The little stunties are back. And this time they learn how to read and write. (The consequences of which lead to the first kobold tribes.)

Yep, the kobolds are back, in part 5 of a work in progress. This time around we look at the Thiran eruption and the effect it had on the World of Dragon Earth.

(BTW, I was delayed by a minor stroke, otherwise this would've been up days ago.)

Halflings, Minoans, and the island of Thira

In which the wondrous Mythusmage expounds once more on a fantasy creature, and shows off his scattershot education. In this installment the Indo-Europeans, elves, dwarfs, and orcs show up to give Dragon Earth's kobolds more grief.

Post number two in a series focusing on the kobolds of Dragon Earth. This installment deals with their history.

A sample of writing practice wherein your host, Mythusmage, shows off his erudition and amuses himself with idle speculation.

This particular exercise involves the old German sprite, the kobold. The kobold as it exists in the world of Dragon Earth; a fantasy/alternate history version of the world we know. It is, you might say, the first draft of a work in progress detailing the kobolds of Dragon Earth in all their various forms. I actually get this thing finished I' m thinking of having it published in PDF format for sale through one or more PDF vendors.

But you're not here to hear about my plans for this thing, you're here to hear about kobolds. :)

Wandering in a winter wonderland

God as a game designer

A recent wind storm (Hurricane Charles) got me to thinking about events as adventures. A bit more thinking and the following occured to me.

Looks like Ghostwind knows me better than I do myself. What will I be writing about? Danged if I know. But I'll do what I can to produce substantial postings. Right now I'm thinking about environmental hazards (storms, earthquakes, dead trees, that sort of thing) in RPGs, and doing adventures around them. PCs against Nature.

Which does raise this question: What is the CR of a category 4 hurricane?

(Irate Player: We survive an 8.9 earthquake and I'm still tenth?)
