Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People

It’s Monday again. Please enjoy this song.
If you’re reading this from the US, now’s a good time to check your voter registration and find out how to vote absentee in your state. Sheer numbers are a good way to beat voter suppression.
I am planning on announcing a new project this week, so watch this space!
Keep fighting the good fight, and have an excellent week.

It’s Monday again.
Willow Ford, one of the authors I profiled in this post, has released her new book, The Fadian Experiment! You can find it on Amazon here.
Have an excellent week, and keep fighting the good fight, because it certainly isn’t over.

The Hounds of God know who killed Jimmy Thiess: seventeen-year-old Charlie Palmer, who was recently relocated from Portland to Singer Lake. Despite her youth, the Hounds are certain they have their murderer, and are ready to enact their revenge as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Detective Rezai is trying to persuade them not to, and to focus instead on the problem of a huge tear in the fabric of reality and the thing that crawled out of it. We find our player characters in the middle of this mess.

Happy Monday! Yes, I’ve been watching The Umbrella Academy.
I’ll be finishing up Singer Lake this week, so check back here on Wednesday.
Have an excellent week.
Young Jimmy Thiess, student and member of the Hounds of God, has been murdered, leaving behind few clues to follow. Fortunately, Jimmy’s friends know who killed him, but now they intend to take matters into their own hands. The players will need to work to uncover the secrets behind Jimmy’s death, and beneath Singer Lake itself, if they are to prevent the situation from getting worse.

It’s Monday again!
I’ll be back on Wednesday with another chapter of Singer Lake. I think it will end up being three short chapters in total, and then I’m going to start a new multi-chapter story. See you soon!
Singer Lake is a beautiful Colorado college town, situated in the wooded hills surrounding the eponymous lake and surrounded by idyllic countryside. It is the home of a University of Colorado campus, the rapidly growing Legend biotech corp, and the headquarters of Life & Family Ministries, an international Christian organization.
The town also has secrets—gears are turning unseen beneath the bustling, modern facade of Singer Lake, and a plan centuries in the making is about to come to fruition.
This adventure was originally written to be the start of a campaign with one Storyteller and only one player, playing a human character who starts out with no awareness of the World of Darkness. It should be fairly easy to adapt it to a party of player characters, and with a little tweaking, it will allow for PCs who represent other World of Darkness archetypes.

Happy Monday!
My plan is to have at least part of a new module called Singer Lake, for the Chronicles of Darkness/nWOD system, up this week. I am also starting work on a new multi-chapter story for you all, which will be announced as soon as I have a title. Watch this space!
Keep fighting the good fight, and have an excellent week.

Happy Monday!
I hope you are enjoying the blog remodel. If there are any further readability upgrades I can make, please don’t hesitate to ask.
There is a possibility I’ll be able to get some new content up this week. Failing that, I’ll have something next week.
If you’re in the US, please contact your local legislators and representatives and urge them to resist the invasion of federal agents in unmarked vehicles to your city. Here’s a resource you can use.
Keep fighting the good fight, and have an excellent week.
