Let’s talk about anthropomorphic animal combat. Societies tend to place a pretty strong emphasis on preventing people from murdering each other, or doing other things that strike at the very social cohesion that keeps a city working. We have, of course, created lots of ways to bypass this as a species, and just as many […]

Casting call
Something I’ve debated in the past is who I’d cast as voice talent for my characters. Just to kind of get the right vibe for them. Here’s somewhat of a list for them, based on my current thoughts! Kawheek: Ewan McGregor or BD Wong. Respective reference roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Li Shang. Melody: Sigourney […]
Faenya Lore start
Just a quick blurb about Faenya in my “Wings and Prayers” setting. Writing it down here to build off of later. Faenya is NOT a primary mover and shaker in the greyhawk theme, she’s a elven god of avariel in core canon. And given the Thorsari OBVIOUSLY got suboptimal land placement, here’s my pitch. THe […]
“Term”-inal velocity
So back when I was much younger, before the first Protogen was activated, and the first Dutch Angel Dragon had manifested, Anthrocon had not yet broken 2500 attendees, and Uncle Kage had a full head of hair, I joined a D&D campaign played online over Avians.net IRC. Started in 2004, and played over OpenRPG and […]
The future of “Three Pantheons”
So Sundered Shroud is finally in a good place where I’m comfortable. But as that’s largely a setting I run for RP, that’s going to probably move to the back burner for a while now. So I’m turning my attention elsewhere. For the setting of another character. And while eventually they’re all going to get […]
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 […]
Three Pantheons Workshop: Divine Marks (Part 1)
So this is going to be part of a new thing I do. As I work on revamping the original Three Pantheons setting for my own use, I think it will be important to examine some of the initial concepts used in the setting and analyze them. See what they were doing narratively, the problem […]
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 […]
My thoughts on so-called “AI”
The current generation of AI is profoundly immoral, requiring huge amounts of power and doesn’t work, and is attempting to be memed into existence by techbros and venture capitalists who have violated the copyright of pretty much everyone who’s posted any creative work on the internet ever in the pursuit of the ultimate lock-in technology.
