Fiction: Phil’s Tale

Dragavan @ Monday, July 26th, 2010 ()

I am currently running a game of Don’t Rest Your Head and had a moment of inspiration, so I wrote this short story based on a character not actually in the active narrative of the story (at least yet), but that is tied to the backgrounds of two of our three protagonists (his father and […]

ToK Stories: The Man On The Mountain Part 1

Dragavan @ Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 ()

I decided to start posting stories to my blog. At least ones that are related to my games in some way, especially The Land of Karn. Most of these fall into two main camps, Travelers of Karn stories and Narstint Perfecto stories. The first being a novel based on game characters and the second being […]

Does Life Impact Negatively on Gaming?

Dragavan @ Saturday, August 30th, 2008 ()

An unfortunate side-effect of having a new job is the amount of energy and work it takes up. Even when it’s not a new job, but your long standing one, it can take up a lot o time and energy. Add the other things in your life that you have to take care, especially if […]

Fantasy Languages: How much of a fake language do you need in a game?

Dragavan @ Sunday, April 20th, 2008 ()

When deciding to run a game that includes languages other than the ones you actually speak (in most cases I will guess my readers use English) you have to decide how those other languages are going to be handled. Are they going to be mostly ignored, have parts created for flavor, or even get completely […]

Pacing Myself: Wanting to do too much too soon.

Dragavan @ Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 ()

This could very easily turn out to be another game related or even gaming advice post, but that’s not the intent here. This is supposed to be a post about my own experience right now with the re-launch of my blog. With the return of my drive and inspiration, what some could call my Muse […]

It’s Called What?: Creative Fantasy Naming Techniques

Dragavan @ Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 ()

It seems that a lot of players (and GMs) spend a lot of time agonizing over coming up with good names for characters, places, and things in their games. Some don’t care or simply give up, which leads to characters like Bob the Barbarian or items like the Big Death Kill Sword, but most really […]
