Please enjoy Chapter 10
Uline addressed the Tangresh in Gnael. Go forth from this place and speak to the chiefs of the Blood Wolves and the Death Birds. Let them know that Mother Uline wills them to a war council. The soft ones come, they bring guns. Once again we must fight to preserve Gaikul.

Last day to sign up....
This here’s the last day to sign up for any of my games. So far, pre-registration has been, shall we say, dismal? Oh well, I’m running what might be called “niche” story games. Life goes on, but if you’re interested, I encourage you to sign up! Check out This post for more information. (via Fishing the Summer River)
Unconscious Psychic Plaigiarism, or Great Minds...
Lately I’ve been mindful of a few things happening in the space of indie rpgs. People keep unconsciously and sometimes precognitively stealing some of my best game ideas! For example: Spirit of the Century uses aspects, my Lyrica RPG started out using aspects. They’re not exactly the same, but they are similiar enough.

First Fruits
Written this morning, before work: When I think about Lammastide, or Lughnasad, or whatever you call this day, this time in the wheel o’ the year, I think about a lot of things. I think it is to Paganism what Hanukkah is to Judaism: a holiday not many people know what to do with, aside from a few obvious activities: making little bread-men or buying some fresh produce for your table. I...
