Songs of Cornell: Just Getting Started
There really wasn’t anything Cornell Starblossom liked more than a lively tavern at night. Night was when everybody shook of the day’s responsibilities, relaxed, and loosened their laces, especially their purse strings.

Cold Light
A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, I played Star Wars: The Old Republic as a Chiss Sith Marauder. Considering how much of the new Star Wars media I’ve consumed of late, it feels right to revisit the characters of that time. And, hey, it just might make for a good… Continue reading Cold Light
