Longwinded One: The Podcast Longwinded One

Arwyn has just bought Fantasia, the first fantasy-based VRMMORPG, with 99% realism that you can play while you sleep. In the game, she becomes Fey, a moon elf starting in the magical Elvenwood. Join her (and her snarky narrator who likes to interject sarcastic comments in parentheses) on her exciting, often hilarious adventures inside this magical world full of every fantasy creature you've ever encountered in books, games, and movies, and a few that you haven't.

In a world corrupted by treachery and ambition, Thorian Steelblade was a fearsome leader, on the brink of conquering the capital and etching his family's name into history. But betrayal came from within, leaving him broken and defeated. In his final moment, Thorian unleashed a devastating self-destruction spell to ensure his enemies shared his fate.



However, Thorian awakens to find himself alive, but far from victorious. Transformed into a weak, white-furred creature called a White Kobold, he is lost and alone in an unfamiliar land. Stripped of his power and his kingdom, Thorian must navigate through a world where humans and monsters vie for supremacy. Can the fallen lion rise up from the dredges of being reincarnated as a mere dog, grasping back his former glory? Or will he fall to the depths of despair and the treacherous darkness of this world?

Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage made up a video game to train some people on the planet Earth for the catastrophe he knew was coming.



That game was the Power of Ten.



The gods seized this opportunity to take the templates of some of those characters, and even their souls, for use in other worlds, and other realms.



Sama Rantha is one of those characters, and is going to find out that being a Hagchild and having to survive after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your Race at level One on a gamescreen.



Join Sama Rantha on her Road to Ten, and letting her Hagmother know exactly what she thinks of her...

Book References:

The Book of Twelve Swords by Fred Saberhagen is available on Amazon, as are the original Riftwar books by Feist.

The original Tom Swift books, and Rip Foster's Ride the Gray Planet, are something you'll have to scrounge up on Ebay or something, they are long out of print. Again, I read them in grade school, so very friendly to younger readers.

Honorable mentions: The entire line of Conan Books, Tarzan Books, and original Sherlock Holmes books were favorites growing up, along with John Carter, Warlord of Mars. Conan is basically the model for all original D&D adventurers and warriors!

Jules Vernes' various stories are excellent starting points to get kids interested in outlandish science fiction.

Naturally I also read all the original Star Trek and Star Wars novels, and stayed up VERY late to catch late night episodes of Star Trek, which only came on at midnight.

Among more recent series, the Warhammer 40k line of Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abner is one of the consistently good lines of stories coming out of them. Necropolis of that line is a great sci-fi/fantasy military novel I've read at least a half-dozen times.
