Below is a work-in-progress map for a home role-playing game. A more detailed map will be posted soon.
The world of the setting will have a strong "Fairy Tale" quality to it, with a fair sprinkling of Sword and Sorcery. It is meant for new gamers who love fairy tales and fantasy. Dragons, unicorns and the sort of magic you find in young adult fantasy series. The Black Pit of Despair

An illustration for the wonderful Dark World Magazine. The magazine focuses on Sword and Sorcery style short stories. The entire magazine is top notch and well worth checking out. The website for the magazine can be found here: www.gwthomas.org/darkworldsindex.htm The Inmates of Cell Block 910

I recently caught these feral kittens and their mother (already pregnant again).
If I could have saved any of them, it would have been this little guy. He showed the most intelligence and bravery. Alas, my own cat would have none of it.

I was poking through a small wooded area in my home town yesterday, and I thought I would share.
It was a bit swampy, but full of birds and that deep green feeling that is such a joy to take a leisurely walk through. New Webcomic!

Well, I am presently working on a new webbomic. The Adventures of The Snarky Avenger! We are still in the early days, but more will be coming regularly, so stay tuned!

Hello |
|
Thanks for your comment about my Orb photo. No I don't have special filters it's a Samsung Digimax530, 5 megapixels camera I bought a few years ago. I just use automatic settings because I don't know much about photography! I just point and click :) All I did to the photo shown was to lighten it a bit using the AutoSmartFix button in Adobe Photoshop Elements which adjusted the contrasts to show the Orbs better. But no other editing. It's an intriguing mystery...I took some more photos last night too some of which have different orbs, others had none. Someone else suggested they may be dust particles in the air refracting back the flash but they are not in every consecutive photo. Like I say in my blog, I studied as a scientist and can quite understand the need to verify what exactly they are...but I am intrigued. Suzanne |
