What would you like for your birthday?I’ve always wanted a holocaust cloak.  Appearing to go up in flames is such a powerful image.  Why, in some less sophisticated lands, you could probably get yourself deified with one of those things ( Read more... )

Vizzini arrived back at his cottage, his head brimming with ideas after his conversation with Captain Yates.  There was no point wallowing around this strange world, accomplishing nothing, when there were probably hundreds of different races and species, all of whom probably had their petty grievances and rivalries.  There was no reason not to ( Read more... )

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?Hmmm, what do you think?  I’ve traveled to foreign lands, made frequent voyages across eel-infested seas, worked with giants, and made starting wars my career.  I think it’s safe to say that I have an adventurous streak.  It makes life more interesting.  It’s one thing to learn about the world in the ( Read more... )

Is there any truth to the saying, keep your friends close but your enemies closer?Oh definitely there’s some truth to it, although, I’m hoping that it doesn’t catch on as common practice.  It makes my job easier when people don’t know their enemies.  For instance, if the people of Florin knew Guilder better, they’d know that soldiers of Guilder ( Read more... )

There are those who are good with a sword, accomplished as sailors, or knowledgeable about making spells and potions. Those are all ( Read more... )

My dream occupation? Well, I was very good at my last line of work -- starting wars. It's a noble profession with a glorious tradition, and it has its share of benefits. You get to travel to strange and exotic lands. You have the freedom of being self-employed. And your successes go down in history! But as much as I've enjoyed it, I really ( Read more... )

Oh? You haven't heard of me? Really?? That's inconceivable. Surely you must have been living under a rock or in some very remote backwater of the kingdom ( Read more... )
