Curse of the Intermittent Internet

Internet is a vast and mighty being. Yet, I cannot always be one with it. In the wretched hovel of the Bard Who Mocks, the psychic link to the hive mind of Internet is… faulty to say the least. When I am in its glorious presence, I will endeavour to post. If lengthy delays between posts occur in future, it is likely I have somehow fallen again from Internet’s graces and have been stranded in an Offline Hell.

Things That Go Blog in the Night

WHAT YOU'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO

Pyres of Vam is run by Mockingbard and his alter-ego(maniac) Vam. It focuses on tabletop roleplaying but you'll find other things here too.

Mockingbard loves roleplaying, worldbuilding and stories. He posts setting ideas, session recaps, gamemastery tips and the like for fun, for himself and to get his creativity on.

Vam posts from the villain's point of view: debunking monster myths, providing adventure ideas for villains, and helping fellow villains and dastardly GMs deck out their lairs and complicate the lives of filthy adventurers.

We write this stuff because we like it :) Hopefully you'll find something you like here too.
