I am 64, male, disabled American Vet. Played since "80's. I have written a novel (unpublished) called "Passion for Power" concerning two veterans who find themselves listed among the dead after a battle and decide to go AWOL, find a distant land and start their own dynasty. Humerus Baylor (c), and Morgan Fremont gather a force and convince a captain to carry them to the place. From foamy seas to dry land it reads of R. Crusoe, Sws Fam Robinson, Gilligan's Island, et al. They meet Mira Brackenridge, a circus girl who has quite a shot with a bow. Also along for the ride are Conifer Odid, a gnome cleric, who encourages Humerus to become a palladin. While visiting a neighboring island they rescue a "Lycanthrope Refuge/Hospital" that is under siege from a powerful vampire. After gaining considerable wealth they send Llewelyn "Snuffy" Smit, the captain off to bring settlers. Meanwhile, Humerus and Mira marry, a temple is under construction, and there are encounters with the dragons of the island, some pirates, and the idigenous population. Mira discovers a broom of flying and on a whim, decides to become a witch. All that and a crew of pirates, a talking rabbit, named "Dock", and a "Old [and crazy] priestess" make for a good story.
