I'm both puzzled and intrigued by what a "Sin Zone" is what might be happening within one.

If it's not too egotistical of me, I'd like to add to Khanwulf's discussion some of the ideas that went into my design of weresquids a few years ago (and which have been on my mind again as my eyes turn to the Storyteller's Vault and some of the possibilities it offers).

Morphologically, I based the Kun-shulor on the Humboldt squid specifically because, from my amateur teuthologist's understanding, their behaviors draw interesting parallels with wolves: Both are quick, cunning predators that hunt in groups. This allows for the possibility that the weresquids are, essentially, sea-wolves,...

Does anyone know of any good page layout/design software that's compatible with a Chromebook? I have at least one thing I'd like to take a shot at publishing, but don't own a Windows or Mac computer.

That sounds like a wonderful idea. Go right ahead....

I hope everyone had a happy new year. I spent the first day of January 2019 in a hung over haze, but the second day was quite pleasant. While cleaning out the attic in observance of purification rituals of old, I came across a strange, dusty tome, filled with all manner of strange practices and mystical pacts with the natural world. I thought it prudent to share some of the most interesting of these pagan charms here, in the spirit of giving and celebration of the slow death of a long December.

The first few pages concern themselves with what appear to be the glorious powers of supernatural...

The Briarman

Hungry Icon Thief

Once upon a time, a Fae Lord bound a Huntsman to the task of recovering a wayward changeling who had escaped the clutches of Arcadia. Many seasons had passed between then and then, and the Huntsman's quarry was no quivering sparrow, but a proud monarch in his own right back in the world of iron, resplendent in his Mantle, body and heart equally guarded by Hedgespun artistry and hard-won friends. And so the Huntsman, whose panoply consisted not of sword and bow but rather more occult implements, devised a plan of attack, for which it would...
