The Musing Mage - Writer. Gamer. Witch. Dungeon Master.

Cailean is a tribal hunter whose primary weapons are his bow and a spear (if he has to). Kai, on the other hand, is trained in swordsmanship and combat magics with a specialization in pyromancy.

Cailean is generally a pacifist, Kai is very much not.

I also made some beautiful little bits badges that came out even better than I hoped. I'm considering making a whole line of D20 style badges in the full and unrestrained rainbow and possibly even expand into fantasy and nature themes.

Yesterday, in honour of Balor, my Hero of Ferelden's mabari, I made a new emote. This little cutie made his first appearance on stream this morning and he's been a VERY good boy.

Since we're not starting #DragonAge2 until tomorrow, tonight we're going to chill with some Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown as the first in our series of supporting indie studios.

Come join us on #Twitch if you like medieval RTS games!

A new loot goblin emote for #Twitch since I have many loot goblins in my channel. Including myself, of course. If you're not a loot goblin, are you really playing an RPG?

TheMusingMage - Twitch Dark Tales of Dragon Age - Braving the Blackmarsh

Our adventures through Thedas are closing in on the end of this first chapter. After working our way through most of the DLC, we're now coming up on the last legs of Awakening. But first, we head to the Blackmarsh to investigate dark rumours...

Going live soon with more #DragonAge! Now that we've solved the problems of the Wending Wood and found ourselves an elf with a penchant for violence, we'll head to Kal Hirol to recruit a strange little dwarf in way over her head.

Come join us on #Twitch!

A new day, a new dawn, and it's DLC day on #Twitch. I've played #DragonAge Origins many times, and often go straight to Awakening. But I never touch any of the extra DLC that the game has to offer. Let's change that and let's see what problems we can cook up today!

We're finally making the last push towards killing the Archdemon, but first we're making a stop-off in Cadash Thaig to help Shale track down a little of her own forgotten lore.

Come join us on #Twitch for some #DragonAge!

My new #Twitch emotes are out! Look at how cute Mindy is!

TheMusingMage - Twitch Dark Tales of Dragon Age - The Road to Haven - Gameplay and Lore

We're live right now on #Twitch with #DragonAge. Today, we're trekking through the Temple of Sacred Ashes and knocking off some sidequests along the way as we make our way slowly but surely towards Denerim!

We're going live on #Twitch with some more #DragonAge ! Inventory management and health potions are our keywords today. Come join us, chaos gremlins, as we venture into the dark.

Twitch Twitch is the world

Going live on #Twitch in about 10 minutes! We're playing some more #DragonAge today, so if you want to pop in for some fun, some despair, and some lore talk, then come join us! I promise we don't bite. I can't promise the same about the darkspawn, though.

Made a new webcam frame for Twitch today. Quite proud of how my sketches translated to Illustrator.

And yes, that IS Mindy's hat.

We're going live on #Twitch with lore readings from the World of Thedas. Come join us if you'd like to hear some #DragonAge lore or some stories about our #D&D adventures from a three year-long campaign.

www.twitch.tv/themusingmage

And, depending on community engagement, we may switch into game mode so we can get a look at darkspawn up close.

Don't worry, I made potions for this. We'll probably only die three times instead of six!

Twitch Twitch is the world

Barring catastrophic train failure on the way home from campus, we'll be going live on #Twitch in 9.5 hours at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST/2 AM GMT, or 1 PM ACT if you're one of those weirdos who thinks living with half the world's spiders is fun.

We'll be chilling and reading #DragonAge lore. Come hang out!

I thought to myself "how could I make a spinning hourglass better?" By making it glow, of course! Here's the second #Twitch emote I animated during the winter holidays. I've got both a static and animated version with both more and less beautiful glow.

#digitalart #animation #illustration #art

Cooked this little beauty up during the winter holidays in Illustrator and AfterEffects. Thought it might make for a nice #Twitch emote. I'm rather pleased with how it turned out, both the static and animated ones. Only a couple dozen more emotes to go!

#digitalart #graphicdesign #illustration #art

Had a good stream tonight, despite Dragon Age deciding to be very retro and crash repeatedly on my beautiful beefy PC. Going to be live at 11 AM EST (Jan 13th) with Sims 4 if anyone wants to drop in and say hi.

Have a wonderful and magical day.

Here's my chat's favourite meme from yesterday's Dragon Age: Origins stream.

#gaming #DragonAge #Twitch

Well, it's been a while since I last posted anything on social media. Took some time for myself to finish out my school semester, had a quiet winter break, did some animating, did some gaming. Met my teachers for this semester, and launched my streaming on Twitch.

I feel accomplished! Have a witch!

Hah, I've barely described Cassius over the course of a couple of posts, and it feels like he's already becoming one of your favourites.

Well, that depends on how bulletproof their reputation is after 5 years as Korea's darlings. It took them actually breaking up for their fans to abandon them, and even then...they won the crowd back over the course of one song. And that's despite Rumi showing off her demon markings.

Well done, Kiwi!!! ❤️

So, funnily enough, this is actually where Cailean's story comes from. Originally, I'd planned to start the series with Ciara and Adrian, but then I decided that I needed to write Cailean's story as well. That part of the lore is now the setting for the first three books.

#NovemberWorldbuilders

Gaius - Hates fancy parties, only suffers them for his wife's amusement

Marius - Flamboyant, fabulous, and always the center of attention, also flirting with ALL the women

Adrian - Smooth, charming, he's there for the dancing

Ciara - She's not interested unless she's been ordered to kill someone

Cassius - In his element, public functions are his arena, information gathering and political maneuvering

Katia - Calm, quiet, graceful, the perfect picture of a noblewoman

Derwen - Doesn't like parties, but probably got blackmailed into being a chaperone because no one else is responsible enough

Serenn - Sitting in the shadows mysteriously with Kaydern

Iedan - Glowering and stalking out to the gardens

Tristyn - Awkward, earnest, but his family name means the pressure is on and eyes are on him

Gallus - Calm, collected, waiting for someone to do something stupid so he can do his job
