Welcome! Check out my fanfiction as bluebeholder on AO3. My username is wanderingnork on Tumblr.
I'm a writer. I post a lot of my fanfic to AO3 (link above), but I write plenty of original fiction as well. I like dinosaurs and always have. When I go for walks, I sometimes just lie down on the path to study ants or lichen or whatever else grabs my fancy. I watch horror movies often; my favorite is The Ritual (2017) followed closely by The Void (2016). Played tabletop roleplaying games for virtually my entire life. Thanks in part to Baldur's Gate 3, utterly fucking obsessed with the githyanki from D&D.
Looking forward to having fun on Neocities. :D
The original reason this site was created. The githyanki made their first major appearance in the 1981 Fiend Folio for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, both as a creature in the Folio and the star of the cover art. They previously featured briefly in an article for White Dwarf magazine #12. Their name and some of their base characteristics originally appeared in a novel by George R.R. Martin, of Game of Thrones fame, and creator Charles Stross introduced them to D&D. Since then, the githyanki have been an iconic part of D&D lore. They're actually part of the corporate identity of Wizards of the Coast and require an expensive license to use (like some other monsters). Kind of hilarious considering their origin, right?
The point of this page isn't to reproduce statistics or use the gith for profit. At the following link, there's a list of every major appearance the gith have made since their inception in White Dwarf magazine #12. A brief description of what you'll find if you pick up the source, a little commentary, and that's it. For curious fans, GMs who need fun enemies, and anyone with a lot of time to kill, please enjoy.
Follow the dragon to proceed.
Every word in the gith language (Tir) that I've been able to track down in the sources listed above. The banner is the way it is because the githyanki write in clockwise circles. The githzerai write in counterclockwise circles, but English doesn't read terribly well in reverse. Clockwise it had to be.
Open the book to proceed.
I also make horror movie recommendations sometimes. Usually in themed sets of five: for instance, horror movies that are particularly beautiful, contain stop-motion animation, or focus on journalists as protagonists. The first batch is up; check back for more soon.
