A mysterious disease is sweeping across the continent, perpetrated by the nefarious Church of Azagog, nihilistic cultists of the selfsame eldritch deity of death. Who can stand in their way?

Five unlikely heroes form a ragtag band to put a stop to the dark church and their doomsday plot!

From right to left, we have:

Moriyama Megumi, the half-kitsune witch. Known as the Storm Witch, her lightning bolts electrocute her enemies.

Mao Mei, the panda beastkin cleric. A righteous priestess of Sessana, the goddess of life, she uses her divine power to invigorate her allies and her womanly charm to tease Megumi.

Andrinor Toloni, the human celestial bloodline bloodrager. Known as the Golden Reaper, his holy scythe cuts down evildoers and those who would hurt the ones he loves in a righteous fury.

Muta, the ratfolk alchemist. Known as the Plague of Knives, her nimble swordplay turns the enemy to swiss cheese and her mutated form strikes fear into her foes.

Stringo Twang, the half-trasgo arcane archer. With his gravelly rock star voice, he inspires his allies to great courage, before his bow rains down punishment on profane beasts.

While some friends have come and gone, these adventurers managed to stick together and save the world, completing their years-long (in real life) campaign, and earning a much-earned heroic rest.

Thanks to Abby, Z, and Doug for creating these lovable dorks and sticking with the campaign for so long. On to the next one!

New NSFW Story - Oh Gods, They Were Roommates

It’s been a while, but I got randomly inspired to write this story by a dream I had. I may have gotten a bit carried away, but I think it’s well worth it.

In this short story, Astrid, a nerdy transfemme human, begins her sophomore year of college and meets her roommate, a rowdy, jock cisfemme trasgo (goblinoid). The two struggle to get along, but the two manage to open up to one another and Astrid discovers parts of herself she didn’t know she had. Could this be the start of a fiery romance?

Featuring transfemme solo and transfemme x cisfemme scenes with a spicy size difference. 27 pages and over 10k words make this one a slow, but satisfying burn.

NSFW Patrons get this story for free. Read it here!

Just want this story? Buy it on Gumroad!

Civ VI Has an Endgame Problem

image

I think at this point we’re all at least passively familiar with the Civilization series of empire-building strategy games. At this point I’ve played about 100 hours of the most recent iteration, Civ VI, and every single game I play of it has me thinking the same thing: the endgame totally sucks. Here are some reasons I think why.

2022 Games of the Year

Hello everyone! 2022 is officially in the can, so it’s time for me to rank my top 10 favorite games that I played this year. Here are the groundrules:

  • Any game I played and finished (whatever that means for each game) this year for the first time. Games that I have played before but only finished this year for the first time are eligible.
  • If I don’t finish a game during the year, as long as I finish it before the end of January and a majority of the playtime was in the last year, it counts.
  • Ports, remasters, and alternate editions of a game count as the same game, but full remakes do not.
  • Only one game per series. Same franchise but different series is okay.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at my favorites this year!

I’m so excited to announce that my novel Owl of the Pale Moon is out now! I worked so hard on this book and it’s finally available to order. Stock may take a few days to fully roll out to all retailers, but it should be available to order now. I’d really appreciate it if everyone could take a moment to check it out and maybe grab a copy. And if you like the book, please give it a review on Amazon or wherever you purchased it. Thanks, everyone!

Synopsis

What would you do if the chance to escape your miserable life came crashing down to earth?

Cassie, a miserable factory worker and a Changer besides, dreams of learning magic and escaping the capitalist hellscape. One day her wish comes true when a powerful wizard-cum-phantom thief crash-lands in her sleepy town. Next thing she knows, Cassie is whisked away on a magical flying ship, learning wizardry, seeing the world, and discovering the secrets of her beautiful new teacher.

Before long, Cassie is swept up in daring heists, perilous expeditions into fey-infested jungles, tangling with a werewolf, and being stalked by a strange man in a mask. And that’s all on top of her magic lessons and discovering the secrets of the magical flying House Brandwyck.
