"My dick brings more joy than yuletide, Compared to the finest horse it is a better ride, My tongue so great you could only do worse. A second verse you demand? I've raked my way across this land, Music is loud, so take my hand, I turn passion up until it is demand, One taste is not enough...

The Kingdom of Letha is one with a long and storied history, many centuries of conquests, of Kings who died in both battle and intrigue, of noble maidens and brave knights. Of the chivalric and honourable values that mark them as the True Claimants of the empire of old. Recently, the latest...

Post 1, Character Creation. --- There is a ringing in your ears. The last time you had a ringing like this, they had to stitch you back together in a fancy new life support suit. This time, however, is different. You don't feel wounds on your body, missing limbs, none of that. You don't smell...

The sun drowned upper Manhattan. It’s time to wake up. Eyes bleary, mouth dry. Eyes itching, teeth gritted over. It almost makes one wonder why even wake up? It’s so rarely worth it. Oh, sure, that Chinese place down by the lower city was great, and that rave the Muses held the month before...

When One Is Zero, Who Shall Be The One Above All? Louise Valliere opened her eyes, and looked upon reality gone mad. The very earth had been thrown up into the ruined heavens, streaming roads of stars going in every direction as the blackness held within itself islands of possibility, lands of...

Death and Rebirth, this world is defined by such things more than anyone realizes. Settlements separated by vast distances, wild areas filled with monsters and outlaws... it is by the Gods' grace that mortal kind has survived this broken world. To that end, once every year this land's capital...

You can’t believe the nerve of this guy. A pickpocket! In broad daylight, and the train station isn’t even that packed. He has no excuse. You turn, dropping your stance to anchor your feet and striking in a full extension, one arm dropping to push his arm off you as the other snaps in. Your...

Welcome, pursuers of fallible semi-histories, plumbers of the depths of the mythical information super-highway, and various other creators of originality-adjacent media to a world ruled by MAD SCIENCE! Poorly. Perhaps, dear readers, you have heard of the marvelous tales of Agatha Heterodyne...

Hey all, these days I have been thinking about making a quest. Something relatively unique, so I thought and though, "What kind of setting doesn't happen that much here?" And so I got the idea, "A Western!" Ah, but not any kind of western, no, no. A fantasy one, the weird west, but! Even...

Beep-beep-beep-be click! Struggling a bit to smack your phone, you yawn. Staying up all night was pretty stupid, but you... yawn, had to finish Hal's outfit. Didn't hurt it intrigued you so much. Mean, a half-poncho/cape thing to hide his left arm? Most just ask for normal stuff, so it was...

Author's Note: Gonna get rid of some writer's block that's been plaguing me for weeks, so here's something from the past to get things started. ... You are a Kobold, and your home is getting...Boring, for lack of a better term. You want to explore, see the world and find out what else there is...

Three thousand worlds collapsed into One. As you return to consciousness, the first thing you realize is that you’re falling. You’re falling through the sky, seemingly a thousand kilometres above the ground. So high up, that nothing is visible below you but a hazy splash of colours. You twist...

The Quest Begins The first two hours after the revelation of the Evil were smooth, for those who chose to join. From following the man to his rather remarkable airship, grander in scale than perhaps the idea of a personal airship, to the first hour in swift flight towards the chaos lands...

Prophecy's Pawns The man paces back and forth, an odd contrast between his full plate suit of armor and his simple wooden quarterstaff resting against his shoulder. You glance between him and the motley crowd assembled before him, more coming into the tavern by the minute, each responding to...
