Snake Dream

In this dream, apparently I was being attacked by a snake of a species I had never seen before. Its dorsal surface was black, very glossy; but its ventral surface and the lower half of its head were a very bright, almost golden yellow.

This snake insisted on attacking me; it had one hell of a grudge, and its bite was extremely venomous. Nonetheless, as it attacked me and launched a strike aimed at biting my face, I intercepted and caught it and held it gently behind its head.

I held it firmly and forced it into a basket, where it lay coiled for some time. Every now and then, I would feed the snake a mouse to make sure it didn't starve; and I'd hold the basket close to me, so my body warmth would ensure it never got too cold.

In the end, after a period of this sort of treatment, I took out the snake, again holding him behind his head very gently, and allowed him to slide up my arm and around the back of my neck, where my body warmth would make him feel comfortable.

Thus it was that I had, by turning hostility into trust and cooperation, mastered this snake and put paid to his grudge.

The Blood Path Is Now Live On DriveThruRPG!

I've been posting Legend - related posts here since this blog began. And of course, The Blood Path was inspired by a dream I had.

So it gives me great pleasure here to announce that The Blood Path, my adventure for the fantasy tabletop roleplaying game Legend, finally went live on DriveThruRPG today.

There is an important announcement that I will shortly be making about The Blood Path, the adventure scenario I have written for Mongoose Legend. Keep an eye out for the announcement, which I will make here in a few days.

A Musical Interlude

Following on from the recent tribulations to hit access to the sound files on Hypnotic Erotic, I thought I'd post a few of the Incompetech tracks that I enjoy, whose moods more suit the themes of this blog.

Of course, since some of them also match the themes and moods of this blog, this post has been cross posted from To Scape The Serpent's Tongue.

Please try and see if the links work. If they fail to download, let me know in the comments. Kevin McLeod is a gifted composer and musician, and basically he ought to be writing movie and TV show scores. His compositions match a lot of the moods I try and evoke in my blogs, and it's always enjoyable listening to them.
