Behind the DM Screen Vol. II
DIR By: Dungeon Master
Date: August 22, 2023, 4:53 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I'll keep Volume I locked, but its still viewable. Just going to
open a new one up for Volume II
Behind the DM Screen II Return to Dragon Isles: Attention Please
First real danger this last chapter. Cut it very close. Mikal
was trying to be nice and let Lashia sleep five hours instead of
three hours.
He won't be making that mistake again.
I think I wanted to use undead instead of Sea-Elves, but
Sea-Elves won out. Sea-Elf Bandits.
Las's Wand of Wind, given to Lashia for the trip.
So almost there, going to get there quick now.
I've Probably mentioned this before, but the First Voyage to the
Dragon Isles which I'll collect one of these days, is Las and
Marilee and this time, doing the return with Lashia and Damara,
two more experienced Elves, the original Griffon riders. Just
thought it would be a neat mirroring these many years later.
Well, this will be the future home of Behind the DM Screen II

The Damn Forum FB Private group is in operation
HTML https://www.facebook.com/groups/1044860140282013/
With the Ending of Knight of the Skull Book One, The Total of
Finished Stories is Four.
Marilee in Falling Story One
Hierophant of Chislev Story One
Windrider Story One
Knight of the Skull Mission to Khur Story One.
The Games have been really fun, and fulfilling to write them
into story form and share them with the Dragonlance community
and for anyone else that just enjoys Fantasy stories.
Thank you, Keep an eye out for the Facebook group should it come
to fruition.

Chapter Four: The Grand Reopening
DIR By: Dungeon Master
Date: August 23, 2023, 3:52 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Writing Chapter Four was going to take forever, so I have broken
it into parts to depict the Match by match.
Poor Dias, we hardly knew you.
I picked up the AD&D Historical Guide for the Glory of Rome and
it was the best thing I could have done. give all the game info
I need, including stuff I didn't know I needed. It was a great
get.
The games are not anything close to the depictions in Showtime's
Spartacus, with various states of undress in the stands. Does it
get crazy, yeah, this is their sports games.
All the moral questions I am choosing to explore in various
ways, subtle or not. I do not endorse anything in the realm of
Slavery in any way. It is a grim reality in Ergoth, though not
on the scale it once was. Just know I don't believe any of this
that I'm writing. This is not a "good" society. Ergoth is
ruthless.
Though I admit. Sometimes I question writing this storyline.
Prepare for the brutality of the Games.
It appears that Sarus the Khur Barbarian from Wydara's school is
up next.
I did a name change on Wydara's story. I don't know that I'm
doing a Circus.

Behind the DM Screen Vol. II Just some thoughts
DIR By: Dungeon Master
Date: August 24, 2023, 2:27 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I have one more Match to write. its going to be complex. I don't
know why I do this to myself. Going to take a break from writing
the Primus for the night and write more on it tomorrow. Going to
write something else for a while.
Sorry that has occupied so much of my time, but just trying to
give the stories the care and attention. Its quite a departure
then what I've written before. In my stories and games, its not
such a hack fest. While I have showed a bit of violence in the
total stories so far, nothing has been as brutal as these arena
matches.
But has been insightful into the characters and the Gladiators.
Poor Ragor, the debut of Ackal the Northman into the games
proper was not going to settle for anything less then putting a
fine point on what to expect from him in the future. Woe to
anyone coming to try.
Also getting to introduce other Trainers that will become more
important as time goes on. I'm appreciative of you making the
effort to come to this site and read these stories.
Some of these characters have been dormant for many, many years.
The opportunity to bring them to life again has been a great
joy. I always enjoyed the relationships, the character building,
the twist and turns a story can take. I thank you the readers
for staying with me this far. Its, amazing, but I'm keeping
track of everything so far. Its incredibly helpful writing these
by chapter.
Karnea is coming back
We are going fight this battle against the Draconians
More to come on just about everything.
Take care

Behind the DM Screen Vol. II Updates
DIR By: Dungeon Master
Date: August 27, 2023, 8:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello. I am gaming with Karnea's player later this week, so new
stories will be up for them over the weekend or through next
week. Will allow Karnea and Talidaar to move forward in their
stories.
Currently writing the Primus in Wydara Blood and the Arena part
4. Its complex. Four Combatants in the fight.
I have Medical procedure on Tuesday and I have to prep on
Monday. I don't know that anything is getting done those two
days. Its nothing serious, everything should be fine, but I am
being put under.
So look for new stuff Wednesday and after the gaming sessions.
List of stuff that is coming soon-
Wildrunner
The Lioness
Return to the Dragon Isles
Rogue Knight of the Skull Story 2
Karnea Master of the Black Robe
Hierophant of Chislev in the Battle of Mt. Thelalan
Wydara Blood and the Arena Primus
I hope you all are enjoying the stories and living in the world
of Dragonlance again.
It had came to my attention the last Dragonlance books came out
Fifteen years ago. Letting these characters breathe again in the
games and on the pages of the Forum means a lot to me, thank you
for coming along on the journey. Thank you for your patience.

I just want to talk about a few things about Wydara Blood and
arena.
I realize I am using Roman terms for weapons and gladiator
styles. I wish I had the time to redesign the gladiator for
Dragonlance, and work out styles that made sense to the setting.
so just bear with me. I have been a little inconsistent so far,
but I will get the hang of things soon. Thank you.

Behind the DM Screen Vol. II Some Dragonlance Thoughts
DIR By: Dungeon Master
Date: August 30, 2023, 11:52 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello all.
Writing and posting tonight. I feel I have a new lease on the
life. I will try to Get the Primus up on this weekend. Just
going to do some smaller stories tonight.
On our old forum, the areas of operations we gamed in were
confined to the Abanasinian region and maybe a few side stories
as Karnea for a time was at her Tower on Schallsea.
As you can see, I've expanded. I am super proud of getting
Northern Ergoth off the ground. I tried before on the old Forum
as it just didn't work out.
While I love the elves, despite their superiority complex. The
Ergoth Trilogy by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya C. Cook is a
favorite trilogy of mine. The worldbuilding is immaculate and
enriched the world lore of Krynn a hundredfold. The Only parts
of history we had of the Ergoth Empire we had was in the first
Elven Nations trilogy, and the Vinas Solamnus Novel, to my
knowledge.
As for the Inath-Wakenti, Tamon Busk, and Khur regions. I love
exploring the Khur Region. So much has colored in by the Elven
Exiles trilogy, also by Paul B. Thompson and Tonya C. Cook.
Also going to give a shout out to Richard Dakan's Rise of the
Titans Sourcebook. The most complete look at Bloten and Khur and
everything Ogre.
Okay, going to get back to writing.
