Thanks! It means a lot.

I, Gossamer - 09/04/2019 I wasn’t born yesterday. But I suppose it’s close enough to count. I could feel the warmth and glow of the sun this morning, as it streamed through the windows of the inn. I lazily opened my eyes, enjoying the touch of the sun caressing me. I yawned and started to...

Strange dreams, stranger gifts – 08/28/2019 Things never seem to last. Ragpicker’s Square is full of the refuse and broken things of Sigil. The poor pick through it, looking for anything that could be of value, no matter how low. It’s a testament to how nothing stands up to the ravages of...

Of Powers and things (8/22/2019) It is a given that mortals don’t have a full understanding of what immortals want. Not fiends. Not celestials. Not Slaadi. Not Modrons. But whatever we think we know about their desires, we have even less understanding about Powers. And to pretend we do is...

I like the fact that there are now pageview stats on the forums, similar to the app. However, it rounds to the nearest K. Is there a way to get the precise page view count on a specific thread?

Faith healing - 08/15/2019 Belief is the strongest thing in the multiverse. It transcends the mortal self and forges places and powers. Most of the time you don’t question what you believe in. When you do that is normally a crisis. But sometimes we don’t know what we believe. And there is...

Doors - 8/7/2019 Doors A closed and locked door is perhaps the worst thing you can present a Sensate. ‘What’s hiding beyond it?’ The idea of interesting things beyond waiting to be experienced makes a Sensate like a cat. The cat is on the wrong side of every door. Of course, a planeswalker...

A Final Kiss of Mercy – Part 2 - 08/01/2019 A Final Kiss of Mercy - Part 2 The Faction War was a “short war.” The Blood War was far older, and still rages today. But every time I hear it being called ‘short’ I only have one thought. It wasn’t short enough. But I remembered it clearly…...

A Final Kiss of Mercy – Part 1 - 7/25/2019 A Final Kiss of Mercy – Part 1 When you are young, it is easy to laugh at death. To face it brazenly and with bravado. To boast about cheating it with friends and laughing with drinks afterwards. We are quick to deny it’s hold and smile knowingly...

Plains of Blood - 07-18-2019 Plains of Blood There are no cemeteries in Sigil. The Dustman take care of the dead according to the beliefs of the deceased. That could be a burial in the earth, submerged in on ocean, picked apart by carrion birds of the sky, or incineration by great flames...

Kobolds – the other kind of Lizard - 07/11/2019 Kobolds – the other kind of Lizard I kinda like Kobolds. Any creature willing to build anything in the Hive that improves things, is due a bit of respect. Even if it was only a sewer. But it was the only sewer in the Hive. Of course, that was...

Thank you! You are indeed the first to comment, and it does mean a lot to me! I'm about a 3rd of the way on the story, so I'll be here a while. Please, enjoy, and for others reading, would love to hear from you!

The Road North - 07/04/2019 The Road North Travel is the gateway to discovery said some Sensate who was a blood for certain. It always sounds simple and nice, like a stroll in the Lady’s Ward looks to be. But here, it felt more like the Lower Wards, at night. What worried me was finding the...

The Grove of the Brethren - 6/26/2019 The Grove of the Brethren There is nothing a bottle of bub can’t fix. Except the real problem. “This seems like a setup,” Iesa muttered. “Why is that? Because it always is?” I retorted. We had left Portstown and were on the road out. I had dropped...

Entering Portstown Gingerly - 6/19/2019 Entering Portstown Gingerly (And a special welcome to the folks who have shot my pageviews through the roof!) My faith spends a lot of time with people preparing for the final days. Either their own, or someone close to them. So, preparing someone to...

The Return of Big D - 6/13/2019 The Return of “Big D" It amazes me often about who lives and who dies. The cruelty and unfairness of it all. But what amazes me more, is that we get along at all. We stood on the top deck, winded and watching the Dragonborn fade back into a gathering crowd...

Leaving Yartar - (6/6/2019) Leaving Yartar Good friends are hard to find. And what makes a good friend is dependent on what you need. A good ear, sage advice, support when you need. But even rarer is one that will lay their life down on the line for you. The purest form of love you could...

Of Fire and Fate - 05/23/2019 Of Fire and Fate There are many regrets one can acquire in a lifetime. Should have, Could have, Would have. It is occasionally nice to say though: “Nope! I don’t regret that!” Not that it was obvious at the time. The hissing sound came from the left and the...

Retracing the Path - 05/09/2019 Retracing the path Some barmy hardhead once said that ‘Criminals always return to the scene of a crime.’ That’s a load of blex. They only do if they have a good reason, or they are really daft. Usually, its’ both. “So, I don’t understand--” Daneath started...

Interlude: Professor Morkbottom - 5/1/2019 Notes from the symposium on “Heroes – Social constructs or deviants?” Candlekeep – DR 1842 Now as I explained in the last hour, heroism takes on many forms. But too often it seems that bards and minstrels overlook in their songs the thought behind...
