Roleplaying, where does it end?
This article was submitted and posted as an opinion editorial at Player2Player.net. During a site upgrade, there was a major crash, and the original boards were lost. At the time, the names of the person I wrote about (Altariel/Katie/Rob) were changed (Sundancer/June/Steve) because this was written immediately after the incident I describe, and because there […]

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, Summer 2000 This is another of my AC Darktide stories, one that I had forgotten about until a chance link from the TAO website lead me to find this and the “Promise Fulfilled” story.

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, July (?), 2000 I used to write more roleplaying stories when I first began playing Asheron’s Call. I started playing on Darktide – the full PvP server. Back in the beginning, there was more RPing on the server in general, and I enjoyed writing. This story was […]

Originally posted on Circle of the Eternal Dragon’s Guild Forum, July 2000 I wrote this story while I was on vacation in California for my brother-in-law’s wedding. I managed to catch an upper respiratory infection while out there, so instead of partying and having fun, I felt like I was trying to hack up a […]

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, March/April 2000. Part 3 of the “creation” story for my Asheron’s Call character, Rhyssa Fireheart. ———————————————————————————————— Mountains again. And ruins surrounding this lifestone. She touched the stone to set her soul to this place, and realized that she was probably even farther south again, further away from […]

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, March 2000 Part 2 of the “creation” story for my Asheron’s Call character, Rhyssa Fireheart. ——————————————————————————————— The portal seemed to last forever, but eventually she found herself staring at one of the twirling blue lifestones. Looking around, she didn’t recognize anything; this dry, desert land certainly wasn’t […]

Originally posted on Crossroads of Dereth Tales Forum, February/March 2000 When my RL friends and I started playing Asheron’s Call retail back in December of 1999, we filled all our extra character slots with mules, and chained them together to form a tree. One of my characters was a mage that I named Rhyssa Fireheart. […]
