Pressing Requests

My daughter likes me to tell stories that mash up our world with fictional worlds. In particular, she likes Pokemon and Legend of Zelda mix-ups. I’m glad she enjoys me telling her stories, but I will admit that making up that kind of thing off the cuff is quite hard for me. It doesn’t help […]

Feeling Accomplished

It’s a minor thing, but I’ve now put together nearly 68,000 words of my Warlord story. I’ve developed a few new Formula 1 pages (including updates to driver profiles, a new section on circuits and an expanded F1 Explained section). Of course, in normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have had the time to do any of […]

The Greatest Ludus P15

Nimr had always appreciated the treatment he received at the House of Nepos, but he had never truly realised what life for a slave- even for a gladiator- was like beyond it. The dank walls and dirty surroundings of the gladiators’ housing in the House of Metellus was depressing, although several completely naked warriors (apparently […]

The Greatest Ludus P14

Petillia Crispina had clothed herself in only the finest of her garments, a blue one-piece ensemble that exposed a generous amount of leg, but stopped at the knee, and woven out of expensive cotten. It was tight, and the v-cut front only served to expose a generous degree of cleavage as well. Her blonde hair […]

The Greatest Ludus P13

Titus Norbanus Nepos was not a man to be crossed, literally or figuratively, as he marched down the streets toward his home. The sun was beating down upon him but the storm clouds gathering in his heart and the eyes of thunder would have been terrifying to anyone who looked into them. He knew the […]

The Greatest Ludus P12

The enormous, round building, held up by huge and mighty coluums, and made of strong stone, was a symbol of Rome’s wealth and glory. It housed many texts and books on a huge range of subjects- from historical accounts to biographies of Rome’s most treasured sons and daughters, and everything inbetween. The courtyard in front […]

The Greatest Ludus P11

Ekwueme rested in Nimr’s strong arms, enjoying the peace that came from satisfaction. He grinned up at him, eyes still full of mischief, and the promise of further glory. Nimr, for his part, was troubled. He could not delay the inevitable, however much it pained him. There was he had to say, yet he knew […]

The Greatest Ludus P10

It was a rare thing for a gladiator to be given such an honour, but for Nimr, such events had been earned more than once. His final, glorious victory for the House of Nepos was to be marked by passage to a venue of much decadence and enjoyment- and for Nimr, a place that held […]

The Greatest Ludus P9

“Mmmm, my husband, you are excelling today…” Etruscilla shivered from lust. She straddled Nepos’ lips, indulging in playful, teasing flicks of his tongue, right in her most sensitive regions. His hands stroked her hips and swatted her buttocks, and she would have giggled, if not for that tongue, probing and teasing away… They had returned to their […]

The Greatest Ludus P8

The Tiger and the Butcher faced each other on the sands. Sigivald was nursing a couple of wounds- his chest had been sliced into on the left side of his ribcage, and there was a small cut above his right knee. His right cheek was bruised but not too badly. The one injury that troubled […]
