A nation burns. After a longer-than-intended break, I’m shaking the ol’ dice bags again and returning to the DM’s seat. Small People in a Big World As I was entering the back half of The End of Magic, I knew I wanted my next campaign to be a step back down to the low-end of […]
523 years ago, six professors of the sovereign university of Arcaxius performed a dark ritual, murdering their fellows to become liches and seize control of the university for their own ends.

Focusing on the pieces in front of him, Stephen holds out his right hand, three fingers pursed against the thumb, trembling slightly. His left remains more still, pressed against the surface of the mechanical timepiece. Slowly, holding his breath, he drags his left index finger anti-clockwise over the glass face. The colour begins to lighten […]

Their faces are elongated, though not as much as the beasts they resemble, with small black beady eyes and long hanging ears like those of goats. Their tongues are about a foot and half long […]

The disregard with which the whole construction had been ravaged certainly supported the leading theory. The collapse at the entrance had been […]
His jaw hurts. A lot. So do his nose, his brow, his temple. In fact, not an inch of his head feels right. The taste of blood registers much stronger than anything he can see or hear. Not that he can see or hear much anyway, through his swollen eyes and ringing ears. He suddenly […]
As the final crossbow bolt sinks in, her body burns away, and the lie that was Igna dies. Now she drifts through a sea of red, as an infinity of anguishing sins scream the chorus of her return to the Abyss. While her true shape begins to reform, she eavesdrops on the thousand layers around […]
