    Software for world building?

    I've used campaign cartographer for a few years now, very easy to use.

    Eating horsemeat?

    if you look up the Army manual FM 21-76 there is a good way to preserve meat in there, if one of your characters still has a cloak. If you want to see it in action, check out my vid on youtube "campfire pig jerky". I killed a wild boar (sow actually) and smoked up a large portion of the meat...

    loved the baldurs gates games, but my favorite classic game would have to be Daggerfall.

    Ask me about Hunting!

    I knew as much, if not the term used to describe it. A rose by any other name ;) That condition comes in quite handy when tracking wounded game, its clockwork. Thank you!

    Need some help Re: Portals

    maybe unless you approach the portal from the "front" it isn't there at all?

    Ask me about Hunting!

    absolutely! mostly it has to do with conditions of the soil prior to the track being imprinted, and the weather conditions acting upon the track afterward. extremely wet mud doesn't leave much of a readable track, hard packed dirt leaves very little as well. rock, even less (then you start...

    what should be the next big fantasy movie or show?

    Same, and honestly, using the same characters and plot line, Dragonlance has all the components to be amazing in my opinion...the books themselves are just a little outdated now. I tried doing a re-read about a year ago...only got through the first two...but MAN, in jr. high, those were the...

    Diablo III

    love the game, but I sure wish there was more content...I'm still banging my head against the wall in act 3 inferno with my barb...but making a little bit of money on the side in the RMAH...nothing to write home about, but its paid for the game and then some!

    Where do you prefer to write?

    I need quiet to write, mostly because I'm easily distracted. I'm about to go on a year long tour in Korea without my family...so I'm hoping to finish my novel while I'm there!

    Are the elves really that boring ?

    I like all the elf stuff...I actually prefer a series that is dominated by humans, but still has a healthy dose of "other" beings running around. I love dark fantasy, but man, give me a tasslehoff for comic relief any day!

    Ask me about Hunting!

    All, I have deep love for all things outdoors. I am brand new here, but I have noticed a few threads already asking about hunting and/or game processing. Hopefully this is enough street cred for ya, I'd genuinely like to help! I've been an avid hunter (rifle and bow) for 25 years. Helped my...

    Ask me about Hunting!

    OP, I'm new here, so I dont want anyone to think I'm self promoting or anything. but I'll send you a link to my youtube channel. I have 10-15 videos on there giving tutorials on how to field dress and butcher game. I'm a part time hunting guide on the weekends, and I worked at a slaughterhouse...

    Started my novel...again...here for more inspiration!

    I have started my novel. Again. I think this makes the 5th attempt in roughly 10-15 (gosh 20?) years. Vastly different story line than the first few editions. I started writing when I my view of fantasy was fairly limited in scope. After a few 100 fantasy books later...I'm hopefully using a...
