Part two in a set of stories about Veniamin Kovalenko, the detective/fixer I'm playing in a Dresden Files RPG. Ryan very astutely noticed that I am hesitant to throw my characters into conflict, so I thought I'd work on a situation that pushed Veniamin a little further then "Oh no, will he like this delicious … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Veniamin Makes His Mark

Friday Fiction: The Exchange (Kraugh – Star Wars: Age of Rebellion)
This is a short short story featuring a character I'll be playing for a friend's Star Wars: Age of Rebellion game. He is a Togorian (a tall, feline-like alien species with a really interesting sexual dichotomy) who eschews the typical nomadic lifestyle of his species by choice -- he views traveling throughout the galaxy as … Continue reading Friday Fiction: The Exchange (Kraugh – Star Wars: Age of Rebellion)
Grappling Nightmares
I play in a Shadowrun game about once a month with a few local friends, and I'm enjoying it. My character's concept -- and if you know me, you know that of course this is how I roll -- is that he's a member of the Sioux nation who's been goblinized later in life during … Continue reading Grappling Nightmares

There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I wanted to do, and in the … Continue reading Personal: Life After Crunch Time

I'm looking to change that this month, though I'll have to do so in baby steps. Last month I made a pact with myself to make sure that the blog here was … Continue reading Writing December

So far, the group has uncovered the existence of a war between shadow cults that have been slowly but steadily engulfing the civilized world. After beating back the cult that plans to do the most damage and forming an uneasy alliance with … Continue reading Pathfinding Problems
Friday Fiction: A Primer of Oak’s Home
I run a home-grown Pathfinder game about twice a month that I've been having quite a bit of fun with. Through 18 games, I've taken my players up to level 7 (about a third of the way through their progression) and get this -- they're still with me. I've had pretty bad luck before with running … Continue reading Friday Fiction: A Primer of Oak’s Home
The State of the Rabbit – April 2013
I'm not very good at those April Fools' Day pranks that tend to make the rounds on the blogosphere today, so I encourage you to imagine that I did something appropriately awesome and/or crazy and you're amused or annoyed by it. I'm sure that whatever you could come up with would be better than what … Continue reading The State of the Rabbit – April 2013
