      My brother and I used to leave each other messages in mirror writing, because I fell in love with Leonardo’s notes. :lol:

      jewish lore on this one is actually quite fascinating.

      The jewish people believe in debate. A LOT. To the point where there's an old joke that if god himself joined in a debate between priests, that'd only make the vote two to six.

      They emphasize things like moses whittling the commandments down to ten (which is also in muslim tradition) and Abraham bargaining to find ten honest men (although some argue that's so that he can see for himself how futile it is). And in a famous story (have to track it doen, sorry), the rabbis actually beat god in a talbot debate and he celebrates his 'childrens' accomplishment.

       To them, the relationship with god is a pact, one where he has to fullfill part himself. Theyve succesfully argued terms of worship a number of times, within reason because god needs to get something too. And yes, he asks for worship, but it's closer to a parent wanting to be in your life, if im understanding it righr. Does that make sense?

      Well, suppose you could torture them with a brick by brick description, along with blueprints, see how long it lasts until they’re throwing stones… :)

      I’ll second @BronxWench with her method, similar to how I do it.  Describe the basics, leave the rest to their imagination, unless there’s something important, like a loose brick.

      The Return of the King also had a bunch of appendices too, histories, family trees, etc – clever way to info-dump without over-burdening the prose.

      An indecent editor might be more appealing?

  6. Campaign: The War For Mortane Prologue

    is finished. Here’s the prologue. Sequel to Immunda and Rationis

    My attempt at forcing myself to write sex scenes and confront my weakness head on.

    Porn with plot.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Plot with porn’s always good.  I tried to write porn without Plot, but Plot whined and forced its way in like a stray puppy.

      They had carrot ale before carrot cake. What a time to be alive.

    3. Strange_idea

      Strange_idea

      carrots were around before potatoes. so it makes sense. also, they were black, white and purple then. long story

      they also had the can before the can opener

       

      related historical oddity, the colour orange is named for the fruit. not the other way around.

    4. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      That has always been a fascinating tidbit of history.  Before orange people either used the term ochre or stranger terms.

      Most interesting is the fact. That orange is the most accurate way to describe that particular color rather than yellow-brown or weirder things

      I like the keyword density feature. That’s useful if it highlights it as you go along, rather than having to wait for your editor to point out how well you’ve abused certain words. :blink:

      The ability to find overused words is invaluable. Now i’m trying my hand at finding filter words

    A murder, a lie and a conspiracy of why.

      Like rolling dough thinner and thinner, every time I “rewrite”, things inevitably get longer.

    3. InvidiaRed

      Its true though. Absolutely is that age old question brought to life.

      Why are things happening? Because people are flawed drama llamas living in a world where gods and monsters are active make no pretense of being human or having human values and the horrors of the dark age just barely passed.

      Characters w/o flaws?  Tends to make for rather short & boring stories.

  14. Almost done doing one last major edit for Lichlove

    namely a rename as Resurgent. In addition to adding more details and a chapter or two.

    The sequel is Throne Of Asphodel. 

    And the end of the Trilogy: TBA Getting closer to the endroad and learning the intracies of self-published writer Haha.

  15. Almost done with the New years addition of Holiday Canon.

    Out With The Old

  16. Another entry into the Holiday Canon.

    Winter Blessing is up :D

  17. Another Small Step Down. <3 

    As long as I can get it published by atleast the end of the year I’ll be happy. Reading Copyright law was horrible but at least legalese is at least legible. Understanding what is and isn’t culpable…

    But hey, at least 70 years

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      There is a copyright lawyer on youtube, by the name of Leonard French, if you want to watch about copyright and other cases.  Might be easier than reading through law, though few of his videos are short.

      Ah the pitfalls of doing this thing solo.

  18. Any tips on writing a boss battle?

    Thinking on maybe doing Raid Boss style. Haha

    Ghoulneedle after needs needs a fitting ending.

      Strange_idea

      I've seen some examples, I might be able to help.  How many participants, how powerful are they and what established combat methods have they shown?

    2. InvidiaRed

      Boss is an epic 25th level wizard with Wiz 20/Archmage 5 (Homebrew)

      With the following buffs

      -Warden Of Undermountain. The Wards of Undermoutain protects its master granting damage reduction based on how many prisoners are interred in Undermountain.

      - Heart Of Undermountain- Great power is drawn from demons and other fell horrors trapped in the demon level. Once per the lich’s turn. Morovith can attempt to draw on this wellspring of power but may take no other action this turn. Roll a d100.

      And one passive

      - Spellcraft Phylactery- As long as the epic spell Darkened Sky exists. Shielding the necrocracy from the damaging effects of the sun. Morovith  cannot be permanently destroyed and will return  in 3d20 years. As long as Morovith exists Darkened Sky cannot be suppressed or dispelled with its effects resuming in 3d6 rounds. If Morovith sacrifices an epic level spell. The effects resume immediately.

  19. By the gods.

    federal jobs might pay well but they never tell you the wall of legalese you have to sift through and thats just looking at it.

      Its nice to know the red tape is self-aware.

      Red tape is the only sentient/intelligent life to be found in a bureaucracy.

  20. Companies are sneaky af. When they learned I was going to leave
