Fleshed out more of the rules in the game along with sample cards loosely based on the historical real world (no one shoot for me for stereotyping any culture or stretching things). And obviously the places are historically concurrent. I really want to try and make this game as I can see it cohesively working […]
This would be a card-based game, possibly with tiles but I’m leaning towards no board or tiles. Basically, each player is an emperor/empress, king or queen etc. This could be historically based (Egypt, Rome, etc.) or fantastical. The goal is of course to ‘rule the world’. Essentially think of it as the game Civilization simplified […]
I’m looking at doing another short story before tackling a novel. I just don’t think my skills are up yet to doing a decent novel. I blogged about a space trader adventure, and the basic jist of that idea is what I want to write:
A futuristic setting of spaceships and space cowboys where jump points […]
Ian and I have started geocaching, and it’s a lot of fun! It’s basically using a GPS unit to find a ‘cache’, a little box of trinkets someone has hidden. You get coordinates and clues on a website. When you find it, you log your success in a little journal then go back to the […]
Bits and pieces of the novel come together and fall apart. Just writing some of it down.
The setting is many millenia after The Breaking. The first novel will entail how a summoner and enchanter, a Catran and Eowastan reunite the two halves of magic. Once the Guren begin to learn what is happening they work […]
Considering doing some GURPS adventures in the Skylands, which means I need to get cracking on the storyline, setting, races, etc. and decide at what point in the timeline we’ll be playing.
Races:
*The enchanters - A very stolid people, broad shouldered and taller than an average human, they tend to have a slightly swarthy complexion and […]
Most are common sense, but I thought it’d be a good exercise for me to sit down and think, ok, if I want to pick up a fantasy novel I’ve written, what do I want in it? This is from the approach of ‘write what you want to read’. My latest novel idea I […]
I’ll put any new ideas from my other, basically defunct blog about a fantasy world here. Basically, it’s a world that has been literally broken into pieces. Instead of a spherical globe, ‘chunks’ of land float in the sky, islands separated by air, not water basically.
Millenia ago, the main race(s) wielded powerful magics to […]
