An Experiment
I think I’m going to try something new on this blog. I’m going to serialize a novel.
I admit this isn’t the newest idea, but I’m going to make it a little interesting. I have some multi-sided dice and I’m going to create the character randomly by making a list of different races, possible professions, and type of adventures for my guy (or gal) to get into. Then I’m going to roll one of the die and see what I get.
I’m going to write whatever I end up with here on this blog. No matter how stupid, funny, or weird it gets, I’m going to stick to those rules. It may end up boring for everyone else but it’ll be fun and creative for me.
I’ll try and keep the schedule weekly (I don’t want to risk daily as life is never kind about these kinds of things). If anyone has some ideas for adventures or possible twists, they can put them in the comment section and they may make said list (then the gods of chance will decide what happens)
There are some hard and fast rules I’m going to abide by:
- Nothing super sexual-I’m not into harems or big sexy books. This is going to stay PG-13 and not teen comedy PG-13 either.
- Nothing with fantasy racism (i.e. all dwarves act this way because they’re dwarves and also no putting in a bunch of progressive characters because take that white men and for no other reason!)
- Just let’s stay away from sexuality (I get the internet is an incredibly strange place where people can decide to be whatever they want but let’s just keep that on tumblr).
- No bashing religion or just making it where God steps in and fixes everything (the first is annoying, the second is boring.).
Basically this is going to be old-fashioned pulp adventure. A pretty guy/gal goes on a quest (they are either rogue, hero, or bad guy but fighting a worse thing), find attractive guy or gal, have romance, adventure, and a few laughs along the way.
Stay tuned and we’ll see how this turns out.
Oh P.S. I’m going to call this Dice Book 1. Needless to say it’s a placeholder title until I get a better one.
