  • The Book – Part 2

    The music was too loud. I fucking hated coming to this vampire den of depravity. It wasn’t the depravity that irked me it was all the willing innocents he exposed their veins to the blood suckers. Why the fuck you’d want to do that was beyond me. They all deserved a quick blow to the…

  • The Book – Part 1

    The music was loud on the dimly lit dance floor of the nightclub I had been dragged to by my current roommate. I’d been in town for nearly an hour when I was shown to the shared occupancy room in the dormitory of the Dangdhburg Headquarters. My reputation preceded me and most of the higher…

  • About My World

    AJ saw a post on Facebook requestion people to ask about their world. We thought it was a great idea. So we’ve asked on Facebook and Twitter and will on Instagram and now I’m doing it here. Ask us anything and we’ll answer. And if we don’t know, we’ll make something up and you’ll have…

  • Interruptus Ideas

    So I mentioned monster hunter genre. I mentioned we might be posting. AJ’s let me derail our full on fantasy game for a modern more adaptable Nox and Alex to how we think and feel. We aren’t our selves in exactness and we follow some basic cypher rules instead of full on out this is…

  • The Vanguard Institute — Part 23

    I sat and watched as the lady had instructed but I was distracted by my thoughts. I missed Nyx. I glanced at the map but his dot was steady for the night and no new notes exchanged meant he was asleep.

  • Water — Life and Death

    AJ made a submission to Auto Crit’s Short Story Challenge last month. This is a bit not about me! But it’s actually a game play and we’ll share that too. The human body contains sixty percent water — on average. In our modern day, end of the world scenario, water is more of a treasure…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 22

    The wind is cold as we approach the town as the sun sets. There is little action going on. The village looks deserted, or at least tucked in for the night. Nary a light in a window, but small fires burn in hearths as smoke drifts up in the darkness.

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 21

    Morning drew the sun above the horizon and sleep was had. Bellies were full and we were off onto our next leg of travel.

  • Monster Hunting

    So I have a new idea. I want to hunt monsters again. We are thinking a cross between Shadowhunters and Supernatural. Where magic is real but hidden still, and there is a type of monster that ‘infects’ humans and that’ what people hunt. (shadowhunters demons) But there is a secret society which does hunt these…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 20

    The room was a hole in the wall, about the size of the door itself, barely any walking room, but it had a bed and a basin to wash up in. Not that I really needed that, between my magic and Seralina, water was pretty common place for us. A heated bath was easy when…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 19

    We stopped for the night in the middle of an open plain. It looked like it might have had other camps, the grass was flattened, and the pile of embers hadn’t been overgrown. Maybe it was Nyx’s camping spot.

  • Independent TTRPG Month

    So there is a trend starting, hopefully, with July being Independent TTRPG Month. You can watch the YouTube video linked in order to hear what I’m talking about. In addition to Tagging my posts in July with NaNoWriMo I’ll tag with Independent TTRPG Month as well. Maybe we can start a trend here on WordPress…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 18

    The might was fitful, the dreams were the same. I was a sacrifice to Ardere, the Great Phoenix. The same Phoenix that I’d been in the vision in the fire. The glowing lines on my body were cut into my skin, healed by the power of the phoenix and what gave me my power. That…

  • Happy Birthday to Me!

    So in my original world I was born in 1992. That makes me 31 today! Fuck I’m getting old. But I wanted to say, we haven’t stopped writing. AJ was off last week and got on a Mass Effect kick and played the whole Trilogy in a week. So we are feeling the effects of…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 17

    The messages from Nyx were nice. I still needed to follow him, to go after him. But I might worry less, I knew where he was. I could talk to him, which was absolutely amazing. Whatever spell he did, he should do on a journal and then we can always have each other nearby. Not…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 16

    The plains were empty for as far as the eye could see. Stopping might as well be anytime. I found a flat spot and cleared the grass from the area so not to start a fire. Though that was always a possiblity with me around.

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 15

    I slept in fits. The ground was uncomfortable I was cold and my mind wouldn’t shut off. I thought about going after Nyx, but figured he was already asleep and he wouldn’t wander far. He never did.

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 14

    “I hate you!” Sasha yelled. My eyes popped open and I found myself still sitting in a hollowed out tree where I’d taken shelter to come down from my embarrassment. The sun was still down, the glow of the forest was ominous and I felt lost and alone, even though I knew the camp wasn’t…

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 13

    Nyx didn’t stomp away. He didn’t so much as make a sound. While these weren’t the woods we grew up in exactly, they were woods none the same. Rhesus glared after him and Seralina pouted in her urn. “He’ll be okay.” I reassured her. Though she hadn’t seemed overly concerned with him before that moment.

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 12

    I was riding the high of getting the water sprite. But she was whining as I got away from the goblin barricade. “Let me out!” the water sprite squawked weakly from her iron cage. “Let’s just get away from here, find a clearing or just away. I promise I’ll let you out.”

  • The Vanguard Institute – Part 11

    Nyx was down. I felt it in the air but no one else seemed to notice as we followed Austin towards the goblin barricade. We had a water sprite to save — and save ourselves. But I worried about Nyx.
