Greetings! I am a gamer, a writer, and a long-time fan of the fantasy genre. This site was originally created on Earthlink in the mid 1990s, when I was a graduate student with far too little time on my hands but with a lot of creative energy that I needed to work off in some fashion. The site includes a variety of my original fiction, fanfiction, and gaming materials.
The following material is all of my own creation, and I present it freely with no stipulations save that no part be used or redistributed for personal profit.
Thanks for dropping by!

Section 1: D&D Fanfiction
This section includesis D&D stories hosted on the ENWorld Message Boards.
Travels through the Wild West: this is a story set in the Forgotten Realms that I wrote from 2002-03. To visit the most recent of the four threads where the story was originally serialized at ENWorld, with reader comments, click here.
The complete Travels through the Wild West, is now available in PDF format! A million thanks to reader Padril from ENWorld, who formatted the document for me. Zipped for ease of download.
The complete Travels through the Wild West, available as a single download in Microsoft Reader (*.lit) format. Some browsers will attempt to open lit files and/or convert them to HTML, so I've zipped the file for easier downloading. 462,000 words of adventure, now easily readable on desktops or Pocket PCs.

About the Author
Section 2: Neverwinter Nights User-created Content
I've trimmed this section a bit, for space reasons. All of the modules I've created are available on Neverwinter Vault, so I deleted most of those that were in this space. Just search for "Lazybones".
The Neverwinter Connections Community Guide to Dungeon Mastering This 75-page document is a comprehensive guide to the practice of DMing a game of Neverwinter Nights. Includes hints, suggestions, discussion of major issues, and contributions from a number of leading DMs and builders at NWC.
Hak Pack for the Legends of the Sword Coast Module The zip actually contains 3 haks, all by coulisfu, with an oriental theme. I provide them here for ease and continuity (coulisfu's already on version 2.2 of his rural tileset, and I don't intend to update my mod every time he changes the hak). To use, just unzip the hak files into your NWN/HAK folder.

ENWorld: what can I
say? The D&D 3e site on
the internet today. Initially
founded by Eric Noah, the site is now hosted by Morrus, and provides updates,
reviews, a variety of hosted settings and other materials, and the most dynamic
message board community for the game.
Plus, it hosts my ongoing Forgotten Realms storyhour!
The Adventurers: the
mother of all storyhours: based upon the roleplaying sessions of a group of
Georgia college students; written by DM Thomas Miller, there are over 700
chapters and the story is still growing. The link takes you to The Green Dragon
Inn, The Adventurers' home page.
WotC’s D&D Page:
Includes material for the various worlds created by TSR/Wizards of the Coast,
including some OOP (out of print) modules and accessories that can be
downloaded for free.
System Reference Document: An online resource
containing all of the elements of the d20 System that will be released under
the Open Game License.
Bioware: maker of the Neverwinter Nights CRPG. Here are some other links for NWN: Neverwinter Vault, Planet Neverwinter, and the offical forums, (with specific boards on the game itself, creating and DMing modules, and scripting).
Neverwinter Connections: This site provides an excellent game-matching service for Neverwinter Nights. I arrange all of my games there, and have thus far had a lot of success finding excellent players.
