The Hive Is REALLY Alive!

I decided to go back to my bugle avatar.

Now I can toot my own horn again.

In the back of Requiem is an ad for The Bonds of Magic which sounds really effing cool. I might as well shoot myself in the foot and get it over with. Early next year I'm gonna splurge and buy up the rest of the Malhavoc product line.

Heads up: Bonds of Magic is just an NPC book. Don't know if you knew this or not. I'm not necessarily fond of NPC books, so I thought I'd give you the warning.

I do like a lot of the books, or rather I tend to like pieces of a lot of books. Like Anger of Angels. Interesting read, but part of the book is detailing Angels as PC races, but the minimum Angel had an LA of like +5. Then, there were some feats that my group and I thought were just way too powerful. I don't think we ended up using ANYTHING from that book...

Thats perfectly fine. I tend to draw inspiration from weird places and odd books.

Doesn't everyone?

Some people don't have the courage or aren't open minded enough to go to weird places or read odd books.

I know for a fact that if I ever came across The Necronomicon I would read it, just not aloud (for the obvios reasons).

I have (or had) a copy of the "Necronomicron" by Simon, not the cool original leather bound edition of 666 or the cloth bound edition of 3333, but the standard soft cover edition you could find Barnes and Noble.

Supposedly some of the spells and chants in the book could actually do something, but I don't know.

Does it have anything to do with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (Agronak gro-Malog)?

Actually no. But now that you mention it, that name might itself be a reference to the one I'm talking about. Both are big, brutish, and not too bright...

Which version ? I do have one of them...

I think there are at least three "genuine" versions in publishing atm .

The original; the bound in human flesh and inked in blood version.

Speaking about the strange...

Here's a little story...

I long time ago, there used to be a pagan/witchraft shop nearby called Lady Desiree's Bewitchery. That place had strange vibes. My old friend Chris who was into black magic (and maybe still is) used to say that there was something dark and evil reciding in that store. Never-the-less, he used to go there to get some of his black magic related goodies.

One random day he decided to go to Lady Desiree's and while in the shopping center he noticed some random guy standing outside burning sage (incense?) outside the shop and mumbling to himself. Curious he asked the guy what he was doing and the person said "I'm a demon hunter, and right now I'm warding myself against the entity in the shop." The guy then warned Chris not to enter the building. Chris thought that the guy was full of it and promptly entered the store.

Several minutes later the "demon hunter" entered the shop and at that moment one of the workers in the store bolted into the back room and left the other employee to tend the shop. The "demon hunter" then walked around the shop and mumbled to himself for several minutes while occasionally glancing towards the back door before finally deciding to leave. Chris then made some purchases and then likewise ended up leaving.

According to Chris the next several times he went to the shop the place "felt different." He also claimed he never scene that employee who bolted from the storeroom again.


Now, I'm know what happened could be easily explained away as coincidence and as an encounter with a crazed stalker or even that the story was made up; but part of me wishes (and fears the possibility) that there could be some strange mystical explanation to the event.
