Founded on 12 September 2009 CE, Small Golden Sceptre is the creation of one Douglas G. Henke. This site has no charter, no mission and no purpose save perhaps being a loosely-organized collection of things the contributors find momentarily interesting.
The expectation is that these things will be, in no particular order: Dragons, gadgets and compugeekery, renaissance fairs, the life of the citizen-engineer, games (of the tabletop, pen-and-paper RPG and/or video varieties), FOSS, and matters literary, both in general and specifically within the genre-ghetto of fantasy literature. Only time will tell if this expectation is realistic.
We welcome your comments and criticism regarding any aspect of what you find here. You have the right — and indeed the responsibility — to demand high standards of literacy, legibility and accuracy, on the web as in any other written medium. If you find errors in fact, form or presentation — or if you merely wish to offer another point of view — please reply by comment, or send email to the site admin.
Those curious — in a more specific way — about this site might be well-served by one of the following:
I find the Sending spell to be a bit limiting and have for some time considered the application of swine toward expansion of my already-considerable communication capabilities. From my Scrying I gather Shalakar, with whom I have not spoken in some time, has already gone down this path and might have insights worth hearing. Of course, he might very well try to eat me should the mood strike him, but I’ve never worried about things like that, for Evevan Ilesere guides my hand, and only he knows what would come of such an attempt.
