A few guttural moans floated through the air as a cousin pointed to a … Continue reading Mycelium 2. Kimora
The wind whipped around her shoulders as she sealed the last bolt and heaved the power breaker lever. She felt the thrumming vibrations reverberating through the pylon as it powered up again and patted the casing affectionately before raising the base on her radio. "Control, this is Rook.

Next time we'll be setting off on a proper adventure all being well. Journal of Althas Binder … Continue reading Dark Times 2: Recovery and Preparation
This is the start of a new character I've been playing with Ironsworn RPG, a fantastic fiction forward game by Shawn Tompkin and bizarrely, available completely free for the massive core rule book.
