Crossed Swords: All About Words

This is where you can find my stories, writing samples and related stuff. In other words, this is where the action is. The section will keep growing and changing as I create more (and better) material. Regular updates shall be forthcoming.

Fantasy:

Lord & Victor -- RPG fiction, totalling 557 words. Details the personality of a castle lord who's just repelled an army of invaders. Winning entry on Jspektr's All-In-One Writing bootcamp on the RPG.net Freelancers forum.

Due West -- A free sample of the fiction from the Book of Jalan by Flyingmice LLC. This is the actual introduction to the book.

Science-Fiction:

Street -- A free-to-read online serial.

The Washington Herald -- A free sample of the fiction from the game Cold Space by Flyingmice LLC. These are the first five articles from the story, gradually kicking off the ongoing narrative.

Other:

ARC Universal Roleplaying System -- My personal ultralight, do-everything RPG system.
