Stuff I think about
Since I’d first come up with the idea of having a “Gray Mouser” to Nonna‘s “Fafhrd”, and had decided her pairing character was to be a magic-user of some sort, I’ve had the scene where the two first meet absolutely…
“What an odd title…” is something I’m sure you’re thinking when you see this one. “What tf is ‘Kethyras’?” Well, dear readers, let me share with you, the meaning of this one. But first, an image. “Oh… it’s a ……
As I described as part of the original “Nonna” story, that was a written back-story for a new character I “rolled up” to play with a D&D group. After a few sessions, though, Things Happened™ (mostly real-life stuff intervening on…
