Guess Who is Coming to Oktoberfest?
Not that the Slothjemian capital of Jordrakenschloss was ever anything other than a hotbed of chaos, but the last few weeks had been especially eventful.

“My Dearest Duchess”
Dinner had been a fairly routine affair by Bortimer's standards, although anyone else would have marveled at how much food two people could devour.

From the Void flows Scarlet
The crisp autumn evening air held no hint of the horror that awaited. Only the sharpest ears could have heard the crackle of magical energy as the imperceptible border between planar levels was torn open in a jagged oval shape. On the other side of this rift the landscape looked much the same, albeit in … Continue reading From the Void flows Scarlet
If Hell had a Travel Agent
The Marquis of Chute de L’Ombre had never been called a bastion of sanity and clearly thought-out reasonable behavior.
