Summary
A character study for one of my D&D characters in a modified Curse if Strahd campaign.
Judge, the hulking mass of animated steel plate, was in life known as Ser Hanfred Vel; a champion of the light and a paladin of glory. However, his light was marred by the lengths he went to save his beloved from a magical affliction; his choices doomed not only innocents, but set some of his own children down the same paths of darkness.
Barovia now serves as Judge's crucible; his final chance to prove himself worthy of the forgiveness of his goddess and all those who perished in his quest to save his love. But will he find the redemption he seeks, or will he falter after everything?
A chance encounter wirh a ghost of his past may hold the answer...

Summary
13 years have passed since the city of Rockpine was saved from a undead invasion brought about by a vengeful lich, and the flames of war have died down. The citizens of the advanced world worry not about battle and planet-scale strife, and instead concern themselves once again with MegaCorporations and street criminals. Life in the world, chaotic and dangerous as it was, was again normal.
But what of life beyond the grasps of the Earth?
Eden Othrenil, a dark elf woman 19 years of age, has been selected to participate in a project of a grand scope aboard Space Station Gamma Omega. As a prodigy in the field of computer science, she has been given the opportunity of a lifetime to work on the most high-powered computer yet conceived by the sentient people of Earth.
Revenge boils in the hearts of those wronged in the Great Red War, however, and even those beyond the reach of the stratosphere are not safe.
(A sequel to the UESP forum roleplay, Silicon & Sorcery, by Knight Captain Kerr.)

Fire Emblem: Call of the Abyss by Unionhack (Dyscomancer) for Monty Oum
Fandoms: Fire Emblem Series

Summary
An original story based in the Fire Emblem universe. A continuation of a UESP Forum RP of the same name.
Upon the continent of Castradea, there were five nations that lived in a relatively fragile state of peace, the only thing keeping each nation from attacking the others was the fear of reprisal from an ally.
However, disaster struck when the capital of Esteos, Estralis city, sank into the sea by unknown means. Taking much of the countryside with it, the loss of the capital caused a collapse in the infrastructure of the continent's most powerful nation, throwing it into complete chaos almost overnight.
With the King and Queen of the realm dead and no form of government to claim sovereignty over the broken nation, the other four nations of Albium, Arcymis, Ormica, and Indartis, all stepped in to lay claim over the land for reasons each their own.
In the midst of the chaos, Prince Isaac of Esteos, only child of the recently deceased King Steiner IV, heard tales of his crumbling homeland while visiting family in Albium. Vowing to reclaim what was once his, Isaac gathers his close vassals and officers lent to him by his uncle to restore his home.
