Since ending Snout’s journey and switching The Legacy to an anthology format for shorter stories, I’ve come to feel creatively refreshed. Trying new things always makes me feel energized and excited for a new project, and so far this new format has been successful in maintaining my excitement. It’s also seen the introduction of digital … Continue reading “Typos and Other Perils”
Yesterday my parents sold their house. It’s a pretty heavy statement, emotionally. Or I feel like it should be. I feel like I should be having a more definite feeling about the house I grew up in being sold, but in its place I have an emotion I can’t quite describe. First of all, they … Continue reading “Mixed Feelings About the End of an Era”
In the late eighties or early nineties my friend introduced me to Dungeons & Dragons. Back then it was Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition. Besides introducing me to tabletop roleplaying games and the collaborative storytelling they entail, that book had a singular and profound effect on my imagination: the schools of magic available to … Continue reading “Unlearning the Schools of Magic”
In yesterday’s update of Rebel, I introduced you to Gordi Balebeard, son of Fordi Balebeard, grandson of Bordi Balebeard. Also in yesterday’s comic it was revealed that the dwarf men of Kadaz like to use names for their sons that rhyme with theirs. How common a practice that is has yet to be shown, but … Continue reading “Rhyming Dwarf Names”

We’re a small family, only me and my wife and my son, so two out of three people were sick … Continue reading “Sick Days”

It can be both deep and meaningful, and simply be beautiful for the sake of beauty. Music is everything to me. … Continue reading “Sight Reading May Have Ruined My Life”
I finally broke down and bought myself a copy of Baldur’s Gate 3, the Game of the Year for 2023, when it came out for consoles. I do all of my gaming on consoles because I have inexplicably bad luck with technical difficulties whenever I game on PC. So with the flood of sassy pale … Continue reading “How I Love and How I Hate Baldur’s Gate 3”
I’ve been waiting on this moment for about a year now. I’ve been featuring them on several tiers of my Patreon page since January of 2023. Those of you who’ve been supporting the Patreon at the Epilogue tier already know who Cresca’s mother is, and what her connection to Dominic was. This has been an … Continue reading “The Dwarves At Last”
I’m going to start this blog off by saying that I’m privileged to be on good terms with my immediate family. That being said, I won’t be seeing them on Christmas Day this year. It was the same last year, too. It’s only because I live a few states away from them and it’s important … Continue reading “Chosen Family Holiday”
I’ve been on TikTok for a while now and have gone mildly viral there for two types of videos I’ve made. The first time I went viral was making videos featuring a shark hand puppet ambushing me with metal songs. The second time I went viral was making videos talking about Skyrim, one of my … Continue reading “The Wizard and the Algorithm”
