Emory, A Warlock Born (Part II) Nothing’d Be The Same
Posted in Dungeons And Dragons, Fantasy, Fiction, Writing on June 2, 2022 by darkjade68Part II Of Emory, A Warlock Born
Doragon Kishu (Dragon Rider & Paladin)

Emory, A Warlock Born
by Doragon
Part II – Nothing’d Be The Same
My father is a terrifying being…
…though I’ve seen him a thousand times, when he came into my room the next instance, holding the black book I’d opened, it sent dread through me like a shot
In that same instance my glowing runes that floated above me dropped upon my chest… he did not see
‘EMORY!! DID YOU TOUCH THIS BOOK?!’ he spoke sending tremors straight through me and the walls that surrounded me
My mind slowed…
…what would I say?
How could I lie… he’d know
‘Yes father,’ I replied, knowing this could be the end for me… Destroyed and forgotten
He calmed, then step forward, and kneeled before my bed… I’d never seen anything like this from before
‘Son… You must be careful with the books in my library… They’re…’ he stood
‘Don’t…

Doragon Kishu (Dragon Rider & Paladin)
Emory – A Warlock Born

Emory – A Warlock Born
by Doragon
Part 1
Emory was a small child, in a dangerous place…
A half Demon, pitch black of skin, eyes of glowing blue, he’d sit cross legged on the floor of his father’s library, studying his Runes
His father never really spoke to Emory, they’d sit across from one another at dinner…
…his Father all the way at the end of a long, fancy table…
…whilst Emory sat at the opposite, always with his Runes, with an occasional glance at his Father’s end of the table
But they never met eyes
Emory never met his mother…
…truth be known, he’s not even sure what Race she was… Human… Elf… He couldn’t be sure, and his Father surely never spoke of her
It was a Demon life… in a Demon place… his home was almost the size…

The Best Breakfast Tacos I’ve Ever Made/Had (Vegan)
Posted in Vegan, Vegan Cooking, Vegan Recipes with tags Breakfast, Cooking, Food, Vegan Breakfast on May 23, 2022 by darkjade68Want To Give Dungeons & Dragons A Try? Check Out, ‘Darkness To The North’
Posted in D & D, Dungeons And Dragons, Professional Dungeon Master on May 23, 2022 by darkjade68In January of this year, I decided to give Professional Dungeon Mastering a try (Currently running a Monday & Friday Game)
I’ve played Dungeons & Dragons on and off for 35 years, published my first Adventure Module for it in 2019, and have been working on the 2nd Book since
And I’m a Writer/Filmmaker
The reality is, I’m a Storyteller & I love it, what an amazing place/way to immerse in a world & a character
On that note, I’m beginning two 1 to 3 session games/adventures… The first will be on Thursdays 12-3pm, PST… And the 2nd on Saturdays, also at 12-3pm PST
By running these shorter Campaigns (Like I say, 1 to 3 sessions), it can give people an opportunity to check out Dungeons & Dragons, without committing to a long term weekly game
Though they may want to after playing, cuz D & D is great, lol
Anyway, if you’d like to give it a shot, you can sign up here;
Thursday ‘DARKNESS TO THE NORTH’
Or Saturday ‘DARKNESS TO THE NORTH’
Free Session Zeroes will take place once you sign up sometime before the actual first session, where we can build your Character

The Legend Of Vox Machina, A True Review (3+ months after Premiere)
Posted in Dungeons And Dragons, Television Review with tags Critical Role, Legend Of Vox Machina on May 12, 2022 by darkjade68
My History With Critical Role
I started watching Critical Role on and off in 2017
I didn’t super click with the characters, but I loved Grog & Travis Willingham, and Matt was a tremendous Dungeon Master (Which is my thing)
I will say, the group’s friendships were what were most awesome to me, so rare to have a group of friends that are that close, at least that has been true for me
I was super excited for Season 2, caught it from the beginning, and pretty much watched the whole thing
Loved Jester (Laura Baily), Fjord (A Paladin/Warlock Half-Orc with 2 accents, come on), and the tragedy turned legend of Mollymauk (Taliesin has great concepts for characters)
The Kickstarter Project & Future Animated Series
I was not surprised at all about Critical Role’s Kickstarter success, I believe they’d done one for a D & D Mini which shot over a million, surely one for an Animated Special would blow that away, and it did
The Legend Of Vox Machina
I admit, though I didn’t really click with the original Critical Role Season 1 Characters (Save Grog, who I loved), I was still very excited to see the animated series
Like I say, the friendships of the group, coupled with Matt’s world, coupled with all of their immense Voice Acting talent, coupled with Titmouse (Who seemed awesome and inspired), seemed like they’d churn out at least a decent show…
…but it’s much more than that
The Story
(SPOILERS)
For me, the Briarwoods were my absolute favorite part of either of their first two D & D Campaigns, and I also love Vampires, so I loved them
Starting with the Dragon Mystery (I also love Dragons) also worked
The Main Characters
Scanlan, Scanlan, Scanlan… His character was absolutely hilarious, and Sam Riegal’s songs were just awesome, executed with a subtleness, never going over the top, hilarious and enjoyable
Pike such heart… Ashley Johnson just created such a compassionate, hearty, deep character, and I love her in this
Grog I admit I loved him so much in the Critical Role Season 1 actual play, it would be difficult to match Travis’s body of work portraying him, but in the series he is absolutely hilarious, not just dumb, he’s intuitive and has a giant heart
Keyleth was/is just great… I really didn’t connect with her in the in person Campaign, though I know many did, but in the series she’s not just powerful, she is bright eyed, and full of light… Marisha does a really subtle/strong job with her
Vax I actually really struggled with Vax in the live Campaign, but in the series, Liam just voices him with such subtlety (That word again)
He’s probably my favorite character in the series
Vex was tough in the live play, because I grew up with a really not nice sister, so I just don’t have a lot of tolerance for not niceness, lol. But in the series, on first watch, she didn’t really stand out to me… But after watching it many more times, she has some really great moments/comments/one liners, and left me wanting to know/hear more from her in the future
Percy Once again, an amazing concept, Taliesin does not disappoint… And I admit, the first hand full of episodes, I really dug Percy’s ‘Batman-esq-ness’… But by the end, he felt a bit much for me at least… I’m sure I’ll get a lot of slack for feeling this way, as I know by watching a lot of React Videos on YouTube, he’s most people’s favorite character… That said, Taliesin’s voice work in The Legend Of Vox Machina is exceptional
Final Verdict
Great Villains, amusing and full of heart Heroes, awesome Animation, great Music by Neal Acree (And songs by Sam etc.), great heavily Matt influenced Story, cool/interesting animation, The Legend Of Vox Machina is a blast, can’t wait for next Season!
