[I did another interview with the friendly Fantasy Inn! Check it out here!]   It was now time to ask questions, even if the answers were undesirable. Simple questions with answers like barbs, if you asked them right. If you got truthful answers. Each one of them knew all the little lies, half-truths, omissions you […]

“There are but two laws in this world as they apply to all folks capable of levelling, be they winged or finned, small or large. There is law for those of low-level. And law for those who level higher than the rest.” The Book of Levels, Chapter 4. On the whole, Teresa Atwood found it […]

All things considered, he had been extraordinarily patient. To a reason; and he did believe reason was a tenet that should be held in high esteem. He did use logic, and patience was an inescapable part of that attitude. There were reasons he had delayed. Wistram—the Earther connection—no, what he now dubbed the Earth connection. […]

He knew all the stories—or enough of them—and the history, from both worlds. Even so, the Goblins seemed so…different from any generic monster in a video game to Kevin that he never thought of them like that. They didn’t look like dirty, horrific evil placeholders in the army for the heroes to kill by the […]

[The Wandering Inn will be on break until the 14th of September for Patrons!]   …After all, what was the worst that could happen? Oblivion. Nay, worse than oblivion. A depth of horror and agony unfathomable. Death as kindness. Existence where suffering pitied you, and corruption—oh, yes. Corruption of more than just you and those […]

From the moment she was old enough to crawl, Serafierre val Lischelle-Drakle had been told that the day someone who wasn’t family or another Vampire found out what she was—she would die. Her family had, with well-meaning intent to keep her safe, and arguably bad parenting, traumatized Fierre with nightmares about being staked to death, […]

Unfun fact: of the countless illicit and legal substances over all of history, intoxicants to hallucinogens to medicines, mind-altering drinks, ingestibles, snacks, and every manner of potion and alchemical creations, no one ever made alcohol for Golems. Of course, many people would not naturally see the point of such a creation and its lack spoke […]

The Last Tide – An Innverse Graphic Novel from pirateaba   Kickstarter Note: 36 Celsius or 96.8 Fahrenheit depending on which you use. Well, this is no good. I keep checking it, but I can’t call it a fever either way. Yet here I am. I haven’t slept. I lay down, but I don’t think […]

The Last Tide – An Innverse Graphic Novel from pirateaba   It had been nearly six days. Six days of brief action regarding the two Gnolls; sightings, false flags, and updates from the Doomslayers heading north. Chieftain Xherw kept tabs on the issue. However, it was one issue of many and it said a lot […]

Do you like The Wandering Inn? How about…in French? The official translation of L’Auberge Vagabonde is up, as well as a Patreon! If you know anyone who’s been holding off because English sucks, recommend it to them! That’s right. We’re going international! I mean…someone else is. I don’t speak French. Or write it. I assume […]

(The Facebook Gamelit Society reads and reviews stories like The Wandering Inn! Give them a look here and check out the group!) (The Kickstarter for The Last Tide will be on the 24th of August! You can bookmark the page here!)     When all was said and done, she was there. When the [Wyrmpact […]

[The Wandering Inn is on its monthly week-long break! It will be back on the 14th of whatever month this is (August?), and after that for Public readers!]   Editor Contest Announcement: I am delighted to announce that the first editor I have chosen to work with from the applications is Navah Wolfe! I will […]

Mythological Creature Fact: The musk of the Demonsoul Skunk, the Balerosian native creature that deliberately sprays its victims to communicate mating instinct across a wide area, can last long enough to be two months old when scented by potential mates. The mating pheromones of the adult female Wyrm can last up to three decades.   […]

(It is the 5th Anniversary of The Wandering Inn, and in celebration (or something), Book 4: Winter Solstice is out on Audible, and as an e-book on Amazon! Also! Diana Gill’s Q&A from the Discord server can be found here!)   When they had first met, Hethon Veltras’ savior had not looked the part. Nor […]

Trigger Warning: This chapter contains numerous examples of sexual and physical assault, slavery, and various forms of torture as well as suicidal ideation.   Of all the things he had ever heard, the thought that Mrsha believed she truly was a Doombringer hit Pisces hardest. It was far from the most painful thing to be […]

(Side story chapter AND edited chapter are delayed due to…Windows Update. See Author’s Note for details. Blame Microsoft.)   Across Izril, people and things were moving at high speeds. At high relative velocity—like Ryoka expelling the contents of her guts onto the floor as the curse on her added a new layer of excitement to […]

A dream without image or sound was still a dream if you knew you were having it. Each time, he did, and it was a welcome dream. Not a happy dream. Not a…good dream. But not a bad dream, either. So he clung to it. Hoping each second would last a bit longer. Until he […]

(The Wandering Inn is on break! The author (me), is also going on my first vacation in…two years? At least a year! We’ll be back on July 13th, 2024 for Patreons! See you then!)   So they left their homes, each one for a different reason. Different species, united by a common cause. To war, […]

Like a great natural disaster, or powerful spell—or simply the clash of armies, the aftereffects, the fallout took far longer than the event itself. Processing that might take days, weeks…years… If you could even piece together the full story. That was the challenge here, for all those aware of the event, even those tangentially related […]

Two words. The inn had waited for them for so long. Two words; a Skill, it had waited for its owner to return and bring magic and time to a standstill. [Immortal Moment]. Yet it was the wrong voice who spoke. The wrong woman stood in the common room of the inn. Her eyes were […]

(The next Public chapter will be released on June 22nd, as the Patreon chapter is delayed. The revised chapter will come up as a ‘double update’ later on, but the story is delayed by one chapter due to this.)   It was time. Enough time has passed. Too much. Time was finite. Time ran out […]

Sentry Leader Ekrn marched through the halls of his village, ignoring the fact that he was tracking mud, blood, and debris across rich carpets or the spotless floors. His…village. Not how he would have referred to it; Paeth, or Paeth’s Tree by the Coast if you wanted the full, pretentious name, was a nation unto […]

On Cinaelu, the celebration of the end of chains was observed by one who remembered why the day had come about. He was far, far too young to remember it, of course. However, the generations of his kind that had passed since the Rebel of String cut her bonds had been far fewer. True, glorious […]

She was so used to moving, fighting, to the bloody now and the next battle that it was only when she stopped that Teresa Atwood realized how much she’d changed. The young woman from London had always thought she could live ‘rough’, that she had some kind of innate toughness from experiences in her life. […]
