Author, Podcaster, Father - P.G. Holyfield's first novel, Murder at Avedon Hill, was published by Dragon Moon Press in May of 2010. He passed away on August 20, 2014 in his home, surrounded by family and friends.
Thank you. It was well worth the wait. The music fit the feel and the shift between narrative and voices was smooth. To confirm, I am hooked.
Congratulations, my man. Welcome to club
*high five*
HELL YES
FENCE THAT BI#$H!!!!
Awesome job my friend!!!!!
I am such a mother hen, but I am soooo proud of you!!!
So, Murder at Avedon Hill finally is out as a podcast.
I heard of this for months but didn’t want to look into it before at least hearing something from it.
Now my subscription list is one feed longer.
As Avedon Hill was originally a NWN adventure, are there any plans for a gaming supplement/sourcebook?
Thanks to everyone that has commented thus far. I really appreciate it!
Selganor, the plot of MaA began as an idea for a NWN module, but the module was an idea that never reached fruition. Still, I thought it was a story worth telling, so that’s when I started adapting it into this setting.
As for gaming supplements? The Land of Caern has always been my campaign setting for D&D, so I certainly have the reference material. But that is a long term goal for now.
Thanks again for taking the time to post!
I’m so glad you’re doing this! I just downloaded ep 1 and can’t wait to hear it.
i’m a bit behind, but i’ve just listened to this first episode. i’m a reader of all shapes and sizes, and i have to say that i can’t remember a time i was so easily hooked and drawn into a story. this is also my first podcast novel. it’s really fantastic, and i look forward to listening to more. =)
