Roll to Doubt – Sat, 08 March, 09:19 PM

Looking at my backlog, it strikes me: many of the posts are just bad. They have been better recently, but the backlog is mostly terrible. What it means to have a bad blogpost?

Fear in a Handful of Dust

All Dead Generations – Sat, 08 March, 10:51 AM

A Brief Barrow Fields GazetteerI was born on the Cidro. The City of Fountains, back during the war. Devil's pox and the proscriptions took most of my family.

However, it's probably best used in an environment one might conceivably encounter a dog - having one turn up in the middle of a dungeon might invite unwarranted suspicion from the party. A PC with access ... read more.
