Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 2

This month, I’m writing a superhero adventure for Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) titled This Vision of Darkness. I originally had the idea back when Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Edition came out, but I never ended up publishing it for that system. But now, I’m going to make it available under the Fate Open Gaming License. LastContinue reading "Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 2"

Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 1

I originally stumbled across the Fate RPG back when it was an acronym that stood for “Fantastic Adventures in Tabletop Entertainment.” It’s a great game, and later iterations only got better. And while Fate Core is wonderful, Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE) is even better. It boils down what I want in a game to itsContinue reading "Fate Accelerated Edition Supers – Part 1"

Draconem Sub-Sector Complete

The final dowloadable PDF for the Draconem sub-sector is now finished! All 40 world descriptions, plus multiple adventure hooks for each, plus a color star-map, plus all the relevant notes from these blog posts, all in one document. I've had a couple of people ask how they could contribute something back for this freebie, soContinue reading "Draconem Sub-Sector Complete"

Traveller – The Draconem Subsector

Last week, I decided to create a sub-sector using just the original Traveller little black books from the original 1977 edition of the game. Again, I want to link to this amazing series of blog posts by Christopher Kubasik where he examines how differently the game plays when one understands and embraces the intent ofContinue reading "Traveller – The Draconem Subsector"

Gaming Material – Traveller

I’ve reached a point where I want to make a bit of a change to the material that I’m posting on the blog. Gaming, particularly RPG gaming, is a huge part of my life. While I love writing novels and short stories, I also love to create materials for my favorite RPG games. So I’mContinue reading "Gaming Material – Traveller"

Books I wish I had written

(Or...What Inspires Me as a Writer) We all have our favorite books—those we read again and again, that speak to us directly and touch something inside of us. Writers have a slightly weird relationship to novels, especially great novels. Before I wrote my first novel, I could get sucked into a great story and letContinue reading "Books I wish I had written"

Free Fiction – The Broken Temple of Yinak

My first Kaus Kagunvar story is now up! After editing, it actually came down in word count a bit, so I just missed the technical definition of novella by about a thousand words. But, at just more than 16,000 words, it's pretty darn close. And more important than the word count is that I'm veryContinue reading "Free Fiction – The Broken Temple of Yinak"

List of projects: Tales of the Undying Empire – Kindle and print versions availableContinue reading "Writing Update – April 2017"
