The Problem with Death

By | September 24, 2009

Death isn’t permanent in Azeroth. Except when it is permanent (Fordring’s child, for instance). How do we handle “dying” in an instance versus “dying” in an RP story? How do any protagonists or villains in our stories stay dead when any two bit paladin, priest, shaman or druid can resurrect them? I’ll be honest, we [...]

Friday Fiction: Late Late Edition

By | May 22, 2009

I wrote this for Pill for following a regular blogging schedule. It will also, hopefully, jump start a horde-alliance conflict. The Bloodelf couple in the stands kept to themselves, whispering in their language. They screeched with joy when a Sindoeri rider dehorsed a human flying the colors of Stormwind. Bricu stood nearby watching the match. [...]

Nostalgia: Verigan’s Fist

By | April 6, 2009

The Lovely Anna linked a song the other day that has meaning for her paladin, Aely.  It’s a very pretty WoW-inspired song (with machinima to go along with it!) called “Darrowshire.”  Not only did watching and listening get me all sniffly, it made me nostalgic for some of the old quests and the stories that [...]
