Re: Before anyone else thinks it's a briiliant idea to write another darklord with a personality split...

I remember Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) from when I was a kid in the 1980s and 1990s. It was intertwined with the Satanic Panic. Quelle surprise , most of these cases turned out to be fraudulent. If you create a Malken like Darklord, there is zero chance that it resembles a real life mental ...

Re: Call for submissions for QtR33!

Can someone send me the template for this year's QtR? I don't want to overwork the editor, because my submission has a LOT of images.

Great. I will have submission this year. I have already finished 16 entries so far. I think people will be surprised.

Re: First debate of 2025 - AI image or not ?

Artists are one part of the AI automation story, but not the entire story. Entire sectors are about to be eliminated by AI, such as human call centres, and most human translators. Are these people not worthy? The answer is that they are worthy, and they are going to be replaced anyway. I'm ...

Re: In which University did Dr. Mordenheim study?

It's been a while since I read the novel. Perhaps I'll put the file into Gemini and dig up the information.

Re: Madame Eva


I actually like (not sure if I would use) the "illegitimate sister" for Madam Eva. Gives them a closer bond.


I don't like this. I prefer the "bioessentialist" bloodline Vistani. I don't think that the Vistani leader would be of mixed heritage. But if one wanted to go in this direction as a ...

Re: Domain of the month - Gundarak!

In his writeup in the Gazetteers, Azrael has the "Hollow" feat, which means he was just born without a soul somehow. And yes, he's immune to magic jar and other effects that target the soul. On the upside, once he dies, there's no way for him to come back. There won't be anything left. For some ...

Re: Domain of the month - Gundarak!

.In Knight of the Black Rose, iirc, the Guardian looked like a giant woman with antlers, made of shadow. She had a companion mastiff made of shadow, to which she fed the souls.
They were both bitterly disappointed by Azrael.


Lord Soth offered up his own soul, but warned the guardian that it ...

Re: First debate of 2025 - AI image or not ?

I can't pay a human artist for work in a netbook distributed for free. And for all the "starving artist" talk, commissions of art can cost $1000. No guarantee that the artist will share your vision, even after the concept is fully explained as well. With AI I can generate hundreds of images and ...

Re: The Trouble with Sri Raji

Regarding the Sri Rajian pantheon, I would emphasize the Vedic deities over those deities who rose to prominence in the Epic and later eras. That pares down the complexity of the pantheon, as you requested, and (I think) helps to avoid being offensive to those who practice the Hindu faith. One ...
