A slight status report. I'm just finishing up a novella involving vampires - putting the last touches and driving the final stake right now in fact. After that, it's back to Warhammer and Temple of the Serpent, the second in the Thanquol and Boneripper series.

Undead and mutant ratmen. Suddenly devil-worshipping barbarians seem pretty normal.

Was that Shadows over Sylvania?
The continuing saga of a near sighted vampire's search for a truly long lasting light bulb?

Oh, but that would open the door for vampire elves, orcs and all soprts of silliness. It never worked for D&D, I don't think Warhammer wants to go the same route.

just kiddin dude! Besides a brain can only handle so much expansion....if you ever want to check out some fantasy that dives headlong into the realm of silliness read some of Troy Denning's Dark Sun novels. Don't know what that guy was smoking but he needs to give it to Nasa for study

You think that's bad, I dare you to read the novelization for 'Keep on the Borderlands'.

Yeah, a guy can only handle so much widening of imaginary perception...I think that was the Genius of Howard and Poe...Their stuff sucked you in so deep you would start to realize there is a gray area between fantasy and reality. They managed to tread so skillfully through and around that gray area. And of course their storytelling was so powerful and visual that it was easy to forget you were following events in a fabricated world. I'm not sure that Poe ever mentioned any real towns or places in his stories, or for that matter even mention locales period. It was always so forgotten valley, or an ancient underground passage or whatever
