OK, first things first, this is Scott's fault. And, now that we have that out of the way . . .
I have been told that I should put a few of my stories out there. My most recent stories have all been about characters involved in the games I am running, or have run in the past, and I use these stories to flesh out background material outside of the actual sit-down adventures.
They say that you should write stories about the things that you are passionate about, and I am passionate about my games. I do worry, however, that these stories might be a bit more interesting to those in the know, but . . .
. . . what the hey!
Now, as to the 'a few wondrous stories' reference. When I sit down to write, I often have a bit of background music playing . . . fantasy movie soundtracks, new age stuff, classical music, some rock 'n' roll. The band Yes has always been a favorite of mine and Jon Anderson the lead singer in particular. He has done a lot of side projects over the years, including a couple of fantasy-based ones, and his music has been in the background a lot recently. 'Wondrous Stories' is a Yes song that I am particularly fond of . . . . . . . . .
Well, there you have it. At this point in time, I intend to post a story every week. Any feedback is appreciated, but politeness is also appreciated; 'You suck' will probably not help me.
Can't wait. 30 years of going through these stories. Some game by numbers, but you have always been about the story and the world. I have shared these stories anactdotaly for decades. Anxious to see them written down.
