Nethergate 👻

Nethergate is a ghost story that I have been writing for... a very long time lol

It's about a young woman named Liz who returns to her home town after the sudden unexpected death of her parents. It's a town she fled from 2 years ago for very good reason, and being back is not doing anything good to her anxiety.

The ghosts aren't helping either.

As Liz prepares her childhood home for sale, she starts to experience strange occurrences in the house. She recruits a ghost hunter, Patrick, who happens to be in town investigating the local cemetery, to help her figure out if her house might be haunted.

What they discover is that Liz is not only being haunted by her past but by something malevolent, and it has some kind of strange connection to the ancient monument in the local cemetery.

I've been working on writing this as a screenplay for several years and I've written about 10 drafts of the script. But now I'm trying my hand at writing it as a novel, and plan to eventually self-publish it as an illustrated book.

Characters pictured:

Liz, the protagonist

Patrick, the ghost hunter

Kara, the witchy friend

Josh, the asshole ex

Alan, the cop trying to make amends

This fucking game! This FUCKING GAME!! I played a demo of this when I was a wee little child and have been looking for it ever since I remembered it. Do you know how fucking hard it is to find an old, potentially vaporware game from a vague childhood memory? 

All I’ve had to go on (since that demo has been long gone for 1000 years) is the art style, being able to play as a Roman soldier, and knowing you could play dice with a goblin near the bottom of the map (and if you lost all you money to it & decide to kill it to get it all back, all it drops is the dice lol).

My cousin introduced me to Geneforge & Avernum, and it drove me CRAZY because the art style was IDENTICAL, but I was 1000% certain there were no wizards or made up monsters... you were a Roman and fought well known d&d shit like goblins... but nothing ever came up and no one else had a clue.

!! NETHERGATE !!

Hey it's my Birthday today!

The Roman Bath, York

In the city of York, beneath The Roman Bath Pub, are the remains of a caldarium, or steam bath, from the Roman city of Eboracum. This city was built by the 9th Legion Hispana in 71 AD and occupied by the Romans for nearly 350 years.

During our recent trip to York, we went to visit this fascinating historical site. The bath house complex was historically a favourite place for…
