  • Ryan Elliot

    Today we are going to start showing off the four characters we are going to start off with. Our histories are pretty vague intentionally. But AJ has a general idea of what we are and where we are going and this is the first of four characters, and 1 creature we’ll see this week. Ryan…

  • Origin Mechanic

    Today, I thought I’d introduce one of our Cypher System Mechanics written for Echoes. This allows the player to customize their character with some abilities they might have from their origin. i.e.: They are a vampire, or maybe they are an elf. Or maybe they’ve lived a long time and learned a lot. It’s not…

  • A Few Decisions

    Yesterday and last night (and early this morning) AJ made a decision or a few anyway. 2. The premise of the world is there are infinite number of planes, dimensions layered on top of the world as you know it to be in the here and now. And these dimensions can cause echoes of their…

  • If I were real!!

    Okay, so I lied. We aren’t going to be posting a new story starting Monday! AJ changed her mind — again. So typical. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to start a new story. We are! AJ has been all “let’s publish”. And editing and working, and writing, and stuff, yeah it’s been scattered…

  • New Story

    AJ had glorious plans to rewrite my story. There is a problem in all that and that we’ve told it and it feels confining right now, like we are doing something wrong. So AJ kinda wants to take a step back and not make any changes to my story thus far. A reasonable effort, but…

  • 3rd v 1st

    Anyone who’s stuck around to read some of my actual story knows AJ likes to write in first person point of view. But in this rewrite AJ started off in 3rd and figured why not, let’s try it for a little while. We got 3 scenes done before AJ slipped into 1st again. We wrapped…

  • New Year, New Me?

    No this isn’t one of those posts. Well not exactly. AJ has plotted out the whole series. We don’t have the minutiae of each book in detail, but we have the overall scope of all the books. The Series is called The Ascendant, it is part of the Soul Touched collection. There will be seven…

  • So Round Three Thousand Four Hundred…

    That is probably an exaggeration but it might not be too. AJ’s decided to rewrite my whole story again!!!! The long and short of it is, AJ’s love said I’d rather play your character creation types than the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons. And AJ’s been toying with the idea and working on it.…

  • Apologies

    We apologize for dropping the ball on the story we were telling. AJ got wrapped up in Write a Book in 60 days with Dabble, and prepping for NaNoWriMo. And we got sucked into a ton of World Building to prep for the big month. AJ’s debating on if we want to share the story,…

  • Angel

    al’Zand curled up tighter into his bedroll clutching his head. The pain had subsided, but the conversation behind him ate at his conscious. He had messed up something. Something was wrong. Ghosts and darkness ebbed and flowed at his perpherials. 

  • Research

    It wasn’t hard to find the guild house. It wasn’t too far from the Sacred Horses. After insuring that his follower had been evaded Hadril made his way into the confines of the guild house of the Macabre Genesis. The building was a three story discreetly set building along the main drag of the Dock…

  • Missing Compatriots

    Miranda came stomping in and ae’Nyx didn’t answer his question. Though Miranda was grumpy and she felt different. A bit darker then when she came. Alushtas just shrugs.

  • New Power

    Miranda’s thoughts ranged from how she could extract revenge on al’Zand, how to find Rosana again, or should she even, why did she care to how she could free her self from her patron?

  • The Missing Vial

    Where is it? Where the fuck is it? I searched everything. Zand was hurting, but the pain would fade, but the despair returned stronger than the prior day and he was fighting it. That was the worst thing to do when the madness came.

  • The Cursed Morning

    Rain woke me up kicking my feet and I groaned with pain. “Ow. My fucking head.” I curled up in my bedroll again

  • Missing Compatriots

    The boys slept and Alushtas fell into a soft slumber himself. The women never returned. No footsteps padded across the floor in the middle of the night. The world woke with a new dawn and Alushtas was awake with the crowing of the far off rooster. 

  • Renewed Vigor

    Miranda followed Rosana until she slipped down the dark alleyway. The darkness obscured her vision, but the woman just vanished from sight. 

  • Changeling

    Down the stairs and out into the night, Rosana ran. It wasn’t exactly fleeing, but she had what she needed and the boy didn’t matter.

  • Nightmares

    Sleep didn’t immediately take me. It never did. I had learned long ago to fake sleep so my mother wouldn’t hurt me, or make things worse. I felt the eyes on me. All those eyes watching me, and only one set seemed at all to care. And only one I cared about.

  • Pissed Off and Following

    When noone fell for her dramatics Miranda was more upset than she had pretended to be. Never once had her attempts to manipulate a man failed so spectacularly as they had just then. al’Zand had only eyes for the boy — they all did and it irked her beyond recognition.
