Song of the Week

Brandi Carlile, “Mama Werewolf”

Good morning! I hope you have some rest from your labors today. Just a quick update for this week.

First, in case you missed it, the Kickstarter for the Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot has launched! Click here to see all the cards and look at the rewards and stretch goals. I’ve backed it, and I highly recommend you do, too.

I’ll be going to the Awkward Nerd Book Fair on September 22! It’s a throwback to the Scholastic Book Fairs of our youths, but geared toward adults. More on that as we get closer, but you can go here for more information.

Journey to the Water rewrites continue, and I’ll try to have something interesting for you to read later this week, probably Friday.

Petitions for this week:

Via Amnesty International: Join the call for a ceasefire and weapons suspension

Via Rep. Rashida Tlaib: End repressive tactics against pro-Palestine protests

Via Win Without War: Pass the Afghan Adjustment Act without delay

That’s all for today. Thanks for being here.

Song of the Week

Queens of the Stone Age, “Someone’s In the Wolf”

Last October song, so it’s another spooky one.

Continuing the spooky theme, tonight I’ll be streaming Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines with the Tea and Sidequests channel on Twitch. You can come hang out and chat and talk about World of Darkness lore with me!

In case you missed it, I now have a Patreon. There is currently only one subscription tier, for $3 a month. If you subscribe, you’ll get the next chapter of Journey to the Water on Wednesday, a whole week early. Otherwise, you’ll see it here next week. There are other reasons to subscribe, like supporting an independent creator, bonus content other than new chapters, and Patreon livestreams and a community board. As I create more benefits, I’ll be sure to let you know about them, and maybe I can persuade you to subscribe 🙂

Have an excellent week!

Singer Lake, part three

Table of Contents

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.

(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, threatened murder, police, moral panic, gun violence, poverty, haunting, child endangerment, hospitals.)

Singer Lake, part two

Table of Contents

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.)
