Some time ago I found this writer alignment chart on Twitter, (or maybe it was Facebook?). As a casual player of DnD I found this very amusing and began to spread the meme around and was pleasantly surprised by the results.
Myself? I am a True Plantser. Most of my ...

Make it So Again
There are certain story templates that we see played out over and over throughout the years, decades and centuries.
One of my favorites is the one where the Old Warrior or the Old Master is called out of retirement to rejoin the fight for one last ...
Worldbuilding with Playsets
Banes at 12:00AM, July 4, 2019
While rambling through youtube I saw some reviews of these playsets that caught my eye. They were for the old classic The Muppet Show.

Lately I've been watching the original Twilight Zone series. I'm still early in the series. I watched it as a kid, but there are a LOT of episodes I've never seen. Of course, the Twilight Zone is in my bones just because it's so much a ...

An important, but often overlooked aspect of creating a webcomic is what rating it will have, ie whether your comic is adult, young adult, children or x-rated. This question, whilst not always thought about at the conceptual stage, is by no means any less important. It is a critical way ...
