Mirium: …
Keelath: ..eh heh.. Sorry.
Mirium: Dear… He’ll be fine. He’s your son.
Mirium: And I’m your wife. Trust us.
Keelath: I love you too, Mirium.

It turns out Evelos isn’t the only worrywart in the family.
Transcript*
Mirium: I don’t understand… I thought the Trials were only for the magi. Why do they want Evelos?
Keelath: Well, the Light is a kind of magic. And with us as his parents…! I’m a paladin. You use it to heal. I am certain he has it in him!
Mirium: Yes, but the Trials usually are for destructive magics…
Keelath: Granted, I have never seen him USE Light magic–
Mirium: Keelath…
Keelath: To fight or to heal–
Mirium: Keelath! He’s probably–
Keelath: But if given the opportunity…! …and this is certainly an opportunity…
Mirium: Keelath…
Keelath: Perhaps this will serve to inspire the boy…
Mirium: Keelath, dearest– I think–
Keelath: It will wake him to his roots as part of the Sunwalkers! We will have to leave on the morrow to make it to Yohon’nai on time…
Mirium: KEELATH!!!
Keelath: Yes?

Keelath: Hello, Mirium, my love. Hello, son. Did you have a good ride?
Evelos: I… I should go get Fleet cooled out.
Keelath: Hmm… Still not clicking for him?
Mirium: No…
Keelath: Well, maybe when we move onto weapons, he’ll take to it.
Mirium: Keelath…
Keelath: Hmm?
Mirium: I’ve been thinking. Maybe this isn’t the right path for Evelos. I know you wish him to become a paladin like you, but he doesn’t have that kind of heart.
Keelath: ….
Keelath: Well… You’re not the only one who thinks so…

Mirium: Straighten him up! Don’t let him get away with that! Outside rein! No, no, no…
Mirium: What happened?
Evelos: He wouldn’t listen!
Mirium: You have to be confident and follow through with your commands!
Evelos: But I…
Evelos: I don’t think I’m cut out for this…
Mirium: Oh, Evelos! A charger is a friend for life, but you have to respect each other.
Fleet: *snort!*
Mirium: Isn’t that right, Carrot-Brain?
Fleet: *nicker*
Keelath: Hallo!
Mirium: That would be your father. He’ll want to see your progress–Evelos?
Evelos: …

RPG Teaser: Avaliet
Avaliet is a large volcanic island off the western coast of the Shey Lands.
This is a teaser to an RPG supplement I will be putting out later this year (2019). It describes the large island of Avaliet and some of its notable cities and landmarks. Continue reading “RPG Teaser: Avaliet”
RPG Teaser: The Akor’mari
Akor’mari (singular: akor’mar) are the cave-dwellers of the ‘mar races, and can be found in most inhabitable parts of the underground Reaches. On the Surface, they are rare… This is to the relief of most other races, who throughout history have suffered the attacks of the akor’mari and term them one of the greatest evils of the known world.
This is a teaser for one of the races being added by the new RPG setting I will be putting out later this year (2019). Being only a preview, some details may change upon publication. Continue reading “RPG Teaser: The Akor’mari”
I Scored!
Though I am still waiting back on the verdict from the latest publisher I am trying Hottest Day on, I have another squee to share in the meantime. I have been extended a contract to start work on some RPG supplements to be posted later this year on DriveThruRPG!
If you haven’t heard of them, DriveThruRPG is a website specializing in posting supplements for RPG systems like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Vampire: The Masquerade. Both official rulebooks and supplements as well as those written by third party professionals can be found here. Though there is some self-interest in my suggesting you go poke at the site, it’s also a nifty place to find inspiration for your next RPG adventure.
We are also looking at getting it posted onto Open Gaming Store. Open Gaming Store is similar to DriveThruRPG, though its audience is slightly smaller and does not carry some of the bigger-name brands. That said, many of their indie rule sets are still compatible with Pathfinder, 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, and other popular game systems.
Finally, if we can figure out Amazon’s archaic rules, a hardcopy (as in literal book!) will be released there, as well.
I am treating this as my first big break into the industry and am really quite excited! The world of my novels-in-the-making will soon be available to play with your favorite RPG system! To give you a teaser (and there is self-interest in this preview as well), I’ll be posting the descriptions of the akor’mari race (as the race featured in Hottest Day...whenever that sees the light of day) as well as some locations from the island of Avaliet. Enjoy!
