On Stagnation, Variety and Square Pegs

It was a good friend of mine who once said “Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation … even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind”. Another man said that “Variety’s the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor”. There is also the one about square pegs and round holes.

It is with these thoughts in mind that I ask you, humans, why do you stagnate so?

Why Pyres?

Some of you may be wondering why this font of knowledge I have created is called Pyres of Vam. I hope that you have figured out the “Vam” part of it. I have at least that much faith in humanity. However, I would forgive you for questioning the “Pyres” aspect. I humble and honour you now, by sharing part of my great saga with you, my loyal and subservient followers.

WHAT YOU'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO

Pyres of Vam is a website about roleplaying, stories, world building and game mastering. I'm your host, Mockingbard. I'm also host to my alter ego(maniac), Vam, who doesn't quite "get" the world, but wants to rule it anyway. He's quite obsessed with monsters, magic, humanity and modern life. Forecast is cloudy with a chance of brainstorms. Welcome to the madness.
