Zendikar–Water Elemental

I played D&D with Cody, Josh, and Kate this Friday–it was our Zendikar Campaign. I am using the great Zendikar Source Book And the players fought in a Wizards Lab–the power of the lab was released causing a Water Elemental to be summoned: And the lab to be come a portal ship which transported them…

The Devil You Know by Erin M Evans

New book cover out for the next Brimstone Angels novel–I am so excited to read this one! Also, I hope that this time out we have a book tour, which I do not think she has done before; but, since there so few D&D Novel writers these days I think we should be able to…

One of the big ones was that IVC’s stage was double booked so we were moved to the lawn outside the student center–which caused a lot…
7. Not His Best

Another Franz Kafka Dream–looks like this is becoming a theme in our daily reading. These dreams are horrible. God’s interaction with them is more like a highlighter… I also really like the information which “what I said was that writing makes everything clearer and worse“. Which is totally solid.
6. See That You Remember

This one is just a joke. A simple statement that God is willing to create the great Tolstoy Terror. Felt like a New Yorker cartoon at a lot of levels…
