HBO’s ‘Chernobyl;’ Initial Impressions.

June 12, 2019.Reading time 18 minutes.

Stories of radioactive glory and horror permeated my childhood the way stories of Christ permeated those of my peers. My father was an engineer on a nuclear submarine, and sometimes he would talk about it. Of course all that sounded like fantasy to me, quasi-mythic but most definitely true stories about the Sea of Okhotsk, […]

Mo is playing in a game of Vampire: the Masquerade Fifth edition called “Burn It Down,” hosted on SimulcraTV on Twitch. It centers on the struggles of the Anarchs in bleeding edge Atlanta, Georgia. One of the major NPCs is Hancock, the Nosferatu Sheriff, the Prince’s personal enforcer and an all around motherfucker. He is […]

Excerpt from W.I.P. Orchid Mantis 3.

May 28, 2019.Reading time 45 minutes.

With the business of the werewolves (somewhat) put behind him, Gavin puts his focus on newer, more important goals… only to get sucked into yet more Supernatural Nonsense when his new job brings him face to face with inner-city intrigue and mysterious vampires. Why does Cho-rong care if Finley, by all accounts a feral nobody […]

Enio Theoi-Adelphe

April 10, 2019.Reading time 21 minutes.

This is scenario development for an ancient Greek/Roman inspired low/historical fantasy story about godhood, dehumanization, and violence. The main character (for now) is Enio Dexanihilites, the only daughter of a countryside warlord who serves as a client for a more advanced city-state. The driving force behind the conflicts is her marriage to a powerful man […]

[18+] Stalker From The Outside

March 18, 2019.Reading time 65 minutes.

CW: body horror, violence, discussion of sexual violence, and egregious misuse/disregard of Lovecraftian canon. To be unseen and see that which is unseen is the Whateley family’s blessing and burden, so Plumeria was quite certain that the slinking presence she sensed outside the camp had not been there for very long. She got a feel […]

RE2 Monsters Rated On Hotness (By Someone Who Has Never Played The Game)

March 1, 2019.Reading time 24 minutes.

UNMARKED SPOILERS, body horror, gore, and the dark unsanctified depths of my garbage soul below. None of the images used were captured or created by me in any capacity. Click for full-view. I believe in honesty on the front end, as evidenced by the title. I come at this from a purely design-based point of […]

[art] Valor Academy’s Ethan

February 22, 2019.Reading time 1 minute.

So I’m definitely biased, because Mo created Ethan Velez, a supporting NPC for SurpriseRoundRpg’s Masks game. My neurotic boy. Being a superhero isn’t all it’s cracked up to be… especially not when you’re such a weirdo nobody takes you seriously. I also have this very cute, simple Ethan I did back, in contrast to cool […]

Thinking Back On ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth.’

February 13, 2019.Reading time 19 minutes.

I brought up at Mo’s birthday celebration that in ‘the Shadow Over Innsmouth,’ the government illegally destroys half the town and places many residents in concentration camps. This is what passes for suitable birthday conversation in our circle, though to be fair, Mo was talking to her sister. It was Julian, our mutual friend Pat, […]

[+18] Light The Sea

February 11, 2019.Reading time 38 minutes.

Nobody brought their boats out to Land’s End, not anymore. A long, long time ago, Dot’s family had built a lighthouse on one of the islands there, and a temple to the gods of invention and progress. Nowadays, the lighthouse was derelict, the glass all shattered out and the brazier long cold. The sea had […]
