Shadowbane – the bane of guilds?
Shadowbane – the Holy Grail of PvPers everywhere, the game that couldn’t get released. Or could it? With a definite release date finally set (March 25, 2003), it appears that rumour could finally be true and the game to end all PvP MMOGs will finally make it out of development and into the greedy, sweaty […]

So last night, I’m driving home from work, just as I usually do. Of course, since it’s January in Chicagoland, it’s fecking freezing here, and still dark. Winter wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the cold. So anyways, I’m driving home, and part of my route runs along the Fox River here. The […]

And what have I done? Well, so far, I’ve managed to yet again change the look of my website. This constant change amuses me for some obscure reason, not exactly sure why that is. If I put as much effort into leveling my character in AC2 as I do in redoing the look (not the […]

Well, not exactly sullied, really, more like reality has run roughshod over the memories. What I am I talking about? The lovely fall harvest tradition of getting a pumpkin for Halloween.

I managed to catch an upper respiratory infection while out there, so instead of partying and having fun, I felt like I was trying to hack up a […]

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, Month Unknown 2000 This is another of my AC Darktide stories, one that I had forgotten about until a chance link from the TAO website lead me to find this and the “A Kiss Goodbye” story. I think I wrote this mostly to celebrate finally learning some […]

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, April 2000 The final part in the “creation” story for my Asheron’s Call character, Rhyssa Fireheart. Playing this character, and writing stories like this one (several of which I can no longer find, sadly), are a few of the reasons why I ended up “becoming” Rhyssa Fireheart, […]
