I'm very excited to announce that I've officially hired an assistant. Lillian Cohen-Moore is a writer, editor, blogger, journalist...actually, I'm not sure what she isn't capable of, considering her incredible talents and diverse body of work. In fact, I had first heard about her through her successful kickstarter for an upcoming work of fiction titled "The Guide to the Village by the Sea", of which I'm happily a backer.
That work is now nearing completion, and I'm eagerly looking forward to reading it.
Having someone of Lillian's talent and professionalism is a dream come true for me, as I work to move forward and get more serious about my writing and game design.
Lillian inspires energy and focus, and has already helped me organize my priorities for the coming year.
I look forward to working more with Lillian, and all the new and wondrous things I can achieve as a result of this partnership.
For more on Lillian, be sure to check out her website at http://www.lilliancohenmoore.com
Many thanks to everyone who applied for the position; it was difficult making a final decision, because there were a number of exceptional applicants and a great many of whom I'd love to work with.
Building a Rumor List
Looking to build a rumour list for a Multi-dimensional, Multi-temporal rogue (as in not fixed in a system/place, as opposed to having to do with thieves) dungeon that shifts through planes and places and times. Share this with anyone you know who might find this interesting and/or would like to help.
There is a dungeon in your world that few know about; a secret place with deep chasms more ancient than time itself. It is a dark place, full of strangeness, and home to creatures and beasts and men who are all filled with an insatiable hunger.
Those who know of this place know some of what lies hidden inside: the terrible and wondrous things that fill the many chambers and intersecting hallways.
It is a place of secrets; of forbidden knowledge, and future history. It hoards information like treasure, filling its deepest recesses with legend and mysteries of worlds and times and places that lie far beyond this one.
What rumors have you heard of this place? What secrets are whispered in your world of this dimension-spanning structure?
Help me build a rumour list. If there are a lot of comments, I will create lists based on specific categories, such as inhabitants, entryways, artifacts, etc.
Below, tell me what you know, or think you know, or have heard of the Secret Dungeon.
