bad decisions

Welcome to the recruitment drive created by Admin: Kuro. All of you will be erased save one. Now, entertain me with your flailing, I've got a bucket o' boredom, complete popcorn and a side of impatience. But where's the butter? Eh, the portions of your soul that flake off can be my butter! Now...

I want to write something, and I have for a long time, but I always get distracted by another new idea or a lack of motivation. Here I want to lay out the basic premise for a number of quests I've come up with over the years, but never started. It's my hope that getting something started in an...

Welcome friend, to Arkham Lounge. In this journey through Gothams history, you will guide the lounge through the seasons and use it to influence the city's path, in divergences large and small. But before we begin to weave ourselves a tapestry of conversations and sharing of ideals and thoughts...

Solar Flames This is based off an RPG GMed by @BiopunkOtrera many moons ago in which I was a player. Let's have fun! It is the year 0052 of the Transtellar Era, more than three decades since the greatest war humankind ever saw tore through the origin system; the Solar War. And in its wake...

The day of my birth was heralded by rain. It was a one in a hundred years event, a portent of tidings from the gods. The barren desert became fertile for scant few years, until life became hard once more. For my people, death was a constant bedfellow. Soon, we will be extinguished, for the...

Hefusts Explores the Inner Sphere Commodore Clifford Hale clasped his hands behind his back as he stood at attention, twiddling his three thumbs nervously as he looked up at President Jack English. The man was tall even for a Hefustian, and Commodore Hale was barely a hundred eighty...

Blame @OneirosTheWriter for this one, because the Captain's Logs in To Boldly Go... were scratching an itch that has returned. There's also been a lot of ideas bouncing around in my head for 4X games where you don't just fill up a meter on a research bar with "Science" but that you go out and do...

Within the great halls of the temple cities of Lustria, it was written many times what the herald of the Armageddon would be. It was Lustria that was granted the knowledge of the herald of the end, and Lustria that was charged first with the Great Plan to resist. In the many, many years since...

CICERO: An AI agent that negotiates, persuades, and cooperates with people Games have long been a proving ground for new AI advancements — from Deep Blue's victory over chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, to AlphaGo's mastery of Go, to Pluribus out-bluffing the best humans in poker. But truly...

You are nameless, formless, suspended in a pool of Sludge. You float in an infinite abyss of infinite possibilities. With no way of propelling yourself, you drift aimlessly by the will of the currents. Until something touches you. Something graces you with its presence, granting you a spark of...

The wind is blowing. I can hear it's gentle breath. It tickles my ears and it ruffles my hair. It reminds me that I still live, in this little garden of sin. The wind is blowing. It whistles and it howls. It speaks of carnage and chaos. It is a gentle calm before a storm. A catastrophe that...

The thing about heroes, was that they were flawed. There was no such thing as a perfect hero. Not even Superman. That ship had sailed before I was born. This fact was difficult to grasp and even more difficult to accept. I don't think I can yet accept it. The subway of Gotham was, relatively...

Once upon a time, the falling leaves of gold whispered a story. A great tale of the Elden Ring, shattered forevermore. Rent and twain lay our home, the Lands Between hidden within the Fog. Alas, our great Queen Marika the Eternal is nowhere to be found. Lo, Godwyn the Golden, fallen...

A Misplaced Periphery Colony BattleMech Design Quest Your coffee mug is made of gold, courtesy of your favorite (and only) niece. The letters crudely hammered into the soft metal pronounce you "Best Profesur!" You look furtively out of the hallway before adding the dollop of whiskey, hiding...

Extendy Enna, Esq. Two years ago, the world was turned upside-down by the revelation that demigods walked among the rest of us. In the wake of that revelation (as well as the unfortunate holiday party incident), you moved from California to Seattle, one of the growing epicenters of superpowered...

So, this is a somewhat unusual situation. Originally, this story was posted on QQ (Which for those of you who are interested in reading it in its full original context, can be found here) for a variety of reasons. However, several things, such as the story panning in a direction that is in many...

Tomorrow. A curious word. The days by which the Association of Magi referred to tomorrow as assured have waxed and waned. In preparation for the inevitable day, the organization known as Fenis Chaldea, the Security Organization for Securing the Future of Man, was founded. However, since tomorrow...

Etaja flees, as quickly and subtly as he can, the endless blue patterns of the Way shifting around him as he goes. He doesn't know what's on his tail, precisely: he knows it's an Abidan, because the pursuer attacked him immediately. He knows it's not one of the Abidan Judges, because he didn't...

This is how it begins: Kiana is first. She's a free spirit, a drifter in the wind, the one who loves and the one who has learned how to be lonely. When she tells Tesla that she needs a walk, needs some fresh air, just wants to get out and clear her head and "did you know the shop on 8th Avenue...

Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow - T. S. Eliot, The Hollow Men You are nothing and nowhere. Your world is blessedly silent. There is nobody to ponder regrets or crave an altered state. There is only darkness, and nothing horrible to see within...

There were smarter uses of my time out there, I just knew it. I watched how the kid standing on the street corner made a sign, sending a different boy on the opposite corner on a run around the block to grab a couple vials so he could hand them to the buyer, who had just passed a couple bills...
