Finding Assets In Liabilities
Here in the states its Thanksgiving week, a time that we are to reflect and be thankful for what we have. The reality of 2020 is that a lot of people, too damn many people, have a lot less to be thankful for this year than last. For some, this is just a continuation of […]

When it comes to fiction and magic I avoid it like the plague. Fiction does not equal myth front. I have even gone so far as to ban discussion of fiction based magic in my groups. Lovecraftian stuff is actually one of the FEW exceptions to this rule. Not because its great fiction, but because […]

Style, Substance, and Sorcery
