Dusque & Dove

Dusque and Dove, these magical nature spirits came to me in a cold evergreen forest. Dove, in nigh white, pale azure feathered catsuit was blonde and lovely. I couldn't tell if she had wings or if it was just streams of light through the trees behind her. At first she was walking away until she noticed me. She then approached and laid me in a cold river. My eyes drank in the moisture of the water. I was aware of the heat of my body streaming around me, the cold water drinking in my body heat. Then through the blur of water as I sunk deeper a dark form appeared behind her. He was cloaked, tall, face hidden in shadow. He wore black furs with iridescent raven feathers adorned about him. His black leather cloak fluttered in the wind and wavered through the watery breaking light of my descent. He stood over her, protecting Dove, overseeing my descent into calmness, into the waters of serenity.

What's He Up To?

Below are cataloged, in order of priority, my current projects. I am working on many in tandem so that their completion will be in a cascading promotional strategy... in short BAMF! Cisterns of Siennor - Short story is half way written. I'll also be painting a cover for this short inspired by a Frank Frazetta sketch from Fire and Ice . The beginning can be read in this anthology  as a complete self contained story of its own. Cisterns of Siennor is an expansion upon Herald of the Dead. -Frank Frazetta sketch- Altar of Deceit - First novel in the Lorekeeper's Saga is over a third complete. It started out under another title . I'm currently rewriting this story for NaNoWriMo 2017. You can follow my progress here . The cover is being painted  character  by  character  (four all together) with the backdrop the finishing touch. Remember those iconic Dragonlance covers? Altar of Deceit will also have 20+ black and white interio...

Pit of 52 Rouennais

Herein lies all the means you require to fight. Grab a weapon from the rack and prepare to hone your skills of battle. My services as Doctore are free and I expect no recompense. Your gladiatorial tools shall be a regular deck of cards. While the rules are simple, they easily lend to role-play. You can play as a dueling swordsman weighing your opponents every move as you count every card your opponent plays. Or you can play as a folk hero instinctively robbing your foes of victory while playing cards chaotically and relying on luck alone. You can play the wild ax swinging barbarian who throws down spade after spade at each opportunity. Or you can play the cautious defender baiting out your opponent until the perfect opening by beginning with diamonds and hearts until their spades run dry. Not only can you role-play a character but the rules of the game lend to a storytelling experience where a blow by blow tale unfolds without effort. So let's get straight to the rules now. Eac...
