I’ve been in a loop over the character pages a bit. The first two are up, for Vershaft and Aikine, but they were the easier ones. Many of my chars have multiple canons, or such. I was thinking of doing a ‘base page’ with the explanation of the character, subpages for things like art galleries […]

To rise from its ashes, a phoenix must first burn
I’ve discussed time before and how I’ve been making changes in my life, to reduce distractions and improve my productivity. But it has come to my attention that that is not the only area I am weighed in the balance and found wanting. Now, this isn’t to say I will be abandoning what I said. […]
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
I’ve had ADHD for a long time. And getting me to do anything was…hard. About 2013 I started using HabitRPG, now Habitica, as a task tracker. The difference was so great that some people actually asked me what I was doing differently! That said, I plateaued there a while ago. And the site hasn’t meaningfully […]
The bird in the glass
So a bit ago I discussed how I came by the “Arrow” name, and how I feel it defines me more. But a name is…well, just a word without an association. When you think your best friend’s name, you see their face, or perhaps a memory of them. And for most people, that’s fine. But […]
Monthly round up
So last month I ended up going to a bunch of music concerts, more than I planned. In total I saw Weird Al Yankovic, Glyph, Gloryhammer, Alestorm, DragonForce, and PowerWolf. Great time, though I think I picked up a bit of something at the last concert…been sick about a week, but mostly better now. Also […]
Sundered Shroud overview
In the distant past of Earth, there were great wars which no one remembers. Where the inhabitants of the material, normal world fought against those of an alternate magical world, for who would have influence. Going on for years, eventually a sect of gnostics called “Druids”, seeking to stop the constant struggle, enacted a powerful […]
“Who Am I?”, or, What’s In A Name?
I had a different post I wanted to write today but I am entirely not in the mood for it, so let’s talk about something different: self-definition. So obviously I have a name in meatspace. And there’s plenty of people who use that for me. But for years now, I’ve felt as if “Arrow” is […]
More Bird Rites
After the last post, my friend ircnetsplit (go check out his books!) mentioned a potential myth for Thordani feather imping. “I’m seeing a (possibly embelished, possibly not) story of a group that got mauled pretty badly by something (combat, accidents, etc) and they pool their feathers to one person who goes for help or to […]
Managing Productivity
I used to be horrible about achieving things. This may sound like a joke, but it’s true. Back around 2013, a few people got me into Habitica (then HabitRPG) and its use to tick off Daily tasks and To-Dos actually really helped me. The difference was so stark that I actually got questions from people […]
I swear I didn’t know about Blaugust
But I’m certainly not going to pass it up. Good practice to figure things out. Lately I’ve been doing a lot more creatively. Definitely a bit of a mess focus-wise, but I’m making a lot of progress on improving things. Most of my characters are from a setting created by someone else, and it shows. […]
