My latest idea for a story centers around how magic items are created in a fantasy setting. The enchanter effectively tells the item what its purpose is. Those capable of the craft can hear an echo of that purpose when holding the item. [Male character] is so good at his craft that the king only…

Have you ever noticed that witches in stories have little cottages out in the woods away from everyone? The implication is that they stay away from villages that might turn against them. But what if it has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with geography. Specifically, what if witches are like Jaguars…

Someone said “Affleck, you the bomb in phantoms, yo!” which is a timeless quote. I actually saw Phantoms, forever ago, when it came to home video. But I couldn’t remember anything about it, so I went to YouTube and watched the trailer. I still don’t remember anything about it (other than—at the time—thinking that Affleck…

“It is important you strike at the edge of the market,” Valian said to the Brothers Urgo. “I will set heel to horse and take Lady Ginelle away to safety. You can take what pleasure you will with Sebastine, as long as he is dead when you’re done.” The Brothers Urgo were the most muscles…

In an age where blog posting is effectively dead if you don’t have a platform (or if it isn’t your primary focus), we’ll call that a surprising increase in activity. And then…NOTHING! Until today. The cool thing is,…

Legacy games are all the rage in the board game world at the moment. My Tuesday group has already completed Seafall and Gloomhave and are 7/12 through Charterstone. I even have my own that I worked on over Christmas that I hope to devote more time to if work wasn’t trying to kill me (believe…

When I don’t write, I have REALLY vivid dreams, stories I should have been putting to paper but instead let bleed away at night. Grad school has done a pretty good job of mitigating this, offering me a different creative outlet. But now that I’m near the end of the program and the work I’m…
