Since my formative years I have been an avid reader with a balance of exploration into what I was reading and eventually, writing. Studying English in the country of its origin was a necessary part of my own Campbellian quest, along with knowing the language from non-native speaker perspectives from around the world.
In my global pursuits of tracing oral traditions into literary form I mastered a ring of kingdom keys. There is no longer a demographic of age, language, nationality, or cultural background that I have not or cannot successfully instruct.

Short story published in two parts by a monthly science fiction magazine and in a science fiction anthology. It contains dry if not cheeky Victorian humor, odd if not interesting characters, and a successful use of recursive narrative to mirror the story's time loop.
Rules evolved along with the set itself in regard to what I wanted as an entertainment system, meant for global travel. Two boxes provide a totally unique experience into a WWII themed game. Units resemble clips from the History Channel. An intuitive and comprehensive system based on Harris rules, a reiteration of tech. developments, 3D map for task force boards, military fonts and terms to hasten finding information and faintly emulate code breaking.
Use of Markdown and CSS to conform to RPG style/branding. Much of this is a conversion of arms and combat rules of my paleo-rpg, "Origins."
The campaign's content began in the late 1900's, set in the last interglacial. Archons & Avatars is made to resemble early D&D rulebooks, corrects misguided concepts, misinterpreted oral traditions, and utilizes real geography to suit relevant mythology. This campaign is a conversion from my own paleo-rpg/board game w/area control/migrations, "Origins" is part of my doctoral dissertation and draws upon lab, library, and field research into paleoanthropology and fringe archaeology.
