This Blog deals with an ongoing role-playing game between myself (in Albuquerque, NM) and my Great Friends, Brian and Carol Bentley (in Kentucky). We still play after all these years, its a fun time with friends...and hey, what more do you want? Since I moved to NM, we decided we should continue with RPG's & use Skype to do so.
The setting is a fantasy world, of our own making. Think a combo of Tolkien & Robert E Howard. Not quite 'High Fantasy", yet a little more that "Low Fantasy"... there is magic, yet it often comes with a price. We've got many of the standard fantasy style races. Humans of course, & Elves, Dwarves, Goblins (of various subspecies), Ogres & Giants, Gremlins (small little guys with thick leathery skin of scales/plates up to 3ft tall-very curious & always messing with new traps, wheel designs, gadgets, etc), there are various aquatic races/"fish men", dragons (not your standard-"Oh, its a dragon, let's kill it" type fair... you meet a dragon in this world-most or all of you will die).
What we DON'T have are Halflings (Yes I will apologize to some people) but I opted not to have them- a world different than Tolkien's. Also, there are NO "Orcs" per se. All are "Goblinoids" of some fashion... if you read 'The Hobbit", he speaks of only "goblins" then in the later trilogy there are "Orcs"... sure that can be debated for years... point is I like Goblins and they come in many, MANY different forms...
Why do this at all? Well, plainly to keep a record, to keep my friends updated and a quick area we can all access to see what's been going on, and for anyone else who like fantasy and RPG's....
Welcome to Our World...
