Nightmares in an Electric City

This was a submission for the Sword and Laser short story anthology...I don't remember when it was, but it was quite a while ago.  I did not get into the anthology, but I thought I actually did a pretty decent job on this story.  Let me know what you think!

I've returned!

Hey there, I've returned.  I'm probably going to be doing some renovation and cleaning up around here.  I want to start actually having a viable blog here to use as a portfolio.  I also want to get back into putting up reviews and top 10 lists again.  Cause, holy crap while I've been gone...Pathfinder stuff!  Dungeons and Dragons came out with a fifth edition!  And it doesn't suck.  Mostly.  Unless you're a spell-caster...then it's...rough.

Anyway I'll be posting up some work I've done in the meantime, so enjoy!

It is here!

Well, we have come to an interesting point in my adventure.  I have finally taken that first step in putting up a collection of short stories for you all to purchase.  Right now I only have it available here at Amazon for the Kindle.

In a couple of months, I'll be putting making it available on other formats for people.  For now though, it is on Amazon.  Please support my dream and purchase a copy.  For just $2.99, you can help me get one step closer to my goal of becoming a "real" boy...I mean, writer.

Yes, for the meager sum of $2.99, you can be transported to a magical realm of wizards and kings, inventors and treasure hunters!  So please, check it out, leave a rating and a review (if you feel so inclined, and I thank you ahead of time for purchasing a copy.

New day, new post!

I sit here as my Monday begins and I think of things that I find enjoyable.  Like video games...and reading...and dungeons and dragons.  I'm not hard to make happy.  This morning however...eesh.

Alternative for Gaming Mats

So recently I came across a company named Banners on the Cheap.  Basically, they make those giant, vinyl, sale banners that people put out in front of their stores for you to see.  I saw here that someone had used them though to print out a battle mat.  Being the resourceful sort, especially since their prices are much lower then Chessex, I figured I would give it a try and see if I could acquire a battle mat for cheap.

See the results after the jump!

Class Look: Fighter

Okay...so I'm lame. Took me a while, but I finally got the fighter class look finished. It mostly took this long because I was having a hard time coming up with some good archtypes to use for the fighter. Mostly it had to do with...well, let's just get into the review, shall we?

I'm back!

Alright, so finals are over and I passed all my classes! That means we will be getting back on track here and getting you more updates and articles on a regular schedule again.

I did want to talk quickly about the Dungeons and Dragons Next Playtest. I signed up for it a while ago, thinking it might be fun and enjoyable to see how much worse Wizards of the Coast is being forced to make the game I love. I mean, I really didn't enjoy 4th edition at all. I don't really blame Wizards of the Coast for that though, I personally think it has more to do with Hasbro then anything else.
