Burly trembling on the mountainside. Place your ear to the ground and you'll hear their bickering.

Our most recent message reads:

Seal now. Troubles below, must handle. Seal almost done.
How long has it been since they gathered? Greedy, too much so. They must be out of minerals by now. Their tunnels collapsing.
They're coming back up. Can you imagine? The thick, dusty air. The dark. Darkness and fire. Driven is he who carves his own tomb.
The seal will crack. The mountain will fall, crumble over their heads.

Our world is no longer the same. Their masters have gone. Chaos reigns.

So, I was watching Spartacus and the Roguelike bell went off in my head on a particular scene where a guy gets his teeth smashed out in a gory way.

Showmanship, skill, victory, glory!
Different arenas with different stakes and rules. Different masters, rulers, with varied attitudes, want and needs. Different audiences with likes and dislikes. And, of course, the life of a gladiator. The fights, the training, the Gods, the inspiration. Desperation, lust... a story in every one of them.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Probably not the first time this has come up and certainly not the last.

Fine! We're leaving.
That's the last thing I remember saying to the sour hosts back "home". We, me and my 6 companions, had finally worked hard enough to get out of that retched place.

The wagon we built was a sign of things to come. The first brick in the road leading to adventure and glory! The second brick came from our hard labor. Working day and night to afford supplies for our journey. Every other brick we forged with words forming stories, constantly motivating us to get out and see the world.

Work was tough as the dwarves surrounding us were no fans of what we called freedom. Get a job, stick with it and then die. NO THANK YOU, good overseer.
But now, finally, we're on our way out of there. This, dear diary, is the birth of our true selves!

And so they traveled. Days passed. Then weeks. Then months.



Constantly traveling was... uh, a bad idea. We are TIRED! Gods, I've never felt like this before. My bones gnaw against my flew. My brow is constantly sweaty. My throat permanently parched.
We've reached an agreement. Setting up camp is but a temporary solution to a permanent problem. We're going to construct a new home. OUR home. Well, we really have no other choice seeing as how the wagon just collapsed. Maybe pulling it through thick woodland wasn't such a good idea. Traveling east, we were supposed to come out by a large mountain but instead got bogged down in mud and clay. At least there's a stream nearby. Maybe things won't be so bad once we settle in.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyway, I'm about to see what's left in the wagon. We should have some tools, food and beverage left.

Pipes! Hell, even finely crafted bongs. This, plus a talented botanist and you'll have some happy idle dwarves. If the setting isn't too atrocious, that is. Bad trips can cause severe freak outs, you know.

Hello there.

You know, I like doodling. When I doodle, I tend to draw characters from various media. Sometimes I strive for perfection. Sometimes I just let it flow. Perfection isn't a very fun thing to go for so I enjoy the free-form variants a whole lot more. Thing is, I can't really control when that'll work. Inspiration has always eluded me. Can't see it but sometimes I feel it. Sometimes it's just there and seeps out without my knowing and the result usually puts a smile on my face.

Ok, I may be rambling at this point.

This thread!
How about we post our creations here. Show and tell, if you will. There are no set standards. Stick-figures with big ol' heads, sad women in noir settings, fluffy kittens sitting on the moon... anything goes! As long as it's a character from some... let's say game. Yes, characters from games. That'll do. Tell a lil' story too if you feel like it. Share!
