Here is a link to my sumbission to the One Page Dungeon Contest 2010. It's called "Dungeons of the Forsaken Abbey" and it's based on an actual homebrew adventure we were playing not long ago. Hope you like it and wish me luck!
Since I started playing Dungeons & Dragons back there in 1987 I've had many characters. With some of them I played long-term campaigns and with others just a few sessions. With time I started playing other games than D&D. This blog is dedicated to all of them and the hours of fun we've had together. Here they are along with other musings...

Azincourt
I've just finished reading "Azincourt" a novel by Bernard Cornwell. He's my favorite writer of the historical novel genre. So far I've read the Grail Quest (Harlequin, Vagabond and Heretic) and the Saxon Stories (The Last Kingdom, The Pale Horseman, The Lords of the North and Sword Song) series. Now I'm waiting to get my hands on "The Burning Land", the last one published (but hopefully not the last to be written) of the Saxon serie. Cornwell masterfully entwines a fictional storyline with historical facts to create a literary masterpiece. All the research made by the author is evident in every detail described and one feels transported to the time depicted. A book worth reading.

This is a quick scketch that I called "Champion" and it portraits an old character that one of my actual players used in another campaign. The character's name is Elthanas, an elven cavalier and Prince of the Gamboge Forest, which I mentioned in an old post here. The visor of the helmet is the beak and wings of a raven (or at least that was the intention) which was his coat of arms that can be partially seen on his shield. He's weilding a flaming sword.

Here goes another one. This was inspired by the ranger in the Unearthed Arcana and it was the portrait for one of my characters (Finloss).
