Mazes & Mondays: Embered Ruin

The adventure takes place in the ruins of an ancient city-state, Vyrakhal, recently uncovered near the volcanic town of Ashenforge. The ruins are said to be cursed, filled with deadly traps and spectral guardians, but they also hold the promise of priceless relics and forbidden knowledge.

Mazes & Mondays: Blood-Bound Warrior

In the grim and unrelenting worlds shaped by the dark fiction of T. Glenn Bane, where mercy is weakness and peace is a lie told by the dying, the galloglaich stands as a brutal archetype of martial supremacy.

Bones of a Forgotten World

Many years ago, I wrote the Dark Fantasy of Sundrah. I labored and gritted my way through the creative pain on my shoulders, trudging a path from spark to world building. In the end, I had a method. It worked for me, and I expect it may work for some of you.
