Geomorphs | Dyson's Dodecahedron
https://rpgcharacters.wordpress.com/maps/geomorph-mapping-project
A Flask Full of Gasoline. Magical Theorems and Dark Pacts. Award Winning Dungeon Design. The geomorph mapping project was a self-challenge to produce 100 dungeon geomorphs in my old-school pen-and-paper style. It took quite a bit longer than I expected to be finished, from October of 2009 to October of 2010. Here is a compilation of the various sets of six geomorphs I’ve posted in that time – with links to the source posts. You can also download the challenge as a PDF. The Nine and Thirty Kingdoms. Which...

Scottish Superheroes: Next Big Thing
http://www.scottishsuperheroes.com/2012/11/next-big-thing.html
The occasional ramblings of Edinburgh-based writer Kirsti Wishart. Yes, yes, I know this poor wee blog has been woefully neglected but I was waiting for something to, y'know, happen. That I could blog about. And then, whaddya know, two things happen at once. First thing is that my short story, 'The Pleasure Palace' appears in The Seven Wonders of Scotland. Anthology published this month. Second thing is I get tagged by the lovely Lynsey May. What's the title of your latest story? I proposed a huge comple...

Scottish Superheroes: Graphic Scotland
http://www.scottishsuperheroes.com/2012/08/graphic-scotland.html
The occasional ramblings of Edinburgh-based writer Kirsti Wishart. One of the pleasing spin-offs of the Story Shop day came about whilst waiting in the queue for the Grant Morrison event later that evening. There I got chatting to Ariadne Cass-Maran. This was a Good Thing because it meant I got to tell her in person how great the story was that she read at the wonderful Illicit Ink. Show at Unbound the other night and also because she asked me to write a blog entry for her website, Graphic Scotland.

Aged in Oaken Heroes: Heroic Fantasy & Imagined History - Mirror of Ambrose
http://jamesenge.livejournal.com/120941.html
Aged in Oaken Heroes: Heroic Fantasy and Imagined History - Mirror of Ambrose. Aged in Oaken Heroes: Heroic Fantasy and Imagined History. What is the proper setting for heroic fantasy? Sometimes it seems that the Heroic Age is like the Golden Age of Science Fiction: twelve (according to the now-elderly wisecrack. Anyway, it is widely agreed that heroic fantasy is set in some age before we learned that digital watches were a pretty neat idea. A period frequently described as the Middle Ages. Im not one of...

Write Forward: August 2009
http://writeforward.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Components of an Author - Action, (In)sanity, and Information. What I'm doing. What makes me tick. What I've learned about writing. Friday, 28 August 2009. You are what you read. Today I am resisting the temptation to launch into either the third Euphemia Martins novel (intriguingly entitled A Death in the Asylum) or the redrafting of the synopsis of the YA novel before the final/penultimate redraft.* Today I am going to read. An awful lot of seemingly intelligent authors - like me. There were quite a fe...

Mid-Life Bassist: April 2012
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 20 April 2012. Alongside this linguistic self-flagellation, for an upcoming noise-making project I'm doing my best to become an approximately-competent Norwegian folk musician, compressing a lifetime of immersion in a complex cultural tradition into roughly three weeks. Which, as this video clip aimed at rhythm fetishists shows, is going to be interesting:. Thankfully I neither have to display my own (utterly abject) dancing skills, nor wear the. And what the hell does "authentic" mean. Bob Dylan...

Mid-Life Bassist: Every Picture Tells A Story
http://andyhgilmour.blogspot.com/2012/09/every-picture-tells-story.html
Wednesday, 26 September 2012. Every Picture Tells A Story. Along with a billion or so other folk (at the very least - there don't seem to be any exact numbers, so I'm making a conservative estimate based on the few stats I could. And then promptly disappears, so if I haven't written the fundamentals of it down, that's it. 'Tis gone. An old friend of mine, who's a writery-sort-of-fellow, has a very-similar-but-obviously-slightly-different take on visuals and the creative blobby bits of the mind here.
