Hi there! It’s been a year. Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday that I started torturing you with Soulless Minions and insane Easter Bunnies! But, you survived. Mostly. Well, one or two of you survived. House hiders are the worst. But I’ll get you sooner or later. Nya ha ha ha ha ha! So, yes, it’s been a year. So, here’s your chance to tell me, in person, what you think. Bring it on – I can take it. I think I’ve proven that by now. Come along and tell me what you like, what you […]

“Make way for the Queen!” bellowed the footman, as the carriage trundled down the main road of Trinsic “Make way for her Royal Highness!” Heads popped out of windows all along the road. “Queen?” asked a merchant, as the footman passed “What Queen?!?” “Her Royal Highness, Queen Blackthorn the first, fairest amongst women, finest Jewel of Britannia’s crown, most glorious sovereign of all Sosaria! Make way!” yelled the footman “What? Old Blackthorn finally got married?” “I didn’t know there was a wedding!” “You’d think the town criers would have said something, useless lot!” The comments and complaints became a low […]

Starting time : 5 pm EST at the House of Commons (EM Hall) Hawkwind gazed into his time viewer, observing the birth of another new year. This one seemed fairly normal, filled with invasions of monsters, people complaining about their lot in life, and the occasional explosion from an alchemist’s laboratory. No universe-ending threats in this one, and no newly invented types of cheesecake either. A noise near his elbow drew Hawkwind’s attention to his pet hampster, who was snuffling at the bars of his cage. It was feeding time. Hawkwind opened a bag of hampster feed, and poured it […]

5 pm EST – It’s Paragon Hunting Time! Ok Siege – nothing fancy about this one. Here’s my Christmas present to you: I will spend a LOT of time spawning creatures all over Ilshenar – creatures that don’t normally appear there. Any that aren’t paragons, I’ll get rid of, leaving you a lot of unusual paragon creatures to hunt. If you’re lucky, they may drop paragon chests – and these will be extremely rare. So, that’s the plan. If there are any specific creatures that you’d like a shot at getting a chest from, please let me know. Yes, I’m […]

5 pm EST is goblin hunting time! With apologies to anyone of a poetic nature, anyone who actually likes “We three kings” and anyone who is offended by drunken goblins. Oh, and that guy over there who is always professionally offended. YOU know who you are!   We three goblins of the Abyss are Smelling ghastly we burp from afar Fouling fountains, littering mountains, Looking for the nearest bar O Bar of Eodon, open all night Bar with pirate brandy blight Moonshine flowing, all things knowing, Drink makes us think we’re right! Born goblins of underground plain, It stinks below, […]

5 pm EST – dungeon crawling time! The group of madmen stood enraptured at their leader’s words, their blades shining in the moonlight, blood fresh from their recent sacrifice pooled around their bare feet. It all made perfect sense. How had they not seen this before? It was all so simple. Their leader’s voice rose in pitch, almost shrieking : “We have struck at their fortress of love! We have driven stakes through their supposed truth! Now, we will take their courage from them, and they will NEVER stand against our masters again!!! Chanting and gyrating like the possessed, the robed […]

5 pm EST With a muffled “clink”, the pickaxe broke through into the room beyond. An eye peered through the hole, and, seeing no reaction to the noise, leather gloved hands started to slowly work the edges of the hole. Once the hole was big enough for the shadowy miner to fit his upper body through, he reached up, and secured a large, black tapestry, bearing Lord Blackthorn’s symbol of chaos to the wall, covering his work. Reaching down, he retrieved all the debris that his efforts had created. Next, the figure pulled himself out of the hole, stepped into […]

Friday 13th October at 5 pm EST Maloria the witch glared at her sister. “Grizzly, you always knew the wrong thing to say! How can it just be luck? Bad luck, good luck – unfair is what I call it!” Grizelda cackled at her younger sibling. “unfair? You pathetic whiner! Luck it is, but luck is what you make it! Your constant defeats are your own doing. Your poor planning. Your poor strategy. Your poor resources. Your pathetic magic!” Maloria kicked over the cauldron and stormed out of the ruined cottage “You will see! I will rid this land of […]
