The Foot of Blue Mountain – Mon, 27 July, 11:09 PM
The people of Blip are, if anything can be said about people at the end of the world, superstitious. They cling to their beliefs, daedal and shapeless like sea foam, to the exclusion of all else. Like sea foam, these beliefs are often washed away. When the gnoll cult arrived in Blip thirteen years a... read more.

Magic can do many things and with powerful enough magic, it can even create the semblance of life. But this magically created life lacks a soul or animating spirit, while such beings may be animate, even intelligent, they are not true beings,with their own will and desires. Thus the common name for ... read more.

Blog of Forlorn Encystment – Mon, 27 July, 02:30 PM
While I have discussed the AD&D DMG in great length on this blog, my interest has largely been in interpreting the general feel of the game: I mostly unpack the implications of specific rules, worldbuilding conceits, and explicit playstyle intentions. I sometimes get into the weeds on something spec... read more.

CW: this post entails an excruciatingly-detailed breakdown of the SCP wiki’s systematic and years-long mishandling of a high-profile sex abuse case. It entails harms perpetrated against real people, many of them children, and there is neither closure nor justice at the end. I cannot stress enough th... read more.

From the Sorcerer's Skull – Mon, 27 July, 11:00 AM
I've suggested (way back in 2012) slapping some antenna on elves and giving them some organic-looking armor--in other words, reskinning them as the 80s Sectaurs action figures. I think the relationship between the faerie and insects makes elves ripe for this twist. I liked the idea so much, I made t... read more.
