In the early 2000s, I was the chief admin of The Ancestral Trail group on Yahoo! Groups, dedicated to this beloved 90s children's fantasy magazine published by Marshall Cavendish publishing.

This is where I first met Frank Graves. I soon grew suspicious of Frank, as he began to make numerous provably false claims about The Ancestral Trail and his involvement - of being the magazine's sole author, of working on film productions of the story, and more.

Over the years, I watched as Frank Graves went on to fabricate more and more tales, including him self-publishing several typo-ridden novels based on the property. I witnessed him systematically erase the work of people who'd created The Ancestral Trail magazine and lead it to international success, and claim it as his own, even going so far as to outright steal other people's content for his own.

This series of infographics document the man's actions which have led to the downfall of this beloved children's classic. It's my sincerest hope that you find this information enlightening.

Okay, here's the big announcement.
This year and going into the next, I've been writing and developing a brand new TTRPG with . The game is SHIELD MAIDENS, a brand new Viking/Cyberpunk style game!
In this game you join the Shield Maidens, a group tasked by Freya to resist the empire of Fenrir and prevent Ragnarök from destroying the universe. They have only their training and sacred Guardian Shields to battle enemies across the nine realms!
The time of the Shield Maidens has come, but even the strife in Midgard is miniscule compared to their greater task, renewing the cycle of time and ushering a new spring in the aftermath of Ragnarök.
You can read all about Shield Maidens here - https://t.co/awsz96VVDO
