Weapons of Old has pushed my writing abilities to their limits.  It’s got fantasy-world pirates, creepy dungeon crawls, magic swords, nine-headed whips, dryads, giant battles, epic speeches, golems, existential philosophy, and a whole lot more!  I sincerely hope you enjoy my newest effort!  Oh, I’ve also published volume 1 of the saga, A Door into Evermoor, in paperback!

      • So cool. Sounds like it’s a balancing act to have a large worldbuilding while still having a plot flow. I know next to nothing about this. Fooling around with making a comic with one of my loser friends: 2 losers then. I plan for it to generally be full of diarrhea. I might buy my friend one of your books.

      • If you do, I hope they enjoy it! Yeah, I basically want everything to feel novel and enticing while still keeping the narrative energy. I was never able to get into Tolkien because it’s too much like a history textbook.

      • Thanks 😊😊 Yeah that’s the weird thing about Lord of the Rings. It’s a slog (I think that’s what you’re referring to?). I remember it not bothering me, and not even noticing it at all, when I was teenager and then my English teachers said “Guys, Tolkien is slow” and I thought “What the hell man!!!” But now I see his point. I tried to reread the Lord of the Rings recently and I just couldn’t do it… frig. I still think the Lord of the Rings has one of the greatest plots of all time even if it’s execution is off. What about you?

      • Yeah, it absolutely has one of the best plots, especially considering the context. Tolkien wrote a lot of the background for it on napkins during WWI, iirc. Also, his take on Norse myth was revolutionary, and completely changed how people think about elves in the fantasy world. And, of course, everyone knows about the linguistics.

      • Wow that is so cool!! I didn’t know that. How did he revolutionarily adapt Norse myth? I’m guessing you’re referring to the Valar. Seems like everything is based off the cast of races Tolkien created. World of Warcraft MMORPG has orcs, elves, dwarves, etc. I’ve read the Silmarillion. When I read it 15 years ago or whatever I thought it was the most amazing thing I ever read. Then recently I reread it and I was like “meh”. Though I really adored the part about Beren & Luthien. Just generally too depressing a book. I think the reason I didn’t like it is because I suck. Are your books inspired by Tolkien?

      • Iirc, it’s what he based all the races on, maybe some of the monsters. He basically turned them into how we think of D&D nowadays. My books are more inspired by the Dark Tower than Tolkien, but Tolkien inspired the Dark Tower, so I guess he did inspire me, lol!

      • Hahahh awesome 😊 Just looked up the Dark Tower… and the Browning poem it was inspired by. Looks powerful. I like Norse myths and most myth. They had a realistic sense that the world was going to end in shit-fire (Ragnarok). Have you seen the Dark Tower movie?

      • Frig lol. Something about adapting books to movies. I like it when movies deviate from the book in an inspiring even big way. Like the Sailor Moon TV show vs. the Sailor Moon manga 🌙

      • That’s a great way to say it. “Spirit/ambience”. That difficult-to-verbalize holistic energy of something. I feel like I have a grasp on the Lord of the Ring’s spirit. Maybe the Steve Jackson LotR movies are better than the books lol… or more accessible.

      • Definitely more accessible! I think one of the reasons is the emphasis on drawing the movie audience into the battles, where the books just kind of report on them. But that’s understandable, seeing as Tolkien was in WWI.

      • Cool 😊 Sounds Tolkien had a similar experience to you in warfare. Seems like a peaceful guy in general. Man he sure had a broad range: reading Beowulf in super archaic English, making up his own ridiculously extensive Elvish languages, writing epoch-making fantasy. I tried to learn Quenya at one point but gave up. It has verb tenses that don’t exist in English. What did you think of https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0077869/ ? (Older Lord of the Rings movie.) I should read me some Stephen King while wearing adult diapers.

      • Cool I can’t remember the hobbit one very well. Can’t remember the LOTR one well either except it had some incredible creative aesthetics… very disappointing ending though. LOTR all the way!!!
