Dark Souls Remastered! I'm back to grinding against Kalameet. That oversized lizard is going down!

Third post in a row. I blame the inability to edit post after certain time. Anyway, I decided to skip Buttar for now. I am getting the Tamuli books however.

And I decided to throw in the Tamuli series by David Eddings for some lighter reading: "Shinning Ones", "Hidden City" and "Domes of Fire".

I'm getting some Christmas stuff and decided to add some more to it. In this case Pritt Buttar's tetralogy on the Eastern Front in the Great War: "Collision of Empires", "Germany Ascendant", "Russia's Last Gasp" and "Splintered Empires". There are a ton of books about the Western Front in the...

I started writing when I was a youngster and played the Warhammer Fantasy miniature games. There was a huge community of such fan writers back then and I wrote some stories about the exploits of my Khornate Warriors of Chaos army. Good times. :) My writing has been very, very much on-and-off...

Waiting for motivation is like waiting for the sky to fall down. You'll be waiting for rather long time in that case. Better to soldier on and write something when you can. You may write crap but crap can be polished and edited into something else. A blank page can never become anything but a...

I do this all the time. Mostly because I love history and reading about historical cultures so I want to bring this to my stories.
