Recently the Chic
Santorian was asking me in the comments section about the novelization of
actual play reports. Like, why not turn their adventures into fun works of
fantasy fiction?
Short answer: It's hard
to write compelling fiction and I don't like working hard on that aspect of the
hobby.
Longer answer: no matter
how hard I try, there's no way I could write a fictive tale of value in the
same neighborhood as some of the greats of the OSR. You can put lipstick
on a pig, as they say, but you'll still end up in the mud after the barn door
closes on your eggs.
Allow me to instead
recommend this
post on Dragons Gonna Drag, a novelization of the continuing
misadventures of his table of blundering PC slobs. Very funny!
