The Stranglers, “Golden Brown”
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.
Singer Lake, part two
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.
(As usual, this is a fan-made module, and I am in no way associated with Onyx Path Publishing, White Wolf Games, or the creators of World of Darkness or the Chronicles of Darkness storytelling system. Content notes for this chapter: murder, rather sanitized gang activity, police, child neglect and potential endangerment, proselytizing.)

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, part one
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.
Construction complete!
You may notice a change of decoration! Also, all my writing has been updated with new tags. You can find the tag cloud at the bottom of the page.

No Song of the Week today, because I’m participating in this small way in the Strike for Black Lives.

Construction update
You may notice that there is now a “Stories” and a “Modules” tab above! You will find Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea and Love Song in Six Verses under “Stories,” and The Well Below the Valley under “Modules.” Each chapter’s Table of Contents link will now go to the proper new spot.
All the images on the blog should now have descriptions in the alt-text, and there is an extra picture of my cats on the About Me page.
I’ll be working on tags and the color scheme next!
