo or at least sexual overtones? Worldbuilding is a creative orgasm, an explosion of mental energy and life, potentially giving birth to a setting by which to base stories. Okay, pseudo-erotic thought over. As a would-be fantasy author, I love … Continue reading Worldgasm: Why Worldbuilding? →

Writing Chronicles: Distractions and Dragons

Lately, as a writer, I have been experiencing d&d: distractions abound and in them be dragons! Out demon of Minecraft, away with you spirit of modded Skyrim! I am a level three writer trying to fight distractions way above my own experience. I may need some divine intervention to deliver me from these (and other) … Continue reading Writing Chronicles: Distractions and Dragons →

The Noob Dungeon Master: You Start in a Town

I have been a Dungeon Master since 2015. Almost four years later I still consider myself a noob at the craft. So, take my musings as they are...musings. There are a lot of people who do this better than I and I will list a link to my favorites in another post. Why should you … Continue reading The Noob Dungeon Master: You Start in a Town →

Writing Chronicles: Why do I Write?

You sit sometimes for hours or days at a time struggling to squeeze every bit of creative juice into words.

The reader … Continue reading Writing Chronicles: Why do I Write? →

The Failing Media and the Loss of the Middle Ground

I sincerely hope we will get some gun regulations passed in this country. But this is not a post about … Continue reading The Failing Media and the Loss of the Middle Ground →

My Second Conversion: Facing Jesus (Part III)

If we agree, and I hope we do, that the previous checklist is not a true measure of Christian spirituality, then how do we get it right? Is there a right? Jesus summed up both the Old Testament and any other inspired writings to come with one statement: “You shall love the Lord your God … Continue reading My Second Conversion: Facing Jesus (Part III) →

The Story is Complete

I am a dungeon master, I play Dungeons and Dragons. Now, if I haven't lost you in nerd revulsion, I am completing my first campaign of said Dungeons and Dragons next Tuesday. For nearly thirty sessions since October of 2018, I have been guiding my changing group of players loosely (very loosely) through the Tales from the Yawning … Continue reading The Story is Complete →

My Second Conversion: Facing Jesus (Part II)

In the last post, I started a checklist of tongue-in-cheek things I used to follow to determine whether or not I was a follower of Jesus Christ. I continue it today because I am a) not done and b) having to much fun. You can see the previous list here. Do you agree with biblical … Continue reading My Second Conversion: Facing Jesus (Part II) →
