Rhilshen Story Updates
You are my enemy at Dragon’s Mark involves Chryrie Nightsar and Alysia Skye’s dispute with Lord Veighn Yhaull and Alysia’s captivity at his hands.  While I think the writing is good, and the story is very significant as far as character development is concerned, it ends somewhat abruptly because I got tired of [...]

Trust + PC = NPC?

Thinking more about Drama Free Roleplay.
My characters aren’t here to act as NPC’s for yours or vice versa.
That is a key point to keep in mind in free form roleplaying, where one of the main precepts is that you choose what happens to only your own character. But it gets sticky when roleplay [...]

Story Updates
It’s Complicated is a character development piece that has been brewing (fermenting) in my head for a month, and I finally found the words for it after a few nights of roleplay recently in the Red Dragon Inn at Dragon’s Mark. It was co-written with Chryrie Nightstar. “To Hell with them” would have worked [...]

Bigger Fish

The intro to the Bigger Fish Rhilshen campaign is up, so… Lilithiel and LeoShades need to comment or email/IM me with their character names/races/occupations, and we can get started.   I’ll set the scene further when I know what you’re going to play.  I promise it will be fun.

Rhilshen site updates

I found out today that I’m pretty much the only who checks the “front page” at www.rhilshen.com. Everyone else almost always goes STRAIGHT to the forums, bypassing various site update announcements, storyline hooks, polls, and links.
One of the Rhilshen members pointed out that this was because there was too much content cluttering the front page. It [...]

poser practice

Click to embiggen.
This latest Poser render was a ‘keep in practice’ effort while working on some of the details of Rhilshen’s Sethillian humans. Yes, I’m still using Poser 5 and Victoria 3. Even knowing exactly what I wanted and how to get there, it took several hours for me to refine the elements. That’s much [...]

Rhilshen adventure

Family time permitting, I want to run a quick semi-freeform adventure in the Rhilshen flashchat (or maybe AOL/AIM) some time this weekend or the next. It’s semi-freeform because there will be a GM involved (me) and dice (1d6/2d20) will be used to determine some of the combat encounters. 
If you’re interested, let me know what character [...]

RPG World-Building Resources

The Rhilshen Lorebook’s contents were spawned from my imagination, but there have been significant contributions from other people.

Brian (aka leoshades) built more than half of the pantheon, one of the continents, and several races. He also came up with the Ritual of Sundering and the War of the Ancients.
My twin (aka Lilithiel) has added little [...]

The Three C’s

Free Form Roleplaying is commonly described as roleplaying without rules. Lacking the reassuring, orderly structure provided by GMs, tabletop sourcebooks, regular character level-ups, and predictable NPC villains and monsters, FFRP is more interactive and collaborative fiction than traditional pen-and-paper roleplaying.  However, even without rules, there are three fundamental guidelines that make it work: Cooperation, Consent, and Courtesy.

Cooperation: [...]
