Spooky month is here

The blog has been laying low for quite a while now. Things in the real world have required my energy, or rather, I have focused on other things.

The dark months have hit the northern hemisphere, and will only get worse for the next three months, so hopefully I can get more stuff on the blog. It seems like the winter thing to do.

Lately, I have been less in Dragolance than usual. Probably because I feel the urge to spend my cognitive energy on something new as opposed to rehashing already known stuff. Despite this, I did manage do start a couple of writing projects that are based on Dragonlance.

I have been working on Tarsis write up, to be used post War of the Lance, as well as a piece called Dark Citadel: The Legacy of Fistandantilus. The idea is to take some of the older elements of the setting, and making them usable again, but with a twist.

The Fistandantilus piece lets the players research the Dark One’s background while exploring some of his old lairs including Skullcap. I was inspired by Castle Greyhawk in the sense that it is possible to explore the dwellings of a long lost wizard, essentially asking the question “What did he leave behind”?.

As always, I am far from done, and I will most likely never finish any of these projects, but hopefully the work will turn into a couple og mildy interesting blog posts that someone out there might find useful.

Now, off to watch Lord of the Rings.
