Author’s Note:
Some listeners may recognize that Artax bears a remarkable resemblance to a certain other Old Man – namely, the wizard who runs the magic shop in the Spells ‘R’ Us shared story universe, created by Bill Hart. This resemblance is, of course, completely intentional. I conceived of Artax as an homage to Bill’s original vision for the Old Man, before some subsequent writers turned him into a cruel and sadistic monster hell-bent on destroying as many lives as possible. In any case, only the greatest respect is intended to Bill and his creations; he gets all the credit for creating such a fun and engaging character, and if Artax deviates in any way from how Bill would have wanted his character portrayed, the responsibility is mine alone.

Trouble is, he’s feeling fairly uninspired — until one day, when he encounters a strange young woman who will change his life forever. Join us for part one of this two-part story!
This episode features Beq Vyper as the voice of Callie. She’s a gaming buddy of mine, and I was very glad when she agreed to play this role for me. Thanks, Becky!
