Dragon Heresy and Grappling Heresy?
A quick Dragon Heresy update. Things are moving along, and monsters are being written. I’m super-excited about my lizardfolk writeup, and the elementals and giants are pretty fun too. Actually, the undead are kinda awesome. Anyway, having a specific setting to tie monsters into is a great creative aid. In other news, I got some…

Since the game’s launching zone is Norse-flavored, the schools are flavored by futhark runes,…

Next time you want to stab me in the back, have the guts to do it to my face.
If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back
At least you are aiming.
